Write & ask PM Carney to fund a National Citizens Assembly on Healthcare for these 3 core issues:

1) Jurisdiction
2) For Profit vs Non-Profit delivery
3) At Fault vs No-Fault harm in care compensation.

S Korea Nationalized healthcare and it paid off big time.

Alberta was building a public owned single SuperLab, there might be something to it.

No surprise a foreign for profit corporation is shutting down a satellite lab.

Premiers will wash their hands in a privately run health system.
Kickbacks, accountability?

Everyone in Canada should listen to Dr. Parks in this edition of The Breakdown.

They are speaking in the context of the unethical and underhanded Alberta govt decimation of health care, totally ignoring the Canada Health Act.

But some of these issues arise every time Cons get the purse strings.

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

Rosie Barton favours the Conservative Party too much to interrupt Scheer and correct him when he is wrong.

Get that tool that tried to conceal dual citizenship from Canadians off air. We don’t need a thieving liar on air anymore.

My belief is that there should not be a separation referendum, period. Because when the separatists lose, there will be cries of "rigged". Seems obvious that Trump will see this as an opportunity to "liberate" Alberta.

CBC put together a collection of contrasting clips from Carney's and Trump's speeches at the World Economic Forum.

@jptasker.bsky.social in case you missed it, Trump also said hours before slandering Carney for a China trade deal, that Canada should take a trade deal w/ China.

Trumps words are meaningless and so is trying to quote him for a point to help an ex-leader that was turfed for stealing from donors.

Canadians need a national Citizens Assembly on HC.

Petition e-4113 demanded strings & accountability.

“The deal requires provinces to spend 58 cents out of every new dollar on actual new health care programs—barely a majority—while leaving the remaining without requirements.” #cdnhealth

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.”

Canada, are we doing anything to protect or inoculate people from this esp in Alberta. Our Alberta Reddit was already infiltrated by Russian bots, & Separatists are actively invested with the same benefactors that gave us Cambridge Analytica. While Smith & PP keep the hot red coals of hate sparking.
"What if AI wasn't just hallucinating information, but thousands of AI chatbots were working together to give the guise of grassroots support where there was none? That's the future this paper imagines—Russian troll farms on steroids."

My 96 yr old widower father had insisted on continuing to live independently on his own with zero government assistance until today when he fell at home.

Now we are battling the broken Ontario healthcare system simply to have him duly assessed and placed in either palliative or longterm care.
