Al Green gets thrown out for speaking truth to power. Speaker Johnson gloats self-righteously. After speech his Chief of staff arrested for a DUI. Johnson is one to talk about shameful behaviour, lack of respect & trust.

Sharing this 37 year old I told you. Fighting Conservative policies is always a battle of macroeconomics vs. micro, shopkeeper economics. Alas. short term promises tend to sway voters more than longitudinal plans measured in decades & outcomes that outlive their sponsors

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.
That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

The cold statistician in me wouldn’t bet money on Karina being able to win this race, or the first minister’s office.
The idealist in me wishes she could.
Today, Convicts win elections. Not Convictions. Particularly when held by smart, stubborn women.
But damn, imagine if…

Liberals win elections when we are true to liberal values. When we are bold and ambitious, and have a plan and a vision for this country.

One could accuse #Poilievre of plagiarizing 🇺🇸 politicians on purpose but I suspect it’s a reflection of his team’s poor work ethic, lack of creativity, and ignorance of history.
Will he also rely on ChatGPT to write his economic strategy?

1/ The blatant transphobia from Curtis Stone is stunning. It is cruelty for clout. His statement is not only completely unfounded but deeply harmful.

Yes, paying 🇺🇸 AI to design your new campaign graphics & slogan is soooo patriotic. Couldn’t find any real locals to photograph I guess.

Signed. Regardless how many beds we “create” we can’t fill them without staff. What kind of ppl will we find for the involuntary model? No one qualified to provide legit care. Just hammers eager to cause more harm & hurt to the pile of whys causing someone to rely on hard drugs in the 1st place.
Why force involuntary care when we don’t have enough beds for voluntary care? Please sign the refusal campaign if you work in health care: s56.ca #InvoluntaryCare #ForcedCare #DrugPolicy
