1. As a consultant analyst that generally presents to the C-suite of organisations, I am often asked to produce short, concise explanations of both biological and geopolitical risks. Regarding Covid-19, I use the same summary with both C-level clients and friends:

1/2 a billion dollars spent on private health facilities leaves 1/2 a billion dollars less to pay for public ones. The result? Ontarians wait longer for essential health services — or worse — are denied access to them altogether.

As Ontario pumps millions into private health care, public health will continue to suffer
Private facilities seem like a quick fix, but it leaves the public system with fewer health-care workers, which only further exacerbates public wait times for treatments. It’s a domino effect

Liberals - do not listen to any messaging that says "Liberals already have it in the bag so Liberal voters needn't bother voting".
Disregard that stuff, it is a voter suppression technique.
Tomorrow get out and vote come hell or high water. #cdnpoli

Research has found that privatisation of health services reduces quality of care.

@franbaum.bsky.social‬ and colleagues look at how the concept of "enshittification" applies to health services and their decline with privatisation

WATCH: The gloves are off! It’s been an under-reported scandal for quite a while that Pierre Poilievre refuses to apply for security clearance. It was a scandal EVEN BEFORE the most recent efforts to undermine Canada’s democracy, sovereignty and economy from Trump, Musk and the GOP.

Share this.

Good lord. “We have to post on X because that’s the platform with the greatest reach” no longer holds when a) continuing to do so amounts to complicity with a vector for anti-democratic extremism, b) its owner advocates the end of Canadian sovereignty, and c) a ready alternative exists.
@mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social is happy to keep the City of Ottawa on X. He voted that way- at a committee - today.
Ok, the Starlink deal is dead. Now, every Canadian government agency, every Canadian company, every Canadian journalist — every single Canadian — get off X. Leave it as the full-throated fascist scream it has become.

Here, America, is the *real* response to Trump’s address to Congress tonight you need to hear. Circulate it as widely as you can among friends, neighbours, workmates, members of your church. Circulate it especially among Trump voters, so that they can know the needless viciousness of what he’s done.

Campbells Soup is trying to pull a fast one.

Their soup hasn't been made in Canada since 2018, but they have printed a Maple Leaf on the label, representing it is.
The Maple Leaf is not an official Canada label.
This is a marketing ploy!

Beware!

The question is: How deep does the meddling by Elon Musk into Canadian politics actually go? Perhaps Pierre Poilievre can answer that for us.

Picked up a few things at Cedar's on Bank St. in Old Ottawa South. Everything is clearly marked where it is sourced from and Facebook posts are also very clear about how they're dealing with tariff threats and how their suppliers are also working through it. Shop local if you can.
