Had mine both done yesterday, in the same arm. Had mild chills and aches in the night, but that’s normal in my case. I tell myself that that’s how I know it’s working 🤷‍♀️

It’s a very reasonable and necessary contract, IMO. This is very successful in Scandinavian countries where companies are expected to contribute to the country’s success

So when the PC's start cutting crap and doing crap like the other PC Premiers in Canada, you will regret it Newfoundland.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... - CBC analysis by Rob Antle credits the win to a combination of luck (“vote splits mostly went their way”), fearmongering over hydro, and a frankly mind blowing suite of promises. (New ferries! Tax cuts! MRIs! A pony!)

ANALYSIS | After big win, big challenges await N.L. premier-designate Tony Wakeham | CBC News

For the Progressive Conservatives, the 2025 election campaign was about the cost of living, health care, and crime. But mostly, it was about change.

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Women/kids feel seen by Carney.

More projections for rape/sexual assault victims.

Keeping these predators behind bars instead of conditional discharge serving time in community.

Carney vs Trump.

Trump busy pardoning rapists (for a campaign donation) who rape kids/women & end up back in jail.

PP and the 🇨🇦 Conservatives are really really successful at brainwashing a good number of Canadians

Because PP & the Conservatives work for the richest and for Big corporations. Always have, always will

Poilievre tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries & the Cdn Gas Association.
It’s not surprising for a career politician who has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years Poilievre has capitulated to every one of Big Oil’s demands
cultmtl.com/2025/04/pier... #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot

With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times.

Remember, I reported about a week ago on Vance attending a "military event" in CA?

Newsom’s office is considering closing parts of I5 from Fri on due to WH-directed plan to have Navy ships, off Camp Pendleton’s coast (San Diego County), firing over the freeway onto the base.
