Don't worry everyone, our corporate tax rate being the lowest in the G7 will fix this.
There's a serious uncovered news story in the GTA with ERs facing 50-100 patients waiting to be seen - a sustained surge since Labour Day - and 10 hour waits to see a doctor. We could use some coverage of this because it's still pre-respiratory season peak. It's going to be bad.

When I was still in healthcare, I received the report from military medics and soldiers who were sent to "rescue" LTC homes in Ontario in 2020.
It was my job to summarize it for various institutions.
I cried for days. It was horrific. It was criminal. And it was buried.

Canada’s 40 billionaires increased their wealth by $95 billion last year. At a time of unprecedented wealth inequality, it’s unacceptable that this budget contains no new measures to make the very richest pay their fair share.
That’s why we’ve called for a wealth tax on the very richest that could generate up to $40 billion per year.

It’s cool how Canadian governments know how wildly unpopular AI data centres are so they just won’t release any information about them before they’re built. They can just deny any complaints while providing no proof

Our federal government is:
-Signing deals with a genocidal UAE (see Sudan Conflict)
-Fighting FNs in court to deny Canadas obligation to provide them with clean drinking water.
-Sinking 1.6 Billion into AI.
We’re not okay.
