Cancelled due to HCW shortages... TWICE... But the Premier thinks everything is fine.

She's getting very bad advice from consultants who don't work on the frontlines or in HC at all...

So as an update from this I did hear back from 4/4 MPs that I contacted. I believe there is concern, but that there needs to be public pressure given *waves at US-Canada tensions*. But I believe that contacting your MP is a good way to do this. Tools to do so in the thread below. ⬇️
There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Apparently police are protecting Nazi saluting demonstrators disguised as "Canada first" in #YYZ?

Soo.. when neo-liberalism fails us as well, and ushers in a Canadian trump. Who will the cops be protecting, you think?

We're living in an era of market failure and housing is no exception. Handing billions to private developers won’t fix things: we need public housing built at scale.

Corporate interests in the west do not equate to profits or even better living standards to surrounding areas and citizens.
It's geared towards extracting and hoarding wealth at the top.

Usually American pockets.

Sweet summer child. This is neoliberalism and austerity. What in the world, makes you think our country cares about substantive foreign policy beyond trade maxing.

Similar to America. The UCP and their bootlicking sycophants are destroying any chance of keeping up with the rest of the modern world.

People won't care until they are personally affected and unfortunately, those people affected the most.. don't have a voice.

One season I was clearing snow in a track loader in a public parking lot, late into the evening in Belmont.
A ground of CHILDREN decided to take their trucks and do donuts around my machine as I was working.

The working class are less than shit to this country and its people.
