Tentatively Optimistic

Protect public education in Ontario. I think there is hope?

Pierre Poilievre’s dominant win is the death knell of moderate conservatism in Canada https://t.co/zo0OFV4J0S

My fight with ALS has come to an end. Please don’t be sad. Life is beautiful.

Live hard. Love those around you and come together to #EndALS.

Poilievre said he would’ve cut taxes for people instead of giving them CERB during the start of the pandemic. Tell me? How do you cut taxes for people when they didn’t even have a job?

It’s their only solution to everything. It never worked before and it won’t work now.

Shots fired: "Pierre is a career politician who has been collecting a six-figure salary on the public’s dime since he was 24..."

Don’t fall for trickle-down nonsense. Making big corporations and the rich even richer through tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks doesn’t make the rest of us better off. It just makes big corporations and the rich even richer.

So to confirm, we have record numbers for covid deaths, and this is even after the definition of a “covid death” has been changed to appease the covid deniers. And we’re still sticking with the “let it rip” strategy? What a world. It’s wild how selfish it is.

Doug Ford gave nearly every Conservative MPP a pay bump along with more staff and resources. But he would rather risk another year of disruption than pay education workers that make $39k a cost of living increase. #priorities #FordGravyTrain #onpoli

RIP Red Tories of Canada. With Pierre Polievre as leader, @CPC_HQ is now firmly a party of the Freedom Convoy, anti-vaxxers, anti-women's right to choose, anti- anti- anti- ...

Freedom has become a code word for toxic individualism

People would rather I keep my vulnerable kid home from school FOREVER, instead of them keeping their INFECTED kid home for a FEW DAYS, until they test negative.

The selfishness witnessed through this pandemic is really something.

Approximately 300k people just voted for @PierrePoilievre. Sounds like a lot, but it’s 5.2% of conservative voters and 1.1% of eligible voters. Don’t forget this “landslide” is internal to the CPC, and the rest of Canada will have something to say about it in #elxn45. #cdnpoli

Three multibillionaires now own more wealth than the bottom half of America – 160 million Americans.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

So Pierre Poilievre is leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. A couple of thoughts:

Bringing in private companies for public surgeries in Ontario was the Ford government testing the waters with privatization. The apathy shown towards it will only further motivate them to continue with the destruction of our public health care system. #onpoli

Sri Lanka’s president fled the country without stepping down Wednesday, plunging a country already reeling from economic chaos into more political turmoil. https://t.co/CWXFJjZA9a

MAGA guy defaces own garage with "Biden 2020" and "BLM" and sets his own camper on fire—then files an insurance claim for $300K and got a GoFundMe for $17K.

I'm expecting a NYT story about how these folks feel victimized for not getting to be victims.

Yesterday, staff who were sick had no way of notifying the hospital thanks to @Rogers mass network outage. They just did not show up. Patients suffered tremendously. So did the few staff who were present.

Who else thinks it's time to end cellphone monopolies in Canada?

You know what’s more radical than abolishing the filibuster? Watching 50 years of abortion rights get eviscerated — and doing absolutely nothing to stop it.

[NurseOntario🍁 @NursesOntario]

Hospital clinics /ER /OR's continue to be closed due to staffing shortages. Let me be clear.. this has nothing to do with #COVID19 or vaccinations. This is about Doug Ford and the PC promise to end hallway healthcare. What they really meant was we will END HEALTHCARE.

Engineers raised the entire city of Chicago in the 1850s so they could install a sewage system in response to repeated epidemics of typhoid and cholera, but please tell me again how you don’t believe engineers can retrofit buildings with proper ventilation and filtration in 2022.
