After spending 2.5 weeks in an Ontario GTA hospital with my 93-year-old mother-n-law, I can say this with absolute certainty: Today, she passed away with the best doctor and nursing care any person in any country could hope to receive. The doctors and nurses caring for her were nothing short of phenomenal compassionate, skilled, and deeply human. Today, her nurse stepped back into the room and said: “It’s beautiful to see a family gathered around a dying loved one. We don’t get to see that enough.” Let that sink in. The only issue I had through this experience was private retirement-home marketing being pushed early on, pamphlets from companies like Chartwell Retirement Residences being handed out while our family was still processing what was happening. Anyone pushing private healthcare should spend two weeks watching Ontario’s frontline healthcare workers care for someone they love. Our healthcare workers are not the problem. Public healthcare is not the problem. Governments starving the system and mismanaging it like Doug Ford’s government, are the problem. I will never support privatized healthcare after what we witnessed and experienced. RIP 🙏

Replying to @PierrePoilievre
Poilievre says Liberal laws are "choking Canada's energy potential." ⚠️Worth a fact check. And a history lesson. On the facts: C-69 did not block 16 projects as claimed. Many of the projects Poilievre cites were cancelled before the bill even received royal assent, or were halted by provincial governments. Others, like Energy East, were pulled by companies after concluding market conditions had changed. On the pattern: Conservatives have a habit of killing good policy and then campaigning on the resulting problem. Mulroney dismantled the NEP. The goals behind it, Canadian ownership, price protection, energy self-sufficiency, did not disappear. They became the very problems future Conservatives would campaign on solving: pipelines routed entirely to one American market, no diversification, total price exposure. Harper killed the ecoENERGY renewable program and cut home efficiency supports. Then Conservatives spent years campaigning on high energy costs and the need for green retrofits. 📣Remove the guardrails. Create the grievance. Run on the grievance. Repeat. Canada's workers deserve better than a party that manufactures the crisis it claims to solve. #cdnpoli

I dont know who needs to hear this but a trade deficit is not a subsidy The US is not subsidizing Canada. You give us money and we give you oil and uranium and potash. If you dont want it, dont buy it. These items are global commodities, we will find another buyer.

it bears repeating, that if you want to know what it was like in Germany in the 1930s just take a look around
