6 Canadians — including a First Nations woman — have been detained by Israel after their aid ship was intercepted in international waters while carrying medical supplies to Gaza.

Canada must demand their immediate release.

There are older pp supporters too. I’ve met some. They are completely crazy. Willfully ignorant. Fear based nonsense is what they believe.

I am somewhat surprised/relieved that some USA lawmakers are arresting these pedophiles - instead of protecting them as witnessed in the current USA administration.

It’s just the current vaccines that become available too late. I have been getting a spring booster for years as well. I think it’s the same as the previous fall vaccine.

I have a pharmacy around the corner that takes walk/ins. Not Shoppers or Cridge. But yes, I just cancelled Thanksgiving with family because I can’t get my flu/covid boosters till next week. We should have these the end of September!

Thanks Elections Canada. Too bad the fine is steeper. These billionaires who don’t want to pay taxes always scream ridiculous rants like ‘communism’. Self serving. This is the result of unfettered capitalism.

Thanks so much for this. Beautiful work. And I’m one of those visual arts students from the ‘80’s who was not taught about Morrison’s contributions. Colonial agenda is so infiltrated. I hope that has changed in the last few decades.

When writing an article about road widening, you should ask why rapid transit wasn't chosen instead.

Why is the BC govt spending $5B to add one more lane when they could use that space to construct a commuter rail line?

Congrats to the BC NDP for embarrassing and owning the Conservatives, in a successful motion vote against the Conservatives' spring session at Parliament hosting extremist group ARPA. The Con MLAs tried to dismiss human rights - so many things more important than that!

Poilievre's narrative isn't always 100% truth and in this video I look at the claim that over $400 Billion in CAPITAL investment is leaving Canada for the USA due to Carney.

It will help you to combat misinformation from PP's minions.

Pauline Johnson was one of Canada's most beloved poets.
Her poems focused on her duel English-Mohawk heritage, which were reflected in her stage shows.
Celebrated for her work, she remains an important literary figure in our history.
This is her story.
