It's easy to miss good work happening in Canada with *waves hand in a Southward direction*

But here's some good news: Manitoba is 1st to sign on to Canada's Pharmacare program. Comprehensive birth control, diabetes, and rare disease coverage starts THIS SUMMER.

Solid leadership by Wab & crew.

Musk’s status as a β€œspecial government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working dailyβ€”documented by his own X postsβ€”they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congressβ€”please share.

You have no idea how proud I am of my brother for standing up for our people against the orange Nazi and his gang of thieves

This is Jamil Jivani.
Jamil is a one of Pierre Poilievre's MPs - he replaced Erin O'Toole in Durham, ON in March of 2024.
Based on his own Instagram post from 2019, he is great friends with JD Vance (now VP to Trump).
Conservatives can not be trusted with our sovereignty.

Trudeau plans on stacking Senate before retiring: source | CBC News Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is planning a final wave of appointments to fill the 10 vacancies in the Senate before he retires in March, Radio-Canada has learned.

This headline employs a phrase that most people will interpret to mean the Prime Minister is doing something wrong or unfair. Neither the prorogation nor the fact that there's a Liberal leadership race means that the PM can't or shouldn't fill Senate vacancies. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Did you know that today is the anniversary of abortion being decriminalized in Canada? That only happened because a Holocaust survivor grew up to be a doctor and insisted on performing safe abortions even though it was illegal.

Just, you know.. somethin' to think about right now for no reason!

The list of people who exist, but whose existence is being denied or condemned continues to grow. It has been and continues to be our job as conscientious members of a society to see trans, nonbinary and queer people for who they are, affirm their existence and fight for their ongoing existence.

Man dressed in all black holding a sign that reads β€œdeport them all” while doing a Nazi salute on the side of the road

Three men join the first on the side of the road, all in black, each holding a sign that together read β€œdeport them all.” They’re all throwing up Nazi salutes

The three men are now? In the same position on the side of the road, holding three separate items. The first has a sign that reads β€œdeport them all,” the second has a red ensign flag (which has been adopted in canada by white supremacists as a symbol for a white canada), and the third is holding a glad with a Celtic cross (another adopted hate symbol used by white supremacists)

A bunch of losers went out and threw Nazi salutes in Alberta, Canada yesterday while holding racist signs.

Might be time for the media to stop calling them β€œhand gestures” and start reporting on this big fucking problem for what it is!

I can’t explain the lightness of feeling to finally be back in a liberal area. To see Pride flags on homes and businesses, to see signs on stores windows proclaiming them safe spaces, and ppl are truly kind. Knowing my child is in an area that respects and accepts them for who they are…❀️πŸ₯ΉπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆβ€οΈ
