Oh wow hi new followers, welcome along on this long, strange trip we call life.
I'm Revontulet, I'm an Aquarius, I immigrated to Canada nearly 15 years ago from the US, I like photography, cooking, house/bass music, stories about your cats, & playing Diablo 4. I'm learning to DJ & make bad mashups.

I would like to see Conservative y-o-y spending by category compared to prior years under the Liberals.
And then I want to see where the healthcare dollars are going. For-profit agency nurses? Check. Private clinics? Check. Developers? No doubt. Where else? Show us.

Ontario's finance minister says health-care spending is unsustainable. Ontario spends the least per person on Healthcare out of all of the provinces and the projected spending over the next 3 years is to be the lowest in over 30 years. #ontario #onpoli #dougford #ontarionurse #frankdomenic🍁

Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

If you're a journalist who covers law enforcement, don't let their claims about slick and effective technology go unchallenged.
Behind police tech's slick marketing is a sprawling, under-scrutinized industry that relies on manufacturing the appearance of effectiveness, not measuring it. EFF partnered with CJJ and IPVM on a new report to help you see through the spin: www.eff.org/document/se...
