Disturbingly, MP Iqra Khalid was reportedly verbally assaulted and physically shoved by officials who claimed they could touch her "as much as I want". This occurred despite the delegation having pre-approved visas and official parliamentary passports.

Already has been. Amazing to think that legit concerns about human rights in host countries like Brazil, Russia and Qatar are dwarfed by the U.S.

Canada/Ontario should segregate its schools: vaccinated and unvaccinated.
Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.
Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.
Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

At the very least, this is the kind of proposal that should be on an election platform and let the voters decide. It's too significant and drastic to unwind.
I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.
Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.
This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

Hilarious. Trump has easily committed two dozen impeachable offenses before this.
Democratic congressman says Trump’s moving forward without Congress is an impeachable offense:
This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Sigh. I hope Minister Guilbeaut and/or his successor amends the regs to rectify the distribution of funding in a more fair manner. And fast. Whether or not other sites have been similarly excluded doesn't change the fact that Indigenous voices are constantly marginalized. It's beyond tiresome.
