The UCP argues recall is being weaponized against policy, not misconduct.
By that logic, the Gondek recall was also weaponized, as it was explicitly against her policies.
The UCP's reaction to the weaponized recall on Gondek?
To make recall easier.

Everyone’s watching Quebec’s doctor revolt. For good reason.
The real story is in Alberta.
Both governments are testing how far political power can reach into medicine.

For the past 12 decades, Toronto's Santa Claus Parade has been a fixture of the Christmas season.
What began with Santa walking from Union Station to Eaton's in 1904, is now the oldest Santa Claus Parade in the world.
Let's learn more about it :)

Important read if you value your own and your family’s health.
As Premiers across Canada continue their efforts to break public healthcare - looking at you #ABleg, #ONleg, #QCleg - all Canadians, regardless of political stripe, should realize this truth. Building profit into healthcare doesn't "fix" it, it just gives the wealthy another way to make money.
New report from @policyalternatives.ca and @iris-recherche.bsky.social shows a clear link between greater privatization in health care services and higher mortality rates—just as multiple Canadian provinces work actively to privatize those services www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

The genocide is still ongoing and in a far more horrific way than before.
In genocide, thoughts devour people.
Whoever doesn’t die from the bombing, the fire, the cold, the hunger, the humiliation of the tent, or illness… will be eaten alive by their own thoughts and die.
