Pretty sure he said you don’t need us. We do lead the pack but UK and France are boycotting too. theconversation.com/canada-is-le...

Canada is leading the U.K. and France in boycotting American goods due to Trump’s tariffs

A new study finds Canadians were far more likely to report boycotting American products, services and travel than those in the U.K. and France.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Affordable childcare is a right and companies should not be making a profit off parents and their young children. Taxpayer money should not be used to help for-profit services of any kind.

Why are members of Parliament who are supposed to represent their constituents afraid to state who they are when being interviewed. Do they not want their constituents to know what they think about environmental issues and climate change? #Cndpoli #environment #LiberalParty

They don’t want to work out in the fields. They just don’t want the people who are hard workers trying to survive to work there either. No more year round strawberries. Maybe Canada can export some.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Will Alberta government do this as well? #Abpoli #DanielleSmith #covidvaccine #measles

Dr Nili Kaplan-Myrth, MD PhD @nilikm.bsky.social · Sep 5

Excellent news here in Canada:

There will be an overhaul of the Ontario vaccine registry to tackle measles resurgence and modernize Ontario's outdated vaccine records. The Covid-19 vaccine registry has been very helpful. Keeping track of all routine vaccines is very smart.

The truth behind Alberta's vaccine policy. It's not about "saving money" or "minimizing waste." It's about political retribution against citizens who followed public health measures, driven by Premier Danielle Smith's personal vaccine skepticism. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #AxeTheVaxTax

A black and white photo shows a vintage typewriter with a sheet of paper. The paper has a single sentence typed on it: "The Alberta government's claim that its vaccine policy is about 'wastage' and 'saving money' is a lie." The typewriter's keys and paper roller are visible at the bottom of the image.

A chart with two columns. The left column, "Danielle Smith's Policy," describes Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's actions regarding public health. It lists her opposition to COVID-19 restrictions, her justification of "minimizing waste" for halting free vaccine distribution, her defense of a report that recommended stopping vaccine use, and her decision to stop vaccine distribution via pharmacies. The right column, "The Real Motivation," connects her policies to the idea of political vengeance, stating they are an "inversion of truth" and "political retribution" that "dismantle institutions.

They are moving into a new dark age full of poor people, uneducated and brainwashed to believe propaganda that suits the wealthy class. Will they be burning witches and heretics? They are already putting people in cages and not following their own constitution. #Science, what’s that? #health #CDC
