Just a driven proud Canadian girl who loves T.O, the hustle&bustle of its people. Loves aesthetically beautiful things, good eye for trend spotting, Social Cat!
Of course the #oscars can get through a show without referring to "pizza" and children. This disgusting code word as they zoom into a kid?! Absolutely horrendous:
A deafening silence speaks volumes. At a historic press conference on Parliament Hill, constitutional lawyer Shawn Buckley revealed a stunning truth: not a single mainstream media reporter was present.
This wasn't just any event. It was the delivery of the third-largest paper petition in Canada’s 157-year history, a monumental grassroots effort by citizens demanding the protection of their fundamental right to access natural health products (NHPs).
As Buckley articulated, this is a story in itself. Why does a nation need to create a "Health Charter" simply to entrench rights they already have? Why did a cross-country tour, fueled by volunteers and filled with standing-room-only crowds, garner a media blackout?
Buckley calls it the "dog that didn't bark"—a crucial clue from Sherlock Holmes pointing to a deeper truth. He asserts that Canada is in the midst of a "spiritual war" over bodily autonomy, where Health Canada's censorship of truthful health information about NHPs is a pivotal piece of the puzzle. The goal, he warns, is to force everyone into a rigid "allopathic model" that serves Big Pharma and strips citizens of hope and choice.
The absence of the press confirms the establishment's fear: if the public knew the full extent of this overreach, "it would bring down the entire system."
This is a pivotal moment. The fight for the freedom to choose how we care for our own bodies is happening now, and it’s being led by the people.
This is not just about vitamins. It’s about freedom.
STAND WITH SHAWN BUCKLEY. Support the Natural Health Product Protection Association (NHPPA).
@rwesthead Oh they’re coming for you Scott Oakman and the rest of the crooks at the @GTHLHockey (hey! Why did Oakman wipe and take down his Twitter account)
Update: The Canadian Hockey League said in May 2020 that it would pay $30M to settle three minimum-wage class action lawsuits.
The CHL and its three leagues - the OHL, QMJHL and WHL - had battled the lawsuits since 2014. Players suing the leagues argued teams are for-profit businesses and that players should enjoy protection under employment rights legislation.
A judge, however, froze settlement funds pending the outcome of other litigation involving the CHL.
In a court hearing in Quebec today, a lawyer for several former QMJHL players asked a judge to allow them to fire their previous lawyer.
The players' new lawyer tells me they want to rip up the settlement agreement so they can either negotiate a better deal or take their case to trial.

We are deeply troubled & disturbed that a Ukrainian veteran of the infamous 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Nazi SS - which actively participated in the genocide of Jews - was celebrated with a standing ovation in the Canadian Parliament.
#Canada's Jewish community stands firmly with #Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression.
But we can't stay silent when crimes committed by Ukrainians during the Holocaust are whitewashed.
#HarryandMeghan watched as the media did everything to ruin their reputation,the endless character assassination.They weren’t allowed to speak,daily articles trashing them,hundreds of books taken as truth.Those who benefited from their silence are the ones not happy about #spare
A BBC investigation has uncovered evidence of migrant workers dying in workplace accidents in Qatar, in the final weeks before the World Cup. Families in #Nepal blame poor safety standards. Qatar's govt says it’s committed to the safety of all workers. @pateriyaram@rajneeshb
@DavidPiccini My children are burnt out from online learning and they don’t want to be back in school. They can’t wait until school is over. I wouldn’t worry too much about the critics. The kids just want to go outside and play. Just saying!
