After almost three decades, Canada has lost its measles elimination status.
That means in 2025, this extremely contagious disease spread consistently in our country for the first time since 1998.
This was preventable, which makes it embarrassing -- in more ways than you might realize:

“A lot of people worked for a long time to achieve measles elimination status, and to lose it in one year because of a failure of government action … for a disease that’s totally preventable, it just makes me sad.”

We still need to fight like we have a chance to stop this because we literally had eight Dems vote and if even one votes no it doesn’t go through on the next vote
What I mean is there is another vote that takes 60 votes before this passes the Senate. And we only need one d or one r to flip

A fantastic overview of all that’s wrong with Carney’s vision - or at least what we know of it so far. I’d like to think he’s got a plan for introducing more progressive policies at some point but I’m quickly losing hope. His values don’t seem to mean much.
So here's the favour I want to ask: if this post crosses your feed, please take this chance to support the Gitxsan and Gitanyow by watching our latest HGA and passing it on.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
