This happens in the US literally every single day. The only difference is the financial ruin that comes along with it. Fox News yet again pandering to people who have never left their hometown let alone taken the time to understand Canada's Healthcare system.

Wow, he swore twice! While drinking beer! Such a normal guy! This totally makes up for the fact that Davis did everything in his power to avoid "liberal" CU for his entire tenure and mocking those who wanted less blatantly partisan representation. That half-zip tho! #relatable
On Illinois Democrats: "When they draw more polarized districts, you get a more polarized Congress. ... And the next time @GovPritzker bitches and moans about the lack of bipartisanship in Congress, how was that in the map he signed?" #twill

this is bullshit and it's kind of funny that it didn't garner any pushback. Rodney continually refused to hold any type of event in C-U for years. We all remember. we lived through it. he did his part to create polarization by freezing out a huge part of his electorate. come on.

Go about your day with the passion the @ChampaignGOP (we're blocked) brings to putting up yard signs in literally any vacant/abandoned lot they can find.
It's 2022 and Republicans on the county board are still martyring themselves on the "I don't see color!" pyre.
Really good stuff. Great to see. Very helpful.
Feels like responding to this with "why should I pay for X thing for Y person" cedes a lot of ground. Why we invest in things like education, and infrastructure, and other public goods (even if we're not directly benefitting from them) is because it's good for society as a whole
It is disqualifying and dangerous to pander to the lunatic fringe of American politics like this. Doubly so when the job you're telling people you're qualified for involves overseeing elections.
Just about the most spineless way to go about this
Today: The @news_gazette issued a correction for getting the name of the NAACP wrong in its racist joke.
They regret misidentifying the civil rights organization in their racist joke.
The racism in the website version has been made thinly veiled by deleting "no pun intended."
The "biden is only doing this for votes!" argument seems to rely on a hopeless brand of politics where you just settle for repeatedly voting for politicians who do nothing for you
"Wow you mean if you're poor/unemployed you can just go to a food bank and get free food? Where's the free food for those of us who are WORKING?"
This is how some of y'all sound re: student loans. You can be proud of your accomplishments AND extend empathy to others. It's ok.
Wow! What a hilarious and not-at-all racist joke in the @news_gazette by their notoriously not-at-all-racist opinions editor Jim Dey! Really good stuff! High-quality journalism from our high-quality local paper!
Sarcasm aside, this is blatantly inappropriate and @jeffdalessio should be issuing an apology as soon as humanly possible and (ideally) questioning a.) how this even made it to print, and b.) why they continue to employ the sort of person that thinks this is funny as an editor

In keeping with my campaign promise, my Administration is announcing a plan to give working and middle class families breathing room as they prepare to resume federal student loan payments in January 2023.
I'll have more details this afternoon.
ALT The Biden Administration's Student Loan Debt Plan: Forgiving debt: $20,000 if you went to college on Pell Grants $10,000 if you didn't receive Pell Grants Forgiveness only applies to those earling less than $125,000 Student loan pause extended one final time through Dec 31, 2022 Payment based on income: If you have undergraduate loans, you can cap repayment at 5% of your monthly income.
The Champaign GOP continues to put unqualified nutters up for public office then has the audacity to act surprised when they get cleaned out. Embarrassing.
We told @ElectRodney he was enabling people like Mary Miller and he blocked, mocked, and ignored us. Now, he's losing his job to a monster quite literally of his own creation. It's fitting, really.

Any time @ElectRodney goes anywhere for any reason he should be asked why he voted against funding to help shore up formula manufacturing so children don't starve.
Right wingers love their "I did that" stickers but we're guessing they'll react differently to this lol.
4D chess
All the reasons we were given for why we can't #CancelStudentDebt were lies
Loans have been paused for 2 yrs and banks are still recording record profits. The economy is chugging along. Nothing happened apart from borrowers finally being able to rebuild their credit and savings
the moral argument against the #CancelStudentDebt movement was always trash, but now we've soundly disproven the financial argument against it as well. There's no excuse for keeping borrowers in limbo. Biden can and should do it now.
