I just want to remind you that the US regime has cut a ton of food inspectors
Yes, they got rid of most of the people who made their food safe
So even if the tariffs and the 51st state crap doesn't make you stop buying US products, the fear of food poisoning should
Buy Canadian whenever possible

So Canadian Members of Parliament can't enter Palestine because Israel deemed them a "public safety threat"...
to... who?
Palestinians?
You think a Canadian diplomatic mission is there to "harm the safety" of Palestinians? Seriously, please elaborate, I'd love to learn how!

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

For the past eight years Jolene Van Alstine has suffered from a rare form of parathyroid disease, normocalcemic primary hyperparathryroidism (nPHPT). It causes extreme bone pain.

Sean Fraser’s murder bill will do very little to combat femicide, experts have told the government GBV it is systemic and structural and UBI, not a criminal code amendment would be effective. Instead they think they can scare already violent men with a different degree of charges?

Canada’s Parliament just gave Charlie Kirk a standing ovation.

You can oppose political violence without rewriting the legacy of a man who did a lot of harm to vulnerable and marginalized communities.

But Canada’s politicians, some media and many employers don’t seem to entirely understand that:
