October is Facial Pain Awareness Month. I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) in 2012 & had brain surgery in 2015. In 2021 I tried again & ended up with Anesthesia Dolorosa (AD). Never have I so bitterly regretted the decision to have that surgery.
Barriers to access: New Canada #Disability Benefit will leave many people with disabilities behind. At only $2,400 a year, and requiring much paperwork, the #CDB has frustrated many, by Indra Egan www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art... via @theglobeandmail.com
WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand just how lazy, moronic & dishonest Trump’s “math” is, that he claims is the basis for his “reciprocal tariffs” on nations all over the world (spoiler: they aren’t reciprocal), please watch this excellent CBC explanation by Andrew Chang.
Then please share it.
Awesome.
Danielle Smith is a traitor. Hopefully CSIS is investigating her. Who knows what promises she made while visiting Mar-A-Lago?
X post by Mark Chadbourn (@chadbourn .bsky.social), featuring a "Follow" button. The text of the post reads, "Canada giving Marco Rubio the tiniest red carpet they could find in a thrift shop somewhere." The attached image shows a small red carpet laid out on a wet tarmac in front of an airplane, where two individuals in dark coats stand welcoming two men descending the stairs. The scene appears to be a satirical take on an official welcome, with the red carpet humorously described as minimal and second-hand. The background includes a truck and some trees, suggesting a cold or wintery environment.
Little Marco gets little respect, even from the nicest countries.
She's downright hostile.
It's time for the world to wake up.
The USA is no longer a friend to any country other than Russia. Cut them off from everything.
Honestly fuck the USA.
Your vote does matter.
It sends a message.
Win or lose you’ve shown that you care.
Sometimes, that’s the best we can do.
Please vote.

Your vote does matter. Just 22 votes tipped the scale to an NDP majority in BC's fall election. That's it. 22 votes. Think about that.
Let the irony of smiling, fist pumping auto workers standing behind Ford holding 'Protect Workers' signs while he takes nurses and teachers to court be lost on no one.

If you're getting ready to use the excuse that 'they all do the same thing' to not vote...look south.
People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all of your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.
And now there's this.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, lol.
I think it's why he called the election so early. To build a tough guy narrative, standing up to Trump. He's betting that if he wins, Ontarians will vote Lib rather than have a US type situation. PP loses, Doug swoops in to CPC leadership race.
Maybe? I have a theory that Doug is banking on PP losing the election and being removed as leader.
Remember, he ditched his Toronto mayoral candidacy to run for PC leader. Maybe he's angling for Pierre's job?
Hypothetically, would an Ontario PC premier have to step down to make a bid for the CPC leadership?

"81,000 people in Ontario were homeless last year, a number that's up 25 per cent over two years"
And this will only get worse under Doug Ford.....why you ask? Because he does not care.👇
Shame on London, On City Council. London's homeless population need and deserve your care and attention. Fund warming spaces now.

The National abortion ban introduced in America 🇺🇸 does not make exceptions for medically necessary removals. Which means women just die. This fight is coming to Canada 🍁 and it starts with the election in Ontario, pay attention.
All the folks who use the line 'they all do the same thing' to justify not voting need only look to this to see how dangerously wrong that statement is. Regardless of which side one falls on this critically important issue it can't be more clear how false it is.

As we’ve seen, I wasn’t.
If anything, we’re all still underestimating what Trump will do relative to the sovereignty of other nations, including Canada.
But here’s my main point today.
We also have to stop underestimating what Pierre Poilievre will do if we give him power.
And Smith, Moe & Ford.
