Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

What the world calls β€œmental health and addiction policy” is mostly just the recycling of human pain.
Different year. Same suffering.

We asked for the Kamloops mayor's emails β€” all we got is political theatre | iNFOnews.ca While the province's information commissioner is yet to weigh in, council took the mayor to task for ignoring the requet.

There is little that can be done. There is no recall. Even a pecuniary conflict of interest would go through the courts.

Cities! Build housing! We order it but don't expect us to help you. Make them affordable for the vulnerable! But don't expect us to help you. Shameful.

Shouldn't the province apologize? They took the guns but gave them back. And obviously our mental-health system failed again.
