FYI ALL hospitals have security personnel and there are panic buttons throughout, so, WTAF, eh?!?

Million$ of dollar$ for metal detectors but nada for nurses, family doctors, assorted healthcare workers, etc.

Hey Canadians, remember how when you heard about Project 2025, and then saw it being implemented, you wondered why US citizens had been - and continued to be - in denial? Because the propositions were right there? Here's what hawks in the USA are publicly strategizing:

In a strategy of the retrenchment, the dismemberment of Canada becomes a wise decision. Rather than allowing it to continue down a path of anti-American antagonism, the United States could support the Alberta and Quebec separatist movements. A successful secession by Alberta alone would cripple the federal fisc, and drive separatism in other regions due to the resultant decline in their equalization payments which comprises such a substantial part of their provincial budgets. In the end, British Columbia and a unified Maritime province would be admitted to the Union as Democratic states while Alberta and Saskatchewan would be admitted as Republican states; ensuring continued balance in the US Senate.

The rump of Canada, left with only one or two provinces, would finally be able to revise its constitution with ease. Under US pressure, the rump could become a freely associated state similar to Palau, with a new constitution reordering society along American lines. In time, perhaps it too could be annexed.

The United States can no longer afford to dismiss Canada as a benign neighbor

Another week, another 1000+ #COVID19 cases... and those are just the people who are tested.

There's almost zero uptick in vaccine at 180$/each... And, Québec hospital ERs are at 250%+ capacity...

A new method for calculating #rent in Québec came into effect January 1, 2026...

The new rules are meant to simplify how #rentalincreases are calculated and rent hikes should remain tied to the #costofliving, but tenants still do not have access to all the information landlords use to calculate increases, making it difficult to know if rent is fair, etc.
