I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

This is extremely concerning. Seriously, deeply concerning.
EXCLUSIVE: I FOIP'd all the contracts Alberta Health Services has signed with Shoppers Drug Mart since 2020.

They reveal the Loblaw subsidiary's deep integration into the province's mental health and addictions care system.

Sure is a lot of head scratching over why the message “You’re the main character of the universe and women exist solely for your pleasure” appeals to young men. Followed by “We need to come up with a more appealing message” and the point is there isn’t, and has never been, one.

I was on board Trudeau's plane when "Blackface" broke in 2021. We went live into our newscast from the plane. If there's major Carney news in 2025, we'll be there (and paying to be there). But we won't hear from Poilievre till hours later cuz he's keeping media off his plane. cdnpoli #elxn45
