Pre election: “We will protect these rights, and fight for true equity for women—in health, in the workplace, and in their access to fundamental rights.”

Now the government is contemplating cuts so deep that they will exceed those that laid waste to the women’s sector during the Harper years.

Quicker and more extremely screwed.

For what?

Money. Insanity.

This is what the Zionists are. Evil and cruel, with total disregard for humanity.

Don't be smug about this.

The Canadian arms of the social media giants have been run by Harper ex-staffers almost exclusively, for years.

Alberta is a dangerous place to live if you're disabled, or if you get sick, or are in an accident. Especially rural Alberta. But urban may have open ERs, but be prepared to wait many hours.

Long Weekend in Alberta? Better check to see if your rural ER, OR or OBGYN are open! Chances are you'll be taking a road trip, to another town or city for help.. Be Safe & Happy Thanksgiving! @frazzleheadlc.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh... #abhealth #abpoli #UCPCorruption

What war in Gaza?

Was there a war at Auschwitz?

I've never heard of it until now. And of course, I have no phone.

Still remember this so well. The hatred and cruelty .. and we've really made so little progress, especially in Alberta.

I step outside before I head out, most days. Pulled some light mitts and a neck warmer and my light winter coat. Yeah time to switch out the Summer stuff, and out comes Fall/Winter. Same with my yard stuff. Need to get the seeds and little shovel etc inside, and the ice melt out.

Ah right, sorry, you mentioned that.

Still so cruel.

I ditched my Carhartt hoodie for my light puff jacket (as opposed to a heavier one I have), got some windbreak action with it. Girls are geriatric, more geriatric than me. Also 12 and 14 pounds. We did get out. Nowadays it's more time than distance. Sniffin' and pee mail. 🥰

Also, UBI would go a long way towards a more equitable society.

I can afford private HC insurance, food, housing, and a car.
I can afford small luxuries.

I want my taxes spent to allow others, who are in much more dire situations, to have these as well.

We are a civil & caring society. We can afford to help.

Greed is the only reason others won't.

Hope your not in Alberta, where CDB is getting clawed back. But also, if you don't apply, the claw it back anyways.

I'm disabled but I'm not on AISH. I live on about $500 a month less but I feel this to my core. My estranged son told me to just get a job! Don't people think if I could work i would! Seriously! This issue is a #Canada issue too!! $200 CDB did not bring me out of poverty, not even close!

Multiple would make it harder.

I digress, but related. I lift three times a week, early evenings. I journal my workouts. A couple later wondering about doing my journal, I don't remember working out.
