On the anniversary of the FLQ October Crisis no less.

Talk about rewarding terrorists.

I’m just glad it went to someone standing up for democracy instead of tearing it apart!

I feel like a dog’s breakfast. 🤮
I sincerely hope I feel at least well enough tomorrow to eke through my 8hr shift as each hour lost is over $22 I can’t afford to lose even a penny of.

Get vaxxed folks.

We’re in an affordability crisis and Cooper is trying to find out if Carney met with Brookfield people in DC, another MP is lying about consumption sites, another is trying to strip birthright citizenship, and Poilievre is just lying about everything.

Fact checking the CPC and Poilievre is a full time job.

The fact that none of our news organizations do this is ridiculous.

There should be a ticker on every session of the HoC live that fact checks claims made.

The truth isn’t partisan. It’s the truth. Start telling it.

If you watch the video he asks about approving “supervised consumption sites” not fentanyl.
Supervised sites are there to detect fentanyl and/or intervene in accidental consumption. Not allow it to be consumed.

Montreal Mike🇨🇦 @mikemontreal.bsky.social · 11h

There’s no such thing as a “fentanyl consumption site” — no one is intentionally consuming fentanyl given the tiny amount it takes to kill.

How people can lie brazenly about these things legally is beyond me.

Stopping this conflict and continuing to allow settlers to kill and steal land and Israel to control their power etc is NOT peace.

Montreal Mike🇨🇦 @mikemontreal.bsky.social · 13h

I’ll believe this peace has teeth if and only if I see all the hostages and prisoners exchanged and the shooting stays stopped after that AND THEY STOP SETTLERS FROM STEALING THE LAND.

Maybe I’m cranky because I am sick right now but if they think I’m going leave myself vulnerable to illness that’s going to cost me hundreds of dollars of income as a low income individual—- no.

I believe it’s my fundamental human right to access the vaccine and it is a violation to create a barrier due to physical characteristics and financial status. It’s my RIGHT to have the vaccines.

First of all as someone with pre-existing health conditions and issues from having COVID I should be eligible.

Secondly, there should be ZERO barriers much less financial to anyone seeking preventative vaccines.

You think anti-vaxxers are loud?
We need to be louder.
