Democracy flourishes when public healthcare and education thrive. People who trust in the protection of human rights are free to build a great economy. An honest, vigilant, and courageous media is the bedrock. Dogs, especially whippets, rule.

And again, I'm one of the people who think betting hard on oil right now is a bad idea. I've written *many* columns on that.

It's not what the Carney is doing. He's doing the opposite: implementing policies (industrial carbon price, tax credits, interties) that accelerate electrification.

Danielle Smith is rushing her two-tier healthcare legislation through today and tomorrow—allowing just one hour of debate on the biggest change to healthcare in a generation.

It paves the way for a fast lane for the wealthy and erodes the public system we all rely on.

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

Better headline:
Conservatives table deliberatively misleading motion. www.cp24.com/news/canada/...
Carney government to vote against Conservative motion on pipeline support
The Liberal government will vote against a Conservative motion on Tuesday that calls for the federal government to support a bitumen pipeline, a senior government source tells CTV News.

The conservatives never want to actually help anyone. They would much rather cause harm. Just like what PP is trying to do, by trying to force a vote on an Alberta pipeline that has no proponents. Cause division, harm the libs, which in turn harms Canadians. Which makes us more vulnerable to the US

The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.

It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud.

In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.

What a confession.

Don't fall for the manipulative "censorship" framing of EU's fines against X for DSA violations. The EU is trying to enforce their laws. X is breaking them. And the U.S. government is defending big tech, billionaries, & bullshitters rather than protecting users. www.linkedin.com/posts/daphne...
Don't let anyone tell you that the Commission's DSA enforcement against X is about speech or censorship. https://lnkd.in/g3Cyeeyk That would, indeed, be interesting! But this is just the EU… ...

The Ford government is just malevolently stupid. Making up a rule that only medical students who went to high school in Ontario get priority placements is just so relentlessly dumb and drives away the future doctors we need.

How does a country get to a place where it can commit literal war crimes, and the only thing that happens is a political panel on CNN discusses it for 12 minutes?

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

Until the Federal Gov't legislates controls on Transfer Payments, Provincial Leaders will continue to "interpret" the Healthcare Act in a way that best serves Them, not the people
