Do the rich deserve better healthcare than the poor? Do the poor deserve to be poor and the rich deserve to be rich? Is capitalism simply exploitation?

Toronto
People talk as if the current economic system is carved in stone, the natural order of things. Nothing is further from the truth. We invented the current system…we can invent something different.

My view is that hundreds of thousands of Albertans will never forgive Smith and the UCP for this referendum mess. The pointless waste, the division, the scapegoating, and ultimately, the betrayal of Canada, will be hard to forget.

"Many who have worked closely with Bradford over the past eight years think he is almost uniquely unlikable. I’m not sure I’ve ever covered anyone who inspires so much personal vitriol. Many - and not just progressives - think he would be a terrible mayor" thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

Ultra pro-Russian "journalist" Jack Posobiec is now the American Vice President's travel companion. There is no aspect of the current US executive branch that Putin doesn't own.
✈️ VP VANCE TELLS CAMERAMAN TO "STAY STEADY" 😅 During an EXCLUSIVE interview w/ @VP @JDVance, @JackPosobiec and VP discuss the H1B program. "The H1B program is completely broken...supportive of eliminating it, but while we have it...we have to protect American workers."

Not sure who needs to hear this, but promising $5K checks only if your party gets elected isn't an incentive. It's a bribe.

The best choice to lead this province
I'm a chartered accountant, and I served on the board of the Bank of Canada. Over twenty-five years in business and finance, I've led diverse teams in 20 different countries. I know how the economy works, and how to bring people together to take on the complex problems holding us back. #ReadyForWhatsNext #OLP #ONpoli

Reposting as a show of support.
Just had a man call our home phone (from a private number) telling me to stop talking about @bradmbradford on social media and threatening to share information about me if I don't stop. Coward wouldn't even share his name. Has this happened to anyone? #BeachesEastYork #topoli

JFC YOU literally took a decade to come out against YOUR abuser Megyn. Social media is a cancer
.@megynkelly: "If you were violently gang raped repeatedly over the course of an evening, do you think it would take you three weeks to call campus police?... The delay, the chatting with the friends, and the decision to go to campus police says a lot to me."
Community note
Kelly herself did not report her own sexual harassment by then Fox News CEO Roger Ailes for over a decade. She repeatedly spoke positively of him in the interim before finally reporting his unwanted sexual advances. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Ukraine got its hands on a Russian plan to hit energy and water infrastructure with up to 1000 missiles, drones and bombs this winter. The main targets are major cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa. The goal is to leave civilians without power, heating or water in an attempt to force Ukrainians into capitulation. Now would be the right time to send Ukraine a ton of Patriot missiles, heating equipment and any other assistance it needs.

Being called "woke" in a world that can sleep through other people's suffering, isn't an insult. - Pope Leo XIV I fucking respect that.
Community note
The quote attributed to Pope Leo XIV is fabricated and never said by him; it originated as an AI-assisted invention admitted by its creator and appears in no official Vatican sources or speeches. snopes.com/fact-check/pop… fullfact.org/world/pope-leo… vaticannews.va/en/search.html… press.vatican.va/content/salast…

The world is getting tired of Ukraine Slowly. Quietly I understand - A war that lasts years Is not “interesting” anymore But our war didn’t end Ukraine is still fighting Still making russia weak And we are still dying - Soldiers, civilians, children Even if you don’t see it in the news Ukraine is no longer a headline But we are still here Still fighting not only for ourselves - But for Europe’s future And we still need your support

Jesus forbids the death penalty, says only the sinless may execute, overturns "eye for an eye" in his first public sermon, and never mentions abortion. But if y'all had ever actually read the Jesus parts, you wouldn't be MAGA. MAGA Christians don't "follow" Christ, they use Him.
Has the pope actually read the Bible? Honest question. God commands the death penalty. Moses wrote of it repeatedly. Paul said it is deserving. Jesus affirmed it is carried out by man under God’s authority.

Enforce Canada Health Act! Canadian tax dollars are being deliberately misappropriated at provincial and territorial level through underfunding of public healthcare and redirecting federal healthcare funding to create second-tier private for-profit healthcare systems in Canada.
A new report shows that @fordnation's experiment with private clinics has created longer wait times and increased healthcare costs. Despite that, he is increasing funding for these clinics by 69%. Only in Doug Ford's Ontario (and his Cabinet) does failure get favoured.

The president was talking about Venezuela's role in drug trafficking, then started talking about the attack on Iran's nuclear sites...mistakenly mentioned drugs...and then, instead of just correcting himself, decided to pretend Iran's nuclear sites were indeed "drug factories." x.com/Acyn/status/2105839593…
Trump on Midnight Hammer strikes on Iran: They unloaded every single bomb—went right down air chutes into this uhhh drug factories, really, that's what they were doing. They were nuclear and drugs. They were doing drugs. These drug factories/nuclear factories were hit so hard
