I knew I didn't imagine this clip, but it's been very difficult to find, so I'm not sure if he and his people removed it, but here it is.

During the campaign, Poilievre spoke of bringing soldiers to our streets. He isn't going full Trump now, he's always been full Trump.

This kind of law was enacted in BC. There was no change in judgements. Children continued to be forced to see abusive parents in unsafe situations against their will.
Our judges uphold patriarchal structures regardless of the letter of the law.

For those interested in the decision to remove the presumption that parental contact is in the best interests of a child, I wrote about the history of paternal rights and the development of the concept of a child’s best interests here:

The surgeons caring for your family in the most extreme crisis are the ones fighting to get paid for the cases that keep them up at night worrying about your loved ones.

Toronto Star article about rejected OHIP billings:
The worst part is that these bureaucratic hurdles often affect the most complex surgeries. The doctors caring for the sickest most complicated patients are the ones fighting to actually get paid. #ONpoli

Instead of ripping speed cameras (i.e. safer driving cameras) away from school children, maybe Doug Ford could concentrate on fixing a problem that prevented family doctors from seeing an additional 58,000 patients last year?

#OnPoli

Challenges with OHIP billing have become so widespread that the problem has become a top concern for physicians across the province, the OMA says, with delayed payments and rejected or unresolved claims affecting a range of doctors and surgical specialists.

The administrative burden of dealing with OHIP issues is now taking significant time away from direct patient care, the physician advocacy organization says. It estimates that time spent on unresolved billing claims prevented doctors from seeing an additional 58,000 patients in 2024.

Keep the No Kings momentum going today by supporting your neighbors as government fails in real time. There won't be a SNAP distribution in November. People won't be able to buy groceries.

So buy someone groceries. Stock your community fridge/shelf, or start one. And donate cash to a food bank.

Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

Camila @camilapress
FULL REPORT: Colombian public media reports that a U.S. military strike on a boat on September 15—the second attack on a vessel by the U.S. in the Caribbean that we're aware of—was a Colombian boat and was in Colombian territorial waters.
At least one of the three victims extrajudicially killed in the strike was Colombian lifelong fisherman Alejandro Carranza. Alejandro's identity is confirmed by his cousin.
The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.

No such thing as "parental rights."
Kids have rights.
Parents have obligations.

As a senior Canadian infantry officer responsible for leadership training, & also co-author of a leadership handbook for a Fortune 500 co, I state absolutely Poilievre isn't a "leader"-has no characteristics or principles of leadership & I wouldn't entrust him supervising soldiers picking up litter.

The Royal Ontario Museum has a one of a kind fossil, Torontoceros hypogaeus, the “horned Toronto deer from underground,”.
It is 11,000 years old and likely went extinct around the time of the last Ice Age.
