Apparently "someone" can just cancel people's flight reservations in the US and prevent them and others from boarding aircraft and leaving on their flight.

How is that legal? Where is the pushback on this?

Remember that Netanyahu is not just an indicted war criminal, but Israeli courts are looking to convict him on corruption.

He'll do anything to stay in power and avoid the trial, including continuing his mass murder spree against Palestine, Iran, Lebanon etc.

PREDICTION: Once Israel gets their people back,

but BEFORE they release the 1000s of Palestinians they are illegally holding and let food/aid in unencumbered,

Israel will LIE (like it always does) that Hamas broke some rule and then Israel will start murdering Palestinians again

Watch for it.

Hey @maritstilesndp.bsky.social

You gonna HAMMER Doug Ford about how he's bleeding our hospitals dry, or are you going to continue doing nothing and let Ford destroy our health care system for good?

Are you the Opposition Leader or aren't you?

DO. YOUR. JOB!!!

The hospitals are limping along with less and less funding, but their foundations are rich, rich, rich.

SickKids Foundation has over $1.2B in long term investments and capital assets, which it will leverage into profit once the hospital is private.

Microsoft updates their icons regularly but rarely improves upon needed functionality. It's stunning.

I once saw a presentation where someone showed the evolution of the icons over time.

It was clear that none of the Office apps had improved even 1/2 as much as the icons for those very apps.

Israel committing war crimes, murdering civilians AFTER a ceasefire has been agreed to.

THIS. IS. ISRAEL.
THIS. HAS. ALWAYS. BEEN. ISRAEL.

Israel is a criminal enterprise, masquerading as a nation.
Israel doesn't even officially recognize it's own borders.

Have you actually listened to him. He's used phrases like:

"decarbonized oil" and
"a Zionist Palestinian state"

both more than once.

He might be smart and articulate, but he certainly isn't a Liberal.

His proposed legislation is straight out of the RW playbook.

Carney's book Value(s) was clearly fiction. He's not lived up to anything he wrote about in the book, subtitled "Building a better world for all".
