He advised he is seeing a lot of new people that definitely needed preventative dental care & the admin - billing process, etc. is not an issue

It is interesting that this basically agrees with what PM Carney has been saying.

Pierre Poilievre’s modus operandi is to deny future generations of Canadians the same advantages that he had access to growing up. That also seems to be conservatism in a nutshell.

For over a century, major companies liquidated forests from First Nations’ territories without consent. Now they're leaving.

In their wake, First Nations are working to reshape the industry that long excluded them, but it won't be easy.

What does First Nations ownership mean for B.C. forestry? | The Narwhal

More First Nations are buying B.C. forestry tenures. With old growth dwindling, can they nudge the industry to a more sustainable future?

We have decades worth of experience, endless supply of resources, cheap energy, why not invest in ourselves. Instead of sinking BILLIONS of subsidies from govt into fickle foreign companies, let’s invest in ourselves. And raise the price of exported electricity. I’d buy that:

This. Conservative governments are deliberately starving public health care of funding so they can then declare the system is “broken” & institute private health care in order to extract profit — at the public’s expense of course.

We're on a getaway outside of Vancouver.
All border crossings have a 5 minute wait time.
Why? Because nobody is going there!
Normally, it would be 15-20 minutes and up.

Keep it up Canada 💪🇨🇦

OMG! Reagan may seem a weak version Con up against todays nut bag RINOs. But to say he's a fan. This is the same Reagan we 70/80 punks raged against with song and posters "Bed Time For Bonzo". He was the start to what we see today! Reagan was not a nice guy. Fords a fan?! #cdnpoli #onpoli

I’m a big Ronald Reagan fan” says Doug Ford. Reagan who was anti Social Security & anti Medicare. Just in case Ontarians have any doubt about Ford’s determination to institute fully privatized, for-profit healthcare ASAP. In other words Ford will happily force Ontarians into medical debt/bankruptcy.
