and I speak no evil;
I carry
no malice
within my breast;
yet quite without
wishing
a man to the Devil
one may be
permitted
to hope for the best.

U.S. MDs are welcome in Canada. Our Health Minister is a Nurse. During COVID she volunteered in longterm care. She's been Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities and Minister of Seniors. She's said "Vaccines save lives". She is no RFK. #cdnpoli
