No Australian coal billionaire left behind.
A wealthy Petro-state in permanent austerity mode can't find a hospital bed for an 11 year old's scheduled chemo treatment.
It's understandable that #oilers fans are worried about a slow start, but the #flamrs are 2-8-2 (.250). There is serious talk about blowing up this team and starting over.
I thought they would have some momentum from the last game.

This apology was deeply meaningful to hear today. Remembering my Great Uncles, Pete and Henry Warrior of the Piikani Nation, who served in WWII.

Thank you to all Indigenous Veterans who have served and continue to serve our country. #IndigenousVeterans #Apology #Thankful 🧡🙏🏽 via @CBCIndigenous
If a minority govt tried to use the #nwc would it become a confidence matter?

Bill Gates getting rebutted by actual scientists. ✅
This is terrifying for the UK.
Our latest Westminster voting intention (26-27 Oct) has Labour on their lowest figure ever recorded by YouGov, with the Greens on their highest

Labour: 17% (-3)
Conservatives: 17% (=)
Greens: 16% (+1)
Lib Dems: 15% (=)
SNP: 3% (-1)

looking forward to months and months of the interminable 150-square Rubik’s cube assembling that are Dutch coalition negotiations
After almost all votes are counted, D66 and PVV have equal number of seats — D66 is still biggest party with ca 2,000 more votes.

VVD and CDA both lost a seat compared to the exit poll, while FvD and CU won one.

I am so fucking done with this fucking province. My exhales are all laced with that C-word that is verboten in Canada but functions as a comma in Scotland.
I would listen to Martin Sheen talk about almost anything.
$600m isn't a lot of money in the federal context
Colour us cynical, but this almost feels like a way to deflect/diffuse criticism ahead of the anticipated deep austerity to come next Tuesday #cdnpoli
The Carney government has announced they are funding $660 million as a way to promote equality and to reduce the violence against women and gender diverse Canadians.
