The PPE supply in the provincial stock pile should rotate into the hospital, clinics and nursing home supply chain so it gets used up.
Discarding $1.4 billion worth of supplies paid for with tax payers’ hard earned money is disgraceful.

If Carney is serious about using Canadian steel for shipbuilding and other major projects, the Federal government needs to recoup the $500M paid to Alcoma by nationalizing the plant.
We need this capacity now more than ever, and it's clear that more corporate handouts won't work.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

I wrote about a novel approach to tackling misinformation currently being discussed in Wales--and which some say Canada should try, too. What if we made a rule so politicians couldn't lie? www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
Is it time to make it illegal for politicians to lie to us?
That’s the question currently on the table in Wales, which has just released a draft of the “globally pioneering” sanctions for politicians.
