Prince George, BC: Motel worker at Super 8/Easters Inn pouring yellow paint into BC sewer drain which leads to fish habitat. Management denied it until shown video, offers free hotel stays to keep quiet.

@JEVLloyd I can't believe she is still in this role.

Donald Trump is about to turn Jan 6 criminals into MILLIONAIRES.

With your tax dollars.

The people who smeared feces on the Capitol walls…
…hunted Mike Pence through the halls of Congress…
…assaulted cops.

He’s creating a $1.7 billion apology fund for them.

Disgusting.

COLLINS: But if someone was paying $2.98 a gallon before the war, and now they're paying $4.53, saying 'that's life' might not make them feel better

JIM JORDAN: Those are your words, not mine

COLLINS: You said that just now. I quoted you.

SHOULDNT IT BE A BIGGER STORY THAT THE US PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY SOLD A NONE EXISTENT PHONE AND IS NOW TELLING EVERYONE THAT PAID FOR IT THAT THERE IS NO PHONE AND NO REFUND 🙄
THE US PRESIDENT IS RUNNING HIS CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION FROM INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE AND IT IS A HORRIFIC LOOK FOR AMERICA 🤷

POILIEVRE: Carney, you doubled the deficit.

CARNEY: I reduced the deficit.

How is increasing the deficit from $31 BILLION to $65 BILLION reducing it?

What kind of Liberal math is that??? 🤔

Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it. RT

I’m so 😞 we in NWOntario have been loud. Please join us.
We had 10 dead in 10 days here it was heart breaking. Our government isn’t hearing us yet @MarkJCarney @MarcusPowlowski @PattyHajdu @fordnation @KevinHollandMPP clearly it’s not just NWOntario it’s country wide. It is your job to keep Canadians safe. By all metrics you have all failed your constituents

My son finally got his PWD approved and this is what he will receive a month to live on . It’s criminal. You wonder why so many people in BC live on the streets because many can’t afford to live anywhere - legislative poverty #bcpoli @Dave_Eby

Liberal MP Melanie Joly says ridings that don't vote Liberal will not receive any federal funding. Federal funding is our tax dollars which Liberals say they will withhold unless you vote for them. How is that not extortion?

Another physician warns about the March 2027 expansion of assisted suicide to include mental illness alone:

"Most psychiatrists cannot determine which patient has an irremediable condition."

"Those with mental disorders... do not meet the condition of informed consent."

Mark Carney, Canada’s Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party, says:

“We cannot trust America.”

Meanwhile:

- His wife lives in the United States
- All four of his children live and study in the United States
- 91% of his investment portfolio is in the United States
- He owns a house in the United States

Yet he tells Canadians they can’t trust America.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

There is a video circulating on the internet that is difficult to watch. A woman sits on a pavement in Louisville, Kentucky. She is wearing a hospital gown. It is 36 degrees outside. Her belongings, everything she apparently owns, are in a plastic bag on the concrete beside her. Behind her, through the glass doors she has just been escorted through, the hospital hums along as normal. The security guards who brought her here have already gone back inside.

She couldn’t afford her bill.

This is not a scene from a developing nation or a history book. This is the United States of America.
The country in which it happens has spent decades telling the rest of the world that it has the highest GDP on earth. Which is a bit like a restaurant proudly displaying its bill on the wall. Enormous number. Terrible meal. The lobster was frozen, the wine came from a box.

Europe, by comparison, has spent the better part of a century building something rather different. The food, for a start, is extraordinary. Not in a showy way, but in the way that a simple lunch in Lyon or a glass of wine on a terrace in Lisbon reminds you that eating is one of the genuinely good things about being alive. The wine is the wine that the rest of the world has spent generations attempting to replicate, mostly without success.

Roughly 35 percent of Europeans live with a chronic illness. In America, that number is 76 percent. The difference is not genetic. It is architectural. It is the slow accumulation of decent food, walkable cities, actual holidays, and a healthcare system that does not require you to crowdfund your own appendix.

Europeans work fewer hours. They have more purchasing power on a smaller salary once you subtract the cost of health insurance, medical debt, and the private school their child needs because the local public one has a metal detector at the entrance. They live, on average, about ten years longer. Not ten years of decline and doctor visits, but ten years of being a person in the world.

In the first quarter of 2025, the number of Americans leaving the United States doubled compared to the previous quarter.  Europe was their top destination. Not for a sabbatical or a gap year. Permanently. These are not people who failed. These are people who did the maths.

There is a man somewhere in America right now who has worked fifty-hour weeks for forty years, taken one week off when his employer permitted it, and will, statistically, be dead before he sees seventy. And there is another man, not very far away on a map but an entire civilisation removed in practice, sitting on a terrace in the afternoon sun with a glass of something cold and no particular place to be. He has had six weeks off every summer since 1987. He knows his neighbours by name.

The first man’s country has the higher GDP.

The first man’s country tops the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) index. The second man tops the Quality of Life Index (QLI). The better health. The longer life. The afternoon.

MAGA America calls that losing.

Ask anyone.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi was just asked about Trump's crazed post of himself as Jesus, and she responded like a boss lady.

Her response is the real truth about Donald Trump and a must-watch. Buuurnnn. 🔥

[wealthmoose @wealthmoose]

🚨🇨🇦 Melanie Joly just said the quiet part out loud: If you don’t vote Liberal, your riding doesn’t get funding.

Since when did our tax dollars become a partisan ransom note?

@melaniejoly

This isn't democracy; it’s extortion. 👇

[Lucy Riles @LucyRiles]

What’s the line for you Christians? What’s the final straw?

“Epstein is a hoax” wasn’t too far.

No new wars to war with Iran wasn’t too far.

F bombs on Easter morning wasn’t too far.

$5 a gallon gas wasn’t too far.

Threatening a “whole civilization” that they would die in a night wasn’t too far.

Attacking The Pope wasn’t too far.

What about this? Trump posting himself as a Jesus like messiah figure. Complete blasphemy and antichrist vibes.

[Life in a nutshell @inanutshellok]

@blue_eyes_0928 Wake up. This IS Trump. Delusional, conceited, puts himself above all else. He puts his crazy on display and tells you who he is, and MAGA eats it up.
