The war currently raging is between a fanatical religious dictatorial autocracy whose militaristic posture, nuclear ambitions and zeal for apocalyptic messaging threaten to destabilize the entire global order, and Iran.
I will never forget that this is what Americans voted for. Not by accident. Not for the lolz. Not as a protest. On purpose. And yes. I know “not all Americans.” I know that many Americans on this site, in particular, opposed him. But not nearly enough of you. You have declared economic war on us, your most loyal ally and trading partner. You have torn up trade treaties and a century of friendship over a lie.

Canada's #ForeignInterference đź§µ /37

mid July, this is what these new variants are doing

exploding wastewater traces in many US states, hospitalizations in Greece up 30% in last weeks

people reporting late positive tests, then a harsh rebound after apparent recovery

Staff shortages, LTCs and hospitals ordering extra shifts and overtime - health workers are dropping

we simply do not learn, just keep repeating the same mistakes despite well advanced warnings

meanwhile, California hospitals are bringing back mandatory masking, which is the correct response to the surge in cases and hospitalizations

but it still begs the question - why are health setting mask mandates not permanent?

honestly one of the best anti-doug and anti-pp ads was a pro lcbo union ad, which argues that the stores bring in billions a year which goes to schools and healthcare, whereas the conservatives just put the money in their billionaire buddies pockets.

A message like that should get through to people, but probably theyre all listening to some bullshit rightwing podcast complaining about trans people existing instead
