I spend all this time trying to figure out what the master plan is, and it always hits me: nothing. Just conspiracy brain worms all the way down. And the most smug self-righteousness as Kennedy and cronies destroy over a century of concerted scientific effort and hard work.

I just walked in to a pharmacy and got my Covid and flu shots.

As is my tradition, Awkwafina.

A country is not a business, nor should it be run like one. Public services shouldn’t be expected to turn a profit.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.

"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

The fact that the President of the United States is posting demands directed at pregnant women & mothers is a horrifying example of this element of fascism:

Of course, none of these men and women think they are caught up in the destruction of American science and public health. They are bringing all of us into the brave new world in which they are heroes and kings. We ignored them, disparaged them in 2020 and now they rule. 17/

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli
