This is the truth-what they failed to mention is that **provincial governments** are failing in these areas, not the feds.

Housing Crisis, Packed Hospitals and Food Lines: Even in Canada?

From Montreal to Vancouver, some residents are losing faith in a longstanding social safety net that is central to the country’s identity.

I'd certainly like to know what the U.S. military bigwigs plan to do if Trump keeps his promise, declares himself dictator on day one and starts ordering Homeland Security to grab people off the streets. Maybe the American press will ask them at some point.

A majority of the Supreme Court -- including the "justice" whose wife actively participated in the 2020 insurrection -- rewrote the 14th Amendment. They removed essentially all penalties for federal office holders who participate in attempts to overthrow elections.

Banana Republicans are consistently winning, and they see the finish line in November.

Jean-François Lisée is Liséeing again. So, now would be a good time to remind you that he once spent at least 18 hours on twitter arguing that the Shoah was an example of anti-white racism.

This event, alone, should, in a sane society, be disqualifying from ever offering an opinion in public ever again. But, given how "cancel" culture actually works, he has a regular gig on Radio Canada and at Le Devoir.

Fucking stupid bebe lala asshole.

Western journalist may not know this, but became HUGE in Taiwan during the Taiwanese elections and it’s the perfect example of how Threads managed to capture entire markets that Twitter failed to attract.

And today, my Threads timeline is full of Taiwanese threatening to switch to platforms where they can freely talk politics (they are currently looking at Taiwanese platforms like Miin and Plurk. I hope they take a look at the rest of the Fediverse as well).

New York Court of Appeals has shot down an appeal from against a issued in his civil fraud trial.

"On the Court's own motion, appeal dismissed, without costs, upon the ground that no substantial constitutional question is directly involved," the court wrote in a Tuesday ruling. "Motion for a stay dismissed as academic."

CNN has decided to promote a presidential candidate who, when he was president, tried to prevent his elected successor from taking office. It was an attempted coup d'etat.

CNN to democracy: Up yours.

Big Journalism is deliberately repeating the worst of its past performance. Let's stop pretending otherwise.
