@Garnet_2203 I feel like you should definitely report her to the corporate level. That is ridiculous. They should know which hosts are causing their business model to fail.

@Galsen_24 How can she, a female officer who is actually a member of a protected group, discriminate through a freaking car? What a goof…

@breakfastclubam @sherylunderwood @netflix It was a funny show. I like that it starts a conversation. We should be able to have complicated conversations.

Roseanne Milburn, 61, of Winnipeg, had a routine procedure turn into an amputation — not because the surgery failed, but because Canada’s government-run system couldn’t find her a bed.

A surgeon at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre removed dead tissue from her knee, then sent her to Concordia Hospital with the plan to bring her back that same day so a specialist could stitch the wound (CBC News). She was never brought back.

There was no bed at HSC. So she sat at Concordia with an 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬, waiting for the system to make room.

As the video narrator put it: “𝘌𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘢. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘶𝘣𝘢, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘳-𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘥-𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺. 𝘕𝘰, 𝘯𝘰, 𝘯𝘰, 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘢.”

By the time a bed opened, the wound had rotted past saving. The doctors told her the leg couldn’t be salvaged. On a Friday in December, Roseanne Milburn lost her 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐠 — over a missing hospital bed.

This is not a freak accident. It is the predictable output of a system that rations care by making people wait.

In 2025, the median Canadian waited 𝟐𝟖.𝟔 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 from a GP referral to actual treatment (Fraser Institute). For orthopedic surgery — the exact category Milburn needed — the median wait is 𝟒𝟖.𝟔 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬. Nearly a full year. By design.

That is 222 percent longer than the 9.3-week wait Canadians faced in 1993 (Fraser Institute). The system isn’t getting better. It’s getting slower — and the waiting list itself becomes the rationing mechanism.

Defenders call it “𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦”. It is not free. Roseanne Milburn paid for it. She paid with her leg.

Every politician selling “𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘭𝘭” is selling this — the bed that never opens, the specialist who never comes, the wound that turns black while a bureaucrat shuffles a list.

@Rightanglenews He can’t breath because his lungs are collapsing and the angle with his hands behind his back obviously aggravated the internal bleeding….

@steve_t_osborne @Gutfeldfox We are under a surveillance state already. Every store you go into, every IP you connect to. You’re naive if you think you’re avoiding unnecessary data collection. At least this program serves a clear purpose and is activated by gunfire. Gun violence is a real issue!!

When we start thinking of economic realities without scarcity, it’s not a zero sum game!

A tiny bee just did what chemotherapy couldn't.

Scientists in Australia discovered that honeybee venom can wipe out 100% of aggressive breast cancer cells in under 60 minutes.
And the healthy cells around them? Barely touched.

The breakthrough came from Dr. Ciara Duffy and her team at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, working alongside the University of Western Australia.
They tested venom drawn from 312 honeybees and bumblebees across Australia, Ireland, and England.

The target: triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer. Two of the deadliest, most stubborn forms of the disease.
The weapon: melittin. The same tiny peptide that makes a bee sting burn.

At one specific dose, melittin tore through cancer cell membranes completely within an hour. Within just 20 minutes, it shut down the chemical signals cancer cells need to grow and multiply.
Bumblebee venom, which lacks melittin, did nothing. Zero effect, even at high concentrations.

Scientists then recreated melittin synthetically in the lab and got almost identical results, meaning no bees need to be harmed to develop the therapy.

Published in the peer-reviewed journal npj Precision Oncology, the findings are still early-stage. Human trials haven't happened yet.

But one thing is clear. Nature has been hiding answers in plain sight all along, sometimes inside the smallest creatures on Earth.

@Breaking57 I think she’s being pretty fair tbh

[Jess McQ @jessimcq888]

@GBNEWS He just had the China summit, and it was successful. They should take this threat seriously. Doesn’t serve him not to act this time…

[Jess McQ @jessimcq888]

@juliandorey At least she’s in the job, working to make a difference. I prefer for her to be a politician than making a podcast. You have to do the work, not just complain about it….

[Jess McQ @jessimcq888]

@DANNYUNFILTERED @BROKENBRITAIN0 @metpoliceuk Just head straight to the police headquarters and report this. They can’t press charges without paperwork. It will waste your day, but do it!! Can’t make the Unite the Kingdom anyways.

[Jess McQ @jessimcq888]

@DutchForce17 I don’t disagree with this, but I don’t think it’s linear.

[Jess McQ @jessimcq888]

@0hour1 @spencerpratt He has babies. He is obviously going to protect them. Stop doxxing where he lives media. Good for Spencer for cutting off TMZ. “The symbolism” f**king bulls**t!!

@ItsKingSlime 26 pushing 30 is wild though: stick to porn.

@breakfastclubam @LorenLorosa Don’t do drugs kids!

@PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @Gavin_McInnes @AvaSantina Haha I love you @Gavin_McInnes - Piers you sound unhinged!!!

@PBDsPodcast Put them in Canada! There’s lots of room here. And then we can improve our trade relations. It comes cooled up here.

@RickD_GK @CL4WS_OUT Ew. These teachers are predators. That’s probably the least of the horrible stuff they do to them.

@JakhonToldYou @thefightsclub I don’t know sounds like these ppl cheat on each other. She had emotional affair. Wonder what he did…? It’s a mess. Sucks for the kids. If ppl are emotionally available to other ppl, they shouldn’t be together. Marriage is commitment and these ppl don’t have it.
