Your screaming at the wrong people the administration of health care is entirely the mandate of the provinces the Feds merely hand over money not meant to cover all provincial requirements and the provinces with slight of hand make it disappear

This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.

It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

I’m beyond angry, too. Both their right wing bias and obsession with the US-Israel war doesn’t reflect the nuanced opinions of the majority of people I speak with. It’s absolutely infuriating to be misrepresented in this way.

Me too!πŸ₯Ί I think mostπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ people don’t want us to get involved at all & object toπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ planes usingπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ airbases.
I question why some newspapers & news outlets are allowed to continue? They project a distorted narrative, usually the viewpoint of a narrow group. Perhaps banning overseas ownership would work?πŸ€”

I’m livid with the mainstream press and their support of the US-Israel war -

It’s unrepresentative of UK citizens. It only represents the rich gung-ho Epstein class.

I’m more determined than ever to build the citizen journalism alternative.

Yup seeds similar to those of Kier Starmer who have yielded nothing in his capitulation to Trump’s insanity besides ridicule, then again PP is internally too angry and petulant to keep this up now into his fourth reset

A Marine Corps Veteran protested and said that Americans shouldn't have to die for Israel during a Senate committee meeting. He was beaten and dragged out by security then a Republican Senator broke his arm. While it was happening, not a single person tried to stop it.

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.

Condemn Canadian support for US/Israeli war on Iran Mark Carney has endorsed the US/Israeli war on Iran. Tell the Prime Minister to condemn this effort to balkanize Iran in service of US imperialism and genocidal Jewish supremacy.

Soooo disappointed with PM Carney. There is an email circulating to let him know: actionnetwork.org/letters/cond...

Statement by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East Canada’s position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world’s worst human rights records, and must ...

Not a single word about international lawβ€”these attacks are clearly, unambiguously illegal.
Not a single word about sovereigntyβ€”Carney’s supposed bedrock value, as claimed in Davos.
No concern about Iran being attacked by the US while pursuing diplomacyβ€”as Canada embarks on existential USMCA talks.

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.
