Trudeau-era environment minister Steven Guilbeault has published a resignation letter detailing the reasons for his departure from Carney's cabinet.

He directly cites today's MOU:

“It’s interesting that governments will regularly inspect restaurants and report publicly if there’s a minor problem such as a missing paper towel holder. Meanwhile, no government reports publicly on patients dying on waiting lists. It’s quite hypocritical.”
- Colin Craig
"Ontario recorded the highest number of wait-list deaths: 10,634, including more than 9,100 diagnostic-scan deaths where patients died before reaching the point of receiving or being scheduled for surgery."

I guess it's not "hallway healthcare" if you never make it to the hospital hallway.

Even if HPV only caused cancer in people with cervixes, it would be essential to vaccinate people without cervixes because they can carry and spread the virus. You don't control infectious diseases by only vaccinating the people who might die, you control them by vaccinating everyone.

An underrated part of the discussion of how to fund Vancouver's Celebration of Light is that a generation ago, big businesses spent tons of money on local culture because it was an efficient form of advertising.

And today, when everything can be targeted through online algorithms, they don't.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Hearing about the beauty of cooperation in Finland, it hits home.

A system that expects parties to listen, compromise and find common ground produces calmer politics and better decisions.

Canada can have that too with proportional representation. We just have to choose it.

The evidence is clear. Countries with proportional representation have lower polarization, more stability, and more real choice. Cooperation becomes normal instead of rare. 9/10

When a woman is given money, in 67% of cases, her male partner decides how that money is spent

Even when the woman makes the decision, she chooses to spend her money on her male partner's priorities. Only when the decision is secret, does she spend on her own priorities

Taxes are good! Taxes are how we pay for all of the things that make society a good place to live!

People who don't like taxes are selfish and stupid and make our entire society worse for their own short term, often barely noticeable gain.

Trump never had a fan base.

He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.

It’s as stupid as it sounds.
