Two things to consider supporting and sharing:
-Our Commons Petition e-6818
-Bill C-239

Provinces are not doing a good enough job running healthcare and they seem to be listening to lobbyists more than citizens.

Four wards in Calgary haven't had election debates (Wards 2, 3, 12 and 13). The Sprawl has waited for others to organize debates in these wards. It hasn't happened. We're done waiting and are making a last-ditch effort to organize and livestream debates in these wards before Election Day. #yyccc

Thanks to The 19th for republishing this piece!
Cervical cancer could be eradicated. But not with Medicaid cuts and anti-vax politics.
The cancer has a known path of prevention, but that also means it falls at the intersection of cultural issues that are facing strong political opposition.

1. This is illegal as it makes enforcement of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 effectively impossible.

2. Congress appropriates more than $300M each year for enforcement because housing discrimination has one of the ugliest legacies in American history after slavery and Native American genocide.

The less density in a neighbourhood, the more Edmonton subsidizes you.

Capilano, then, is one of Edmonton's most-subsidized neighbourhoods. And it is strongly anti-density.

I guess it's human nature to fight to keep our subsidies, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Um, pardon me, sir...
You do know who orchestrated this, yea?
Hamas, has signed nothing. Trump merely said, they agree. Whereas I understand Israel did sign. They are not rebuilding Gaza for Palestinians, it's real estate development--for them.

He will say Hamas declined.
And then finish them off.

My statement on Middle East peace
A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: My Statement on Middle East Peace October 9, 2025 After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.
