Yes, we fucking can.

We can afford Canada Post, we can afford universal healthcare and prescriptions, we can afford free tuition.

You're told we can't "afford it" because industry wants all the money you pay in tax going to them instead, and our politicians keep handing it over.

#Canadians can't afford to continue subsidizing this service for a privileged few.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.
"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.

"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Oligarchs are again giving out a gold star to the one willing to sacrifice others for their gains.
Tegnell awarded with a King's medal this month for "meritorious efforts as state epidemiologist in a difficult time."

His anti-mask & anti-lockdown approach led to Sweden experiencing ~5-10x more COVID deaths per million than neighboring Nordic countries

This seems important. Especially in a time when cost benefit analyses are being made wrt vaccinating to public. When the benefit is indisputably worth the cost, where else are tax dollars being allocated?

So the answer is yes.

Meaning NACI may be making decisions on COVID vaccines using inaccurate data.
They wouldn't be seriously underestimating the extent to which people's quality of life is affected by COVID infections and reinfections would they?

A recent @jama.com article states Long COVID is the "most common chronic health problem in children," affecting the 10-20% with past infection

They've asked us to accept this as normal

Yesterday, at 87, my dad & former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, stood for an hour by the road in his old riding.

As a Jewish elder, he stood against genocide embodying the values he has always championed. I am so proud to see him on the right side of history – as always. ❤️

What makes a good health leader? As soothing as "Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe" may sound, without action, it’s just another empty slogan. Canadians need someone who takes timely, decisive actions to truly protect us. Now, and when the next pandemic strikes.

This alone is enough to put @altcdc.altgov.info well above most public health institutions everywhere in the Western world.

If you can afford it, get some N95s and learn how to use them. Measles is here, COVID is here, and bird flu is coming.

If it can't get inside you, it can't make you sick.

PLEASE EMAIL THE LIBERAL PARTY and tell them not to let Andrew Weaver run (likely in Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke aka ESS). He endorsed the BC Cons in the BC election.

Just one line is enough - and put same in the subject line

*Thank you*
