Remember when the Norway fund told Canada to act on climate or lose funding, and Alberta conservatives told the Norweigans to fuck off?

That's why Carney is grovelling for funds to grow Canada's climate villain emissions from fellow climate villains.

Two Conservative MPs (Jeneroux, Stubbs) and two NDP MPs (Idlout, Johns) abstained from the #budget vote.

This, combined with the vote of Elizabeth May, allowed it to pass.

So #elxn46 will come another day.

If you do not have prescription insurance coverage, through your employer, etc., you're obliged to have RAMQ prescription coverage.

However, RAMQ has changed who is eligible and is NOT COVERING COVID-19 VACCINES IF YOU'RE NOT ELIGIBLE.

150$ isn't even what Moderna/Pfizer, etc. spends to make each COVID-19 vaccine.

François Legault and the CAQ government are all about profits before people.

The point of Santé Québec is to privatize almost ALL healthcare. It's doing so, right now, w/ the COVID-19 vaccines.

Santé Québec oversees the ordering process for the COVID-19 vaccines given to at-risk groups, which are sent to wholesalers and then distributed to pharmacies.

For the paid vaccines, Santé Québec is not involved. Pharmacies place their orders directly with wholesalers, who order the vaccines from manufacturers.

“Surveillance is happening but it’s at a much lower level than it used to be. We don’t have a complete picture of virus circulation of the variants that are out there... there’s a collective amnesia right now about COVID-19."

But pharmacies are charging eligible Québécois/ses...

“Pharmacists are not allowed, under any circumstances, to offer paid vaccines to patients eligible for free vaccination. In this situation, pharmacists are encouraged to postpone appointments while waiting to receive the doses from Santé Québec."

Good news though... I absolutely cannot see how PP can win his leadership review this winter. And he'll be stuck being a MP in the middle of nowhere 😂

#cdnpoli


After a Con MP crossed the aisle yesterday... Another Con MP (who was rumoured to cross the aisle) has resigned. And that's after we've heard of talks of threats made to them from PP's team.

🍿

(I really do hope they're not actually getting threatened... I want our politics to be better, damn it)

I’m actually in favour of increasing our military spending, mostly because I anticipate the US deciding at some to point to switch to military means to annex us if their economic measure aren’t successful.

What worries me is how much of this new spending is going to be directed right to the hostile country that’s threatening us.

We should be lessening our dependence on the US militarily just much as we should be should be lessening our dependence on them economically.

I encourage every Albertan (and Canadian really) to listen to what UCP MLAs have to say about the notwithstanding clause, it boils down to something very simple:

We support the Canadian Constitution, and that includes the notwithstanding clause, because we believe those rights were never actually meant to be for everybody. We’ll be the judge of who gets rights and who doesn’t.

Their position really is that simple: rights aren’t for everyone.

And that’s why *every* Albertan - every Canadian - should be working to get these people and their ideological cousins (in Ottawa and elsewhere) out of office and as far from any influence in society as possible as quickly as possible.

Thank the gods Carney cut the luxury yacht tax, eh?
No longer will people buying a yacht worth over a quarter of a million dollars be saddled with a luxury tax. Ditto your private jet or helicopter with a value above $100,000. Whew.
Corporations will enjoy a “super-reduction” of more than 2% points to Canada’s marginal effective tax rate, and the 1% tax on foreign-owned vacant housing is gone.
Trudeau's proposed increase to the inclusion rate on the capital gains tax is also scrapped.

At least they didn't call it the Canada Strong & Free & Proud Budget. #cdnpoli


The budget is available.

Still early, but to me it looks like handing $300B-$400B to capital entities while punishing individual Canadians. And making all Canadians pay for it.


Also the other question is Why The Fuck is this a feature in a car? When you see ads from the Govt about distracted driving.

Maybe it is time that the safety standard revise WTF is allowed in a car. Like touch screen shit and distractions...

They have the power, the just refuse to use it.

IDGAF *IF* anus tangerinus and PM Carney have spoken. Canada should MOVE AWAY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FROM US TRADE.

If only there was a federal Government that could put forth some privacy legislation to protect Canadians. But I guess the industry lobby doesn't want it.

#cdnpoli



You know, the CAQ designs these labour shortages in health care, social services and education sectors, eh.

NONE OF THESE LABOUR SHORTAGES ARE BY CHANCE, NOT IN 2025!

First, w/ its laïcité BS, READ: WAR ON FABRIC AND JEWELLRY, etc.

Second, w/ its lack of testing/tracking/tracing/reporting/isolation protocol, etc. for COVID-19 AND ignorance of Long COVID, etc.

If elected, François Legault promised to “aim for zero equalization” and “eliminate the wealth gap with the rest of Canada.”

After 7 years of CAQ rule, Québec’s reliance on equalization—federal transfers to the provinces—has only grown!

Never mind the lack of family doctors, lack of nurses, lack of teachers, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

Ah yes, the Conservative government we elected will be tough on crime, and hire more RCMP agents!

Oh wait

“This is how the federal government can help municipalities and provinces get criminals off the streets, disrupt and dismantle criminal networks, reinforce the justice system with tough and comprehensive bail reform and build a stronger, safer, more secure Canada,” the prime minister said.

Carney also said that tomorrow he will be making make “an important announcement on border security.”

I bet Neville Chamberlain will be totally OK with US "H.R.5518 - Integrated Cross-Border Law Enforcement Operations Expansion Act".

Because that's what an appeaser do.

The missile defense system. Anus Tangerinus want us to join, so we can pay for it. It's not to protect us.

Our PM is an appeaser. Like Chamberlain.

The head of "special project" office of the federal Government is an oil executive. No wonder why high-speed rail isn't on the list, but a fucking pipeline that no one wants is.

Dawn Farrell, the head of the federal government’s Major Projects Office, believes the Trans Mountain oil pipeline helps fight climate change.

Speaking Thursday at the House of Commons environment committee, the former CEO of Trans Mountain who was tapped by Prime Minister Mark Carney to shepherd his major projects agenda, was asked by Bloc Québécois environment critic Patrick Bonin if she believed the pipeline contributes to the fight against climate change.

“The answer is yes,” Farrell said. “Most of the oil is cracked to make naphtha which goes into petrochemicals, which goes into making electric cars, to electrify the grid in Asia.”

Farrell, who told the committee she earns about $700,000 per year in her role at the Major Projects Office, did not offer any estimate for how many emissions she believes are avoided by using oil to help produce electric vehicles.

According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, by facilitating more oil exports, the Trans Mountain expansion project is expected to add 84 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year when taking into account both the emissions from producing and consuming the oil.

“Trans Mountain is a financial drain and an environmental disaster, and it's not reassuring to know that the CEO who finalized the project now heads the Major Projects Office,” Bonin said in a statement.

We could also fund (open source) software to also become less dependent on the US enshittification. The hundreds of millions of tax payer money that go annually out of the Canadian economy to fund US oligarch could fund a lot of Canadian sovereign *open source* software. Licensing is a key point here as well.

#cdnpoli


I have an idea. Instead of giving billions to a war monger for a so called "shield", why can't we use these billions to build a resilient infrastructure in Canada, notably infrastructure for a "Canadian cloud" that is vendor neutral and can work without any connection to the US.

Subsidising the GAFAM to build data-centers is NOT that. It's just tax cut to american companies.

Prime Minister Mark Carney raised the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would run from northern Alberta to the U.S. Midwest, during his conversations with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, according to a source with direct knowledge of the meeting.

The source said Carney expressed renewed national interest *(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's Alberta)* in the pipeline from the Canadian side and the U.S. president was receptive to the project advancing.
