All education, but especially post-secondary education - has been so shittily funded across Canada that it's amazing we still have a system running.
Don’t be fooled by Ford’s college and university funding announcement.
He’s just continuing to download more costs and debt on to students for the most grossly underfunded system in Canada.

Actually - they were so ahead of their time they started BEFORE they were officially a Province.
MartyUpNorth says Alberta has been fighting for separation since 1905.
Which is interesting because Alberta officially became a province on Sept. 1, 1905.
So according to him, Alberta has been trying to separate since it's inception. 🤦♀️

This is outrageous. School photo giant Lifetouch is owned by Apollo Global Management co-founded by Leon Black, a major Epstein backer. Now we learn Apollo’s CEO, Marc Rowan, also had Epstein ties.

Mark Carney just picked his lane on climate change
For all the recent talk about pipelines, it's clear that Mark Carney's economic strategy revolves around turning Canada into one of the world's leading electro-states.

This legislation is a huge overstep. Parliamentary review should be required for any exemptions - "will of the People".
Conservative MP Kelly Block questioned the point of having legislation in place if ministers can bypass it. She said the plan is "at best ambiguous" and that exemptions would allow ministers to "pick winners and losers." www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/12/n...

I owe an apology to my fellow PoC who were shouting from the rooftops about Palestine for several years before the Epstein Files were released.
I thought they were being extreme with their views about Palestine. Turns out I wasn’t being extreme enough at the time.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
