devastating speech by the UN Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs.

"...death on this scale has a sound and a smell that does not leave you"

"[in the West Bank] recently [Jewish] settlers abducted a 13 year old girl and her three-year-old brother. They were found tied to a tree. Do we also say to them that we did all that we could?"
"Future generations will hold us to account, we should fear that judgement."

If @fordnation is allowed to run this entire election as though he is running against Donald Trump, we will lose Public Medicare in this province. That is not hyperbole.

He MUST have to answer for his record & his intentions on PROVINCIAL issues that affect all our lives. Our health care has never been in such crisis and disarray. It HAS to matter.

I was told today a man was found frozen to death in Ottawa this morning. In our nation’s capital, in one of the richest countries in the world, we continue to lose people every year to the winter by denying housing for all in favour of more costly/cruel approaches.
