@GeorgePirieMPP@NOHFC Kapuskasing’s Sessenbrenner Hospital is running yearly deficits because of chronic underfunding, but you corrupt assholes are giving nearly half-a-million dollars to a private golf course.
WORLD RECORD SUMMER MCINTOSH
SHE’S DONE IT IN MONTREAL

Morocco are a dangerous team but do not miss that the Netherlands absolutely flattered them with Koeman’s dogshit tactics. Canada will give them a game if not win. Believe.
Kyle Kulinski: “There’s only one way to handle this: tax the fucking shit out of them and jail the criminal billionaires. And there’s a lot of criminal billionaires and that criminal trillionaire. The problem never was immigrants, trans people, Black people, any minority community. It was always the billionaires”
Elon Musk said that if anyone had actually died because of USAID cuts, their names would be worldwide headline news. Lauren Dobson-Hughes wrote them down.
Jane. Nine years old. Kenya. Died of starvation in a refugee camp after food rations were cut to 40% of daily caloric needs. Her mother Rovina watched her develop fever, diarrhea, a skin rash, wounds across her whole body. Documented by Dr. Atul Gawande of Harvard.
Yagana Bulama's twin in Nigeria. Six months old. Died two weeks after the Mercy Corps severe malnutrition program lost its USAID funding. Yagana had already buried three babies.
Nada, eighteen months, and Omer, three years old. Sudan. Their mother Fatma lost them both after the soup kitchen providing their one meal a day ran out of food. Omer loved wrestling and dreamed of owning a bike.
Mohammed Hashim, two years old. Myanmar. His father Mohammed Taher held him as he died of malnutrition. The food rations stopped when USAID was cut. "I lost my son because of the funding cuts," his father said.
Shahnaz and her newborn baby girl. Afghanistan. She died delivering on the side of a dirt road after the USAID clinic was closed. The baby died shortly after. Abdul covered the baby's grave in thorns to stop animals digging it up.
Joseph, Gift, and Alumbwe. Seventeen, fifteen, and twelve years old. Zambia. They lost both parents to AIDS when antiretroviral supplies ended. Joseph dropped out of school to care for his brothers. They sleep on a shared mat. They eat once a day. Joseph wants to be a doctor.
Musk said the names would be worldwide headline news if they existed. The names existed.

Carney is doing everything Elon Musk and DODGE did and following the Trump administration step by step at the federal level, and Doug Ford and Danielle Smith are executing their orders at the provincial level, and Canadians aren't seeing how dangerous this is for all of us.
I'm furious about this.
I'm a parent and one of my children who falls in this age category has faced very serious in person bullying at school that extended out into social media. It was all encompassing and seriously harmful.
So I understand the potential for seriously negative impact from social media on young people.
But the single most important thing that got them through it was their friendship online with kids in the US. 1 in particular who became a very close friend who was part of a larger group.
They game together but spend the time chatting and working on plans for the future. It's a true friendship. Talking about business ideas, culture, etc, for hours everyday.
Without that, they would have had absolutely no outlet and been doomed to only exist in a reality in which they have been completely outcast.
As a parent, I monitor social media use using already available tools. I create accounts myself and know who is being interacted with.
I set up curfews for certain apps on all devices but make sure I allow for the positive interactions and friendships to happen.
As some are in the US, that means access at late hours but I'm entirely capable of managing this and I know the trade offs involved and then manage through those as well.
I talk with my children directly about the risks, what to do, what not to do and why.
If the government moves forward with these blanket curfews, that will cut my child off from their best friend for good which will very seriously impact their mental health.
I will absolutely not accept the government harming my child in this manner.
Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries
