As a society, we can easily provide for everyone.
The top 1% and those in power are choosing not to.
They want you to believe people must “earn” their right to housing, food, healthcare & education.
No one should have to “earn” those things.
They’re basic human rights.

An economy dominated by billionaires and corrupt, powerful politicians is not the same as a free market economy.

This is your regular reminder that catastrophic illness and disability is often financially devastating.
It’s not a moral failing.
It can happen to anyone at anytime.
Too many people don’t care about healthcare access because they’re sure it’ll “never happen to them”

It is not easy being COVID cautious. It's crap not joining in social events. It isn't enjoyable being the only person masking. It is tough keeping quiet when being patronised by people with zero knowledge. It is all EXHAUSTING. Solidarity to everyone prepared to listen to science & put others first

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming.
Could these be the real culprits?
The evidence is in--and the answer is NO.

When people tell me Congress would stop Trump from actually trying to annex parts of Canada, I just point to, well, *every single thing that has happened so far*. Republicans are on board with everything. Democrats are resisting almost nothing.

Dear Europe,
Do you see how Canada is standing up to the rogue US? Do you get that appeasement will not work? Do you understand that we might be their first target but we won't be their last? Do you grasp that standing with us against this threat is also best for you?

Throughout the video Doug always mentions America first. Made in America. God bless America. Fortress Am Can. And even uses Trump's "Golden Age" trope.
Weird. It's almost as though Doug's maybe a little bit MAGA and not a lot Canadian.

Here’s the thing, American friends.
We know it’s Trump, Musk & Project 2025 that are attacking Canada economically right now, not the United States as a whole.
We get that.
So it’s not all of you, or your anthem, that we’re booing at hockey & basketball games.
We get he’s hurting you too.

Fascists need made-up enemies to distract you from what they, and their super-rich funders/bosses, are taking from you. They want you constantly mad, scared and distracted. And they love picking enemies that could help teach you to reason and see through through fascist lies.

Cancel culture for Canadian conservatives is cancelling health care, cancelling social programs, cancelling marriage equality, cancelling women's reproductive choice, cancelling environmental regulations. They only tear down, not build us up.

I know this isn’t new, but we can’t afford to stop realizing how batshit insane it is.
The United States President is actively insulting and economically strong-arming their closest ally to try to force a hostile take-over that will never happen, but will economically devastate both countries.

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

I think before people get too excited about Doug Ford’s new hat and apparent passion for national unity we should keep in mind he’s intentionally underfunding healthcare and education in Ontario and pretty much giving away a good chunk of prime Toronto waterfront to an Austrian company.
