Reminder the Greatest Canadian isn't a hockey player, nor musician or author, though many were contenders

The Greatest Canadian is Tommy Douglas
Why you may ask
Simple answer #Healthcare

picture of Tommy Douglas with quote
"I came to believe that health services ought not to have a price tag on them, and that people should be able to get whatever health service required irrespective of their individual capacity to pay"

I’ve had people tell me they are afraid to post certain things because of Trump’s threats: Wrong answer. I haven’t changed sh*t…and won’t be. Fight back every demon that attempts to enter your mind. Crush it where it stands.

Compassionate of heart,

Gracious in awareness,
Courageous in thought,
Generous in love.

Can we gather more than 20 million demonstrators on Oct 18? Yes, we can.
Join us — no kings in our nation. That ended almost 250 years ago, because we, the people, chose freedom.

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.

I really have never understood how Christians and their churches have not reiterated the warnings about false idols to their own followings especially with the rise of incredibly problematic fandoms like MAGA, Barbz, Swifties, Carnies, etc.
