Canada is home to world-class scientists and researchers. We have a unique opportunity to recruit top US talent amid their recent major research cuts.

What's our plan?

Here’s a thought, why not lift barriers against purchase of Chinese made electric cars and why not slap tariffs on our exports of gas and oil to US. Hit them where it WILL hurt.

Pierre Poilievre: Complains About Public Funding… While Living Off It

Pierre Poilievre loves to rant about the CBC getting public funding—but guess who’s been cashing taxpayer-funded paychecks his entire adult life? That’s right, Pierre himself.

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime.

This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

Predictably, the Russian reaction to the Ukrainian unconditional ceasefire offer is that Russia has a condition: that Ukraine concede its sovereignty to Russia. Now Russia will try to get the Americans to do for them things they cannot do for themselves.

Really appreciated this conversation with Matt Galloway of the CBC. We got to talk about tuberculosis, the implications of defunding USAID, and the future of the disease in a world where human health is not being prioritized.

Ontario is currently experiencing a measles outbreak, with the vast majority of cases occurring in unvaccinated individuals who were eligible to receive both doses of the vaccine.

The measles vaccine is safe, free, widely available, and very effective.

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.
