I'm no lawyer, but I cannot wait for the cringey truth bombs that will come out of the discovery sessions. 🍿

If Carney gives into this pay-to-play BS after all his speeches about "moving on," "middle powers uniting" and "nostalgia isn't a strategy," I will scream. To be clear, I won't be surprised, but I will scream.

I'm old enough to remember Doug Ford saying these things: “The party’s over with the taxpayers’ money" and “We will respect taxpayers and make sure every dollar is spent wisely.”

COVID-19 was still the largest driver of hospitalizations for vaccine-preventable respiratory diseases in 2024 www.cihi.ca/en/priority-... via @cihica.bsky.social

I literally can't with Doug Ford. I mean, I never could. But now, I CANNOT with Doug Ford.

Yeah yeah yeah, we know very well that PP would have been worse than Carney but that does not mean you stop critiquing those in power who are measurably causing harm.

Researchers warn of severe long-term damage to the brain after Covid following new study Scientists warn long Covid could be linked to lasting brain damage, including memory issues and increased risk of neurological decline.

Researchers warn of severe long-term damage to the brain after Covid following new study

January study of essential workers (with blood samples before & after COVID infection) found those with long-term neurological symptoms had higher phosphorylated tau—a protein linked to early brain degeneration

The loudest voices on this site on Covid are the most obnoxious and know the least about it from a social justice framework. They also refer to the pandemic in past tense

Find a person with different social, financial, familial, and health circumstances than you. Then read them this thread saying you enjoyed the early 2020s because it was so chill.

“…it was observed that the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias in the early post-COVID-19 period among non-hospitalized patients without prior CVD does not depend on COVID-19 severity.”

I wish they'd care, but they just don't. They're too invested in him as a person and leader. So they'll forgive and allow anything at this point and he knows it.

Trump: Groceries? Corner stores? Never heard of them. Funny words - Grocer-ies, Cor-ner Storesss. Huh. Who knew?

MAGA: He's a man of the people!

That's a lot of gymnastics for a Big Guy to do.

Just imagine the mental gymnastics his base has to do to rationalize this.

So transparently stupid it's laughable. Trump got a cool new plane, Doug wants one, too. Toronto's convenient downtown airport doesn't allow jets? No prob, the province will take it over and expand it. "For the people," right?

CBC News article. Headline: “Hospitalization rates for illnesses like COVID, flu have doubled since pre-pandemic, report finds.” By Lauren Pelley, April 16, 2026.

Seriously, Marilyn Gladu?
Who’s next, Maxime Bernier?
I guess numbers count for more than beliefs and values in Carney’s “Liberal” party

I grew up in her riding. Marilyn Gladu disgusts me and I would not want anything to do with her or the convoy clowns and bigots who were more than happy to vote for her.

I don't care if that gives you a majority: I would not want Marilyn Gladu in any party I was in, thanks

Was this a voicemail you left? Asking for an introverted friend. :)

"fOr ThE pEopLe." Meanwhile, hallway medicine will continue, the number of unhoused people will rise, protected land will be developed, stupid tunnels will be built and corruption will go uncovered because Mr. Transparency wants to kill FOI requests. 🤡

Hey leftists, it’s ok to discuss disagreements about strategy, but if you say people who take COVID precautions:

- are too scared to leave the house

- demand that everyone wear a mask 24/7

- are terrified of a just a "cold"

You are using far right anti-science talking points.

Even after Omicron emerged, "racialized populations continued to experience higher infection risk."
