This week, @fordnation defied the Canada Health Act by missing the deadline to offer a public option for seeing nurse practitioners and end private billing.
Have you been billed for medically necessary care?
Keep your receipts: @SylviaJonesMPP owes you a refund.

People, these data centers are removing valuable farmland around the country. This is not right we can't get it back once it's gone. these data centers are to create control mechanisms to track everything we do.

A woman drives past Meta’s new AI data center in Florida, showing massive stretches of farmland cleared for the project. The scale of land being wiped out is raising eyebrows.

We need to start jailing politicians who knowingly and flagrantly break the law. This culture of political impunity will be the end of our democracy.

As of yesterday, Ontario is out of compliance with the Canada Health Act because Doug Ford's government missed the federal deadline to fund nurse practitioners. Now Ontarians are being forced to pay out of pocket for primary care. 2.5 million people don't have a family doctor, and this Minister has no plan to fix it.

This is literally insane
So many people showed up to oppose a $6 billion dollar data center in Missouri they had to use bleachers
The whole crowd yells and chants they don’t want the data center
Festus City Council voted to approve the data center anyway right in their faces

Why doesn't the media talk about the peacekeepers killed by Israel in Lebanon?
Israel deliberately killed three UN Indonesian peacekeeper and wounded others in Lebanon.
Israel cannot continue to be treated as a full member of the UN.
Attacking UN peacekeepers is an abomination which was in the past perpetrated by terrorists, but never by members of the UN.
Some of you pretended to care what the UN had to say in 1948. Do you care that the UN of today has had more UN personnel killed in the last 2 years than in its history.
This is the moment we can salvage what remains of the UN and international law. I call on everyone to unite for the sake of our humanity and to end impunity for violating international law.

These data centers that we are building by the thousands require...
- hundreds of billions of dollars
- more energy than you can possibly imagine
- immense amounts of farmland
- infinite fresh ground water
AND THEY WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR LIFE IN ANY TANGIBLE WAY

It's just wild we live in a country where leaders of provinces can literally just abolish local governments if they wanted to.
People DEMOCRATICALLY elected those councillors to represent them, provincial government shouldn't be allowed to get rid of them whenever they want.

BRAKING: Ontario has tabled legislation to slash regional governments in Niagara and Simcoe County. Councils will be cut to only mayors and an appointed chair

True. Oligopolies have also been squeezing both sides of the pricing equations, at least in the US.
Canadian beef is fantastic. And it's environmentally friendly. We should be maximizing our herd size to address the supply side of the equation. There will always be a market for anything we don't consume ourselves

@jaymo1013 @blockchainchick Cattle herds remain at multi year lows. Lack of cattle means higher beef prices.

FIVE YEARS OF GROCERY RECEIPTS JUST EXPOSED THE MOST PROTECTED LIE IN ECONOMICS.
Since 2019, the government says cumulative inflation is about 25%.
Here is what actually happened to the things you buy every single week:
Eggs: +79%
Ground beef: +77%
Coffee: +68%
Car insurance: +55%
Electricity: +43%
Bacon: +26%
Bread: +24%
Five out of seven of those are running 2x to 3x faster than the official number. And the only two that tracked near CPI? Bacon and bread. The lowest-cost, lowest-margin items in the basket.
The things that actually drain a household budget, the protein, the energy, the insurance you are legally required to carry, those are the ones the official number keeps understating.
The CPI was retooled in the 1990s to reduce reported inflation. They added substitution adjustments. They changed how they weight housing. They smoothed out the things that spike. This is documented BLS methodology, not conspiracy.
Food overall is up 30% since end of 2019. Car insurance premiums up 54% since 2020. Electricity just hit all-time record prices. But the official line is 2.4% annual inflation and the Fed debates rate cuts.
Your grocery receipt is the only honest inflation report left.

Not true at all. What Postman argued was that we’ve replaced a culture of mass literacy with a culture of the screen, where everything is entertainment and the person who can grab the most attention will rule us. He warned that we would no longer have the capacity for deep reading or sustained reflection. Education and media would lower themselves to the level of the dumbest person. His words are truer now than they were then, and it all started with TV.
Henry Shevlin@dioscuri
When I was a kid, people said television was eroding society and corrupting the youth. Since then we’ve had the same story for videogames, smartphones, social media, and now AI. Not to deny these technologies have all *changed* society, but the apocalypticism never quite pans out

Before the Industrial Revolution, family members often worked side by side on the family farm and came home for lunch.
Craftsmen (printers, silversmiths, blacksmiths) worked in the home and its outbuildings.
Shops were often in the front room of a house, while the family lived in the back rooms or upstairs.
Professional men (like lawyers and ministers) often worked a home office while their children played at their feet.
Nancy Pearcey@NancyRPearcey
Working from home recreates the pre-industrial pattern where parents could engage in economically productive work while raising their children.

Pope Leo on an all-time heater:
- Jesus ignores warmongers' prayers
- ICE is an affront to God
- Imperialist occupation is a sin
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday

I think many Canadians have lost perspective on how much money $90Bn is.
In 2014 our entire federal deficit was $0.5B.
In 2026 it's $78B.
The Liberals have normalized massive over-spending and Canadians have accepted and rewarded it.

Would highly recommend you watch David Foster Wallace talking about boredom, and why some people now find it so hard to read.
Sorely wish he were around today to hear his views on TikTok and the like.

So let me get this straight.
Thomas Massie is the man who:
- fought to get the Epstein Files released
- spoke out against covid mandates
- has a near perfect voting record
- wants to decrease government spending
- supports small farmers
- pushes for single issue bills
Yet somehow these "Conservative influencers" think HE is the fraudster?
Thomas Massie has been consistent, and be is sticking to the mandate you all pretended to support up until last year.
Sounds like he is the most America First member of Congress if you ask me!

Mike Harris, who made private long term care legal in Ontario, was the chair of Chartwell for years, well into the pandemic.
The Canadian military was deployed to Chartwell LTCs to pick up and dispose of dead seniors who died of thirst, starvation and neglect.
Bev 🇨🇦@Garnet_2203
My mother-in-law is in hospital, unstable, struggling to breathe, not safe on her own. And someone walks in with a brochure for Chartwell Retirement Residences. Not a care plan. A sales pitch. In an Ontario hospital. This is the reality after years of underfunding by Doug Ford, families pushed to “find somewhere to go.”
