A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead.

There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere.

This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying

The US is no longer a beacon of light for immigrants or for democracy. It's pure hypocrisy for Vance and his ilk to say Europe is in decline.

This is not a drill. The Trump doctrine has been boldly stated:
Reduce Canada to a vassal state.
Crush Ukraine.
Undermine Europe by promoting racist hate parties.
Serve Putin.
The plan has been clear as day all along now it is being stated openly.
We must resist.

This is such a vital point - #COVIDisAirborne no matter how hard people in power work to get everybody to ignore that fact
Firstly, there is no mention of how public health officials ignored, denied and aggressively obstructed meaningful discussion and dissemination of the fact that COVID is predominantly spread by the airborne route.
