After almost three decades, Canada has lost its measles elimination status.
That means in 2025, this extremely contagious disease spread consistently in our country for the first time since 1998.

According to Abigail Disney, Sean Duffy could cut 12% of air travel by grounding private planes. Commercial air travel would be fine. Let that sink in.

The city pays the doctors a fixed-annual salary of approximately $280,000, plus benefits, a pension and paid vacation. Instead of running a private practice, doctors work out of a city-run clinic, with the municipality covering all overhead and administration.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
