This is big.

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Ira

Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to strike Iran.

Both countries have major financial ties to Trump & his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth. Period.

Doesn’t anyone care about elementary school kids waiting for the bus in the dark? Sunrise at 9 or 9:30 am in December is wrong and dangerous.

Surgeon General Nominee Sidesteps Questions on Vaccines at Senate Hearing

This a quack. A wellness woo grifter.

She has ZERO scientific credibility.

Like so many MAHA influencers, she mixes very obvious health advice (stuff we’ve all been pushing for decades) with pseudoscience & fearmongering BS.

Sum: horrifying.

If a pipeline made solid business sense, private investors would back it.

As MOU talks continue, Alberta and Ottawa should stick to their commitment: no public money for a new pipeline.

Taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook.

Prior abortion or miscarriage not linked to increased risk of pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer A prior abortion or miscarriage was not linked with an increased risk of developing pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer in a study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica.

A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.

National Cancer Institute studying ivermectin’s ‘ability to kill cancer cells,’ alarming career scientists The National Cancer Institute is studying ivermectin as a potential cancer treatment, according to its top official, alarming career scientists.

A year ago, we were on the cusp of turning many cancers into chronic rather than terminal diseases through immunotherapy and mRNA vaccines. Today, we're working through the curative qualities of a magical horse paste instead.

What Happens When Midwives Lead Abortion Care: Lessons from Sweden | International Confederation of Midwives In Sweden, abortion is recognised as essential healthcare—built on decades of research and early innovation.

Sweden’s experience with midwives providing abortion care offers lessons for other countries. Swedism midwives have long led care for healthy women during pregnancy and birth, with doctors supporting when complications arise. Applying the same model to abortion care is both logical and effective.

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar.

Why? This chart has the answer.

Canada’s auto industry has adapted, pivoted, and when necessary, transformed. That’s what we must do now — to build good careers, greater prosperity, and a stronger, more independent Canadian economy.
