PM Carney: no taxpayer subsidies for American billionaires!
Donald Trump’s billionaire donors are pushing a new gas terminal on the coast of British Columbia. It would be 100% American owned – and built in Korea. BUT THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR IT.

Elon Musk had the nerve to wear a t-shirt asking “What Would Orwell Think?” Like many fascists, he assumes his audience haven’t actually read Orwell.

NEW: Walkable cities linked to health benefits, study finds.
“A new study found when people moved from less walkable U.S. cities to more walkable ones, they increased their levels of physical activity and saw health benefits.”
Add this to many similar global studies.

As authoritarianism rises globally, Canada still hands majority power to parties with just 30–40% of the vote.
We can’t keep risking our democracy like this.

We know masks prevent Covid & other respiratory infections
We know hospital acquired covid has a 10% mortality rate
We know patients are scared or postponing medical care because they can’t risk Covid
We know many HCWs are burned out & suffering Long Covid
So why aren’t we masking in healthcare?

Healthcare facilities should set the tone when it comes to masking. They should help patients protect themselves from Covid and other threats. Instead they push droplet dogma and put lives at risk.
