Canada will not allow expansion of MAID for mental illness.
When it comes to mental illness, serious concerns remain about whether MAID requests can be assessed safely and consistently. For that reason, Canada does not intend to move ahead with the scheduled expansion of MAID for mental illness.

Friday I was honoured to attend the annual ceremony at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights commemorating the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi.
Gandhi’s principles of non-violent protest have inspired generations to make the world a better place.
Be the change you want to see in the world

The current United States administration is attempting to economically cripple Canada, and separatists are willing to collude with America to break the country up.
It is not an exaggeration that Canada is under a very real existential threat.
So the news today is that both the Alberta separatists and the Quebec separatists have been holding (or seeking) meetings with the Trump administration — colluding with a foreign power in the service of its ambition to break up the country and absorb it piece by piece. For how long are we going to continue to treat this as a legitimate political “option”?

All Canadians need to pay attention to this.
Alberta separatists are colluding with American operatives to influence the referendum.
The future of Canada is under a clear threat from foreign interference.
To the majority of Albertans who are patriotic Canadians: VOTE!
A Michigan delegation travelled to Calgary to sell separatists on software developed for Republicans to get out the vote – and how it could be used to wrench Alberta from Confederation.
For David Parker, an organizer for Alberta separation, the software was the path to victory – one that ultimately resulted in a massive privacy breach involving the sensitive personal data of nearly three million Albertans.
But Parker’s embrace of the Michigan delegation is evidence of a pattern: separatist factions in Alberta eager to engage the U.S. in their plans for secession, and American actors willing to assist, either privately or openly.
Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta’s pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.

The federal government has removed those barriers to interprovincial trade under its jurisdiction. The remaining barriers are under the jurisdiction of the provinces.
Not ONE interprovincial trade barrier has been eliminated. Not one. Despite 18 months in office. Canada needs better from the Carney government.

We heard dangerous and violent rhetoric coming from the antivax lobby, including the flying of Nazi flags during the convoy. Yet a number of CPC MP’s were openly supporting this movement.
I said at the time someone was going to get killed. I had hoped to be proven wrong.

Happy Breakaway Day to all who celebrate #space1999
Today in history: The Moon is blown out of Earth orbit and wanders the cosmos, after an unknown force detonates nuclear waste stored there in 1999.

1)There is no proven relationship between the COVID vaccine and cancer
2)There is no such thing as ‘turbo cancer’

A CPC MP (from Stephen Harper’s previous riding) appearing on an American network and undermining Canada’s negotiation position is a special kind of ‘patriotism’.
Prime Minister Carney is trying to organize a middle-power alternative to the United States with partners who, when it matters, are choosing Washington.
Europe chose Washington on trade. The United Kingdom chose Washington on security. Yet Carney has tilted decisively toward Beijing.
Our geography defines our national and economic security. The Prime Minister should not put Canada in the crosshairs between Beijing and Washington when our interests and alliances are deeply aligned with the West.

One of my favourite Tim Curry stories:
When Michael Caine starred in A Muppet Christmas Carol, he considered the muppets to be human.
When Tim Curry starred in Muppet Treasure Island, he considered himself to be a muppet.
Farewell and thank you.
RIP Tim Curry

In addition to being a giant of the entertainment industry (and a great singer), Dolly Parton was a tireless philanthropist who, among other works, donated over 300 million books to children and helped fund a COVID vaccine.
RIP to an incredible human being.

I support Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to stand firm for Canadian workers, families, farmers, and businesses.
Canada’s interests must come first, and we must continue to defend our economy and sovereignty.

Last night I heard a version of the Eagles tune ‘Desperado’, but with an acoustic guitar and done in a Samba style.
I really enjoyed it and I don’t know how to feel about that.

What in the rancid maple whiskey-soaked Timbits is going on here? Is this where Conservative politics are at in Canada?
At first glance I thought this was The Beaverton.
The 1950’s called. They want their McCarthy-style fearmongering back

From @CTVNews , an important article on how the latest vaccine announcement in the US is likely to affect Canadians.
Medical disinformation kills. In Canada we must stand up for science and evidence.
Lives are literally hanging in the balance
