@MeghanMcCain Was it failed policies that started the fires in California? Or Colorado? You know, where we just lost a Canadian firefighter because Canada sent people to help fight YOUR fires? No complain about our air when the fires happened? No because it is all sad. We chose to help!
On Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s birthday, we carry on her vision of building a more inclusive world for people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
Her torch is in our hands, and together we're making her vision a reality.

A dog failed his service dog exam, and was later seen at a train station carrying the reason why.
People at the station couldn’t stop staring when the dog walked onto the train with a stuffed elephant held proudly in his mouth.
At first, everyone thought it was part of his training.
But his owner started laughing and explained the truth.
The dog had been training to become a service dog, but during one of his final tests, he kept getting distracted by an elephant plushie nearby. Instead of staying focused, he tried to steal it like it was the only thing in the room that mattered.
That was the moment he failed.
But his owner said he couldn’t be mad. The dog had tried his best, and even if he wasn’t meant to be a service dog, he was still loyal, gentle, and full of love.
So before they left, he bought him the elephant toy.
That night, the dog didn’t pass the exam, but he still went home with the person who chose him anyway.
Ricky Gervais on Weddings vs Funerals 😂
Ricky Gervais explains why he prefers funerals over weddings in his own savage way. Absolutely brilliant.
“I’ve been to a lot of funerals in my time. You live this long, you know a lot of people, they die, right? And I don’t mind funerals cause it’s the end.”
“I hate weddings. Oh, f*cking hell. There’s so much hope, and they’re needy and arrogant. Do you wanna come and watch us for 12 hours? No, f*ck no.”
“Even the invite is arrogant, isn’t it? It’s like a royal decree. You are cordially invited. It’s not a fcking honour. I don’t wanna go to your sh*tty wedding.”
“And then you go, ‘Oh right, yeah, when is it?’ And they go, ‘Two years time.’ They know you haven’t got an excuse for two years time. So you just have to hope that one of them dies.”
“So you go, ‘Oh yeah, I’ll be there, yeah, yeah.’ ‘Where is it?’ They go, ‘India.’ ‘Oh, f*ck off! I’m not having injections for you, you boring b*stards.’”
Legend. Ricky always says what we’re all secretly thinking but too polite to say out loud. 🤣
On April 12, 1980, Terry Fox, accompanied by his friend Doug Alward, dipped his right leg into the Atlantic Ocean at St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
It began the Marathon of Hope and turned Fox into a Canadian hero and icon.
This is the story.

@BasmaNeill47416@PatriciaHeaton Only for the lucky ones. Too many people needing Healthcare, not even services etc to support it. Immigration is part of the issue. People bring whole families over and they get immediate coverage, without yet having paid into the system.
@Murray393S@NotTheirScript It is wonderful for maintenance and normal check ups etc... I was very lucky in an emergency but I know others who waited and waited. Some ended up paying in the US.
