Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

As much as the USA administration has pissed us Canadians off…..

My heart goes out to all the families food insecure and fearful of illness.

You may be alone physically but not in our minds and hearts.

You must resign leadership. NOW! I have always tried to support you, despite some of your disappointing actions. This was the last straw.

Senate Democrats, call out your fellow Senate Democrats who are caving. Americans you represent demand that you call them out and confront them. They will be held accountable.

Well done BCTF!
Democracy depends on a well informed educated society.
If DS doesn’t want that well…….up hers….we do!
The B.C. Teachers Federation is donating $1 million to support the ATA!

The suppression of charter rights is a huge deal and should only ever be used as a last resort.

Shame the…

(Checks notes)

premier of Alberta doesn’t get that.

🥺 November and leading up to the 11th always makes me pensive and ready for a cry. 😢

In the Trump/Poilievre and co. era off fascist propaganda, we’re experiencing a total betrayal of our veterans sacrifice to the Canadian 🇨🇦 and American 🇺🇸 contribution to world freedom.

Heartbreaking 💔 😔

Another wonderful and inspiring piece by the great Charlie Angus #Canada.
A lovely grounding on our shared ideals of our country 🇨🇦
The settling of North America has some very dark moments. But Canada chose to rise above the intolerance to build a country based on diversity, equity, inclusion, democracy.
Canada is a nation but it also a choice that we make.
And we will defend that choice.

BC here.
Shoutout to the BC Lions who played their hearts out in freezing weather only to be thwarted by their own coaches that didn’t believe in them.
They went cautious when it should have been an all out assault.
Big hugs to Rourke and the boys.
Next year.

I'm in Florida, and the biggest story on the local news is the state attorney general trying to cancel a drag Christmas show. This is why people hate politicians and don't trust the media. Forty million Americans are staring down starvation, and this is what they're talking about? Come the fuck on.
