A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Average wait times in Saskachewan to see a specialist have gone from 12 weeks in 2014 to 37 weeks in 2025.
"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.

A lot of people voted Liberal because they were terrified of Poilievre and his gang. I get that.
But Carney's who we got, he's being a weak leader, pushing policies that are harming the vast majority of us and it's time to just admit he sucks and push back.

In my brief time on this beautiful earth, I have witnessed Canada’s climate-change target dates move from 2030 to 2040 to 2050. It’s all just a terrible joke and only the oil and gas execs are laughing 😐
Premier Smith and I have agreed to a framework built on shared ambitions — to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, unlock the full potential of Alberta’s energy resources, and build a stronger, more sustainable, more competitive economy.

Genuinely feels like there's been a coup within the Liberal party thanks to Carney and his bros.
Not to say Trudeau's Liberals were much better (they bought a pipeline!) but Carney is a full-blown red tory and I'm shocked more Liberals aren't outraged their party has been usurped like this.

Super cool that we've got a deal for a path towards a pipeline that's tied to a carbon capture project, as if that makes it okay
when carbon capture one of the most expensive and least effective options for addressing climate change, and oil companies often use it to EXTRACT MORE OIL!!!!
fuck man

Carney just signed a deal with Alberta that lays out conditions for a new oil pipeline.
In doing this, he managed to piss off one of his own cabinet ministers (who promptly resigned), coastal First Nations, the B.C. government, the Green Party and the Bloc Québécois.
