Like was he even vetted before being nominated? Were any of these people in his cabinet? It’s crazy to think someone like F47 could ever in any comprehendible world be the President of the US or any G country for that matter.
I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Right now the Liberals are investing in the companies that mine/make renewables related products.
Installing renewables now would mean spending $ in China or the USA etc.
Literally the opposite of what we need to do.
Why not major projects in solar, wind, and other renewables?
Oil and gas is SO last century. If we don't want this century to be humanity's last, we'd better get a wiggle on.

“Canada should be a dirt cheap place to eat, to house yourself and to live your life. Why…because we have the most dirt. We have the most dirt with which to build homes…we have the most dirt to dig up our resources and we have the most dirt on which to grow food.”

Kevin O’Leary just keeps showing us who he is.
Makes you wonder if Canadian Traitor, MAGA ass kisser, impaired boater, O'Leary is on the Epstein list! #cdnpoli
O’Leary: All the people who were really hurt by this were caught lying including a member of the Royal Family.
Navarro: The people who were really hurt were the women.

Even in Northern Ontario, buses are being built. Someday they may have the new technology that may run in cold temps and long distances in the north.
Luckily Canada does build our own buses.
These companies make city/urban buses.
New Flyer offers battery, hydrogen, hybrids, diesel & natural gas.
Nova Bus offers battery, diesel & natural gas.
Letenda offers an interesting battery bus.
Chinese buses, likely cars too, can be remotely controlled, just like the F35s.
Do we really want China or the USA controlling any vehicles in Canada?
I am going to go with a solid NO!

My office just uncovered that, buried in their Fall Economic Statement, Ford’s Conservatives are quietly seizing control of Exhibition Place.

Food for thought: My cancer treatments cost me $0.00, squat, nada, not one penny. If I had been in the Divided States, I’d be homeless & bankrupt as the cost of my treatments have exceeded $300,000 to date, all covered by the government. Oh, and my taxes? Squat, pennies. Socialism? I love it!

I like this take. Vaccination as a human right. Why should children suffer because their parents are misinformed/misguided?
Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right.

In @statnews.com today, Stefan Peterson and I write about using a human rights-based approach to deal with vaccine denialism and the return of measles, whooping cough and diphtheria

Kids have a right to vaccinations. Let's bring in the lawyers
Children suffering from diseases that should have been consigned to history is a moral failure. Access to vaccines is a human right.
