Did PM Carney mislead Elizabeth May to get her budget support?
In a minority government you can't afford to be losing cabinet ministers and alienating potential allies.

The Conservative "Multiverse" Attack on Canada
At a time when global instability is rising, you would think that it would be patently obvious that Canada’s longstanding tradition of international engagement matters more than ever.

Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.

#Obesity is a chronic, and complex disease requiring lifelong care.
People living with obesity, when medically advised, may use GLP-1 therapies.
The effect of these medications is enhanced when combined with physical activity, a healthy diet, and long-term follow ups.

Canadians who vote for Cons need to be bombarded with this type of information. Cons want privatization of healthcare.
My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.
I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.
And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.
