"Stop killing people" pretty much sums up my politics these days, whether we're talking genocide, covid, the environmental/healthcare/housing crisis, food insecurity, police brutality, lack of disability rights, attacks on LGBTQ+ folx, no access to reproductive medical care, etc etc etc. Just stop.

“But I wouldn’t describe our foreign policy as feminist foreign policy,” he said.
That's Carney saying we do not have a feminist foreign policy.
If you're doing a "Well, actually..." on me right now, you've been brain rotted by partisanship and you're engaging in bad faith debating.

No more feminist foreign policy, Carney says
Prime Minister, who made the comments at the G20 summit in Johannesburg, has placed less emphasis on feminist policies than the Trudeau government

Instead of protecting Canadians from scams, Mark Carney’s Liberals are planning to develop a framework for stablecoins after crypto billionaires spent big to buy one in the United States.
The government claims it will “benefit men and youth by improving prosperity and good governance.” 🫠

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.
