Hello! I am a friendly, progressive, secular Canadian. 😀👋✌️
My focus is Canadian/US politics, but humour and animal related posts are a welcome balance.
I'm an avid reader, a fan of black & white movies, and a music lover. It's always a pleasure to meet like-minded folks!

Sweden’s experience with midwives providing abortion care offers lessons for other countries. Swedism midwives have long led care for healthy women during pregnancy and birth, with doctors supporting when complications arise. Applying the same model to abortion care is both logical and effective.

Trump exploits all crises (generally of his making), when Republicans kill and/or commit crimes he/his sycophants exploit it to CAUSE DIVISION blaming victims, punishing AMERICANS who weren't involved or were merely exercising their rights! Screaming Antifa was always a ploy to make dissent illegal!

Should you get snatched out of your home on April 21st because you didn’t file your taxes on time? The government is focused on immigrants now but if you set the precedent that people should get kidnapped over paperwork there’s a whole lot of people who can get taken next
