WHAT are key 🔑 factors that TRIGGER a 🇨🇦Royal Commission?! (Hi 👋#legal experts)

Surely the BROAD LETHAL IMPACTS on #health & #disability from #covid19 & #LC
EXCEED the (narrower) impact of Krever tainted blood scandal (ended Red Cross role in blood collection)

How does a 🇨🇦 Royal Commission like the Krever Inquiry into Tainted Blood..

Compare to 🇺🇸#US Class-Action #lawsuits like Big #Tobacco lying about #lung #cancer?

Will #Canada do RoyalCom into #LongCovid due to #publichealth FAIL to promote uptake #masks & #covid19 #vax

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

ICYMI public reporting of #healthcare performance AT A MEANINGFUL "COMMUNITY LEVEL" (not gross prov aggregates & averages) -> a key responsibility of @GovCanHealth! WTF happened?! Why can't I compare peer #Health Regions across #Canada in impartial fed govt report? #cdnpoli #publichealth #CIHI?!🤡

Chris Robinson @artecon.bsky.social · 15d

MacLeans Magazine 🍁 used to do an issue devoted to ranking #healthcare #performance at the community level eg 2013

NOW it has devolved into a biased tabloid, shilling for #privatization eg Jul'25 DrDay aka DrProfit$

What happened?!
Where's IMPARTIAL public reporting?

Remember lying Trudeau promising to make vaccines in Canada by November 2020? He was only five years wrong.

Moderna to roll out first made-in-Canada COVID-19 vaccines this fall

Good thing US officials have a handle on protecting people’s human rights and guaranteeing their safety after ICE kidnaps them… sike! At least 11 US officials were removed and arrested for trying to guarantee ICE victim’s safety and welfare.

My dad the tank commander once said: " you don't win a war..until you occupy it w boots on the ground".

Expect 🇺🇸 boots on 🇨🇦 ground within 2yrs.
UNLESS you ACT NOW to prepare to protect 49th parallel.

CAN'T WIN in SR vs 🇺🇸army, but prepare 4 LR resistance. Also #electionreform !

King Charles = head of state 🇨🇦. IMO El Ducce #Trump is like that Pinched mustache #fascist who rode into #Paris in WWII. Nothing less. Ego. It's about owning the land, not the economy. #51state

A lot of people are laughing at the president declaring Antifa a terrorist organization without considering how that empowers anyone protesting fascism to be dealt with and tried as members of terrorist organized crime.

Jimmy Kimmel's sudden suspension escalates what @inaeoh.bsky.social warned was a dramatic shift in Trump's ability to take down our actual culture.

"The TV, art, movies, music that, no matter how much Trump had complained in his first term, remained protected and free-willed."

Colbert's cancellation is a dark warning

CBS's decision marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large.

Don’t let them tell you Jimmy Kimmel’s show was yanked because of his comments about the Charlie Kirk assassination. Two months ago, after Colbert’s show was cancelled, Trump posted: “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.” The Kirk thing is just a pretext. This is all part of their plan.
