Canada, understand this:
1) We doctors didn't build publicly funded healthcare. You did.
2) You can't afford private, profiteer healthcare.
3) We doctors aren't going to fix this. We follow the money - like you.
4) Only the public can save publicly funded healthcare.

Judging by the influx of anti-Musk comments today, I am thinking a lot of people began watching the new Musk documentary on @amazon prime. Good! Everyone should watch it and be outraged at how the South African conman has been swindling the U.S. taxpayers!

Dear Prime Minister:
Please do whatever it takes to guarantee that federal funding for poverty isn't abused and misallocated by provincial governments.

The tragic irony is Sabrina Apitz-Grossman’s cancer treatment costs the same amount. And Ontario's claim her treatment would set a precedent for $5 billion more is with zero evidence. This government has lost its way.
The Ford government's decision to move the Science Centre to the waterfront came with an extra cost--changing the now awkwardly named Science Centre Station
The bill: $618,000

I don’t care if a member of Congress takes their oath of office on a Bible, a Quran, or Incredible Hulk #181.
I care that they uphold the Constitution.

Just do universal basic income. Artists need money to make art. What you're saying is make the money before the art, which is not how making art works.
And let's not forget what trained all AI models. Artists' work did.

Hillary Clinton calls for a review of Elon Musk's government contracts: "His money is made largely through government contracts. That's part of what has to be done legislatively and through investigations. We need laws that tighten the rules on what people can get from the government."

NEW BOMBSHELL! RECEIPTS! Elon Musk missed Sen. Richard Blumenthal's Nov. 5 deadline to explain who restricted Ukraine's Starshield and said nothing. No answers. No documents. The Oct. 22 letter asked 9 questions: who ordered the October restriction, who was told, whether Ukraine was warned, who holds the power to shut off Starshield, and how much of your taxpayer money is in his contracts.
The answer: over $2 billion in named Starlink and Starshield contracts, plus a $1.8 billion government-owned Starshield constellation.
On Oct. 13, Starshield terminals were capped above 100 mph—the speed drones fly at—after a conversation with Donald Trump, per the Wall Street Journal. Musk says the military decides. On Oct. 27, the Pentagon's inspector general refused to investigate.
On Nov. 5, Ukraine's Denys Sienik said Kyiv asked the Pentagon, the White House, and SpaceX: "Nobody provided answers." Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he doubts Musk acted alone. Apartheid Clyde controls the satellites your taxes paid for, and he answers to nobody. Donald Trump didn't give him the power—ownership did.
Mr. Trump gives him protection. The briefing is due Nov. 12. Tick tock. This is the scam. This is the fraud. The biggest Ponzi scheme in history—your tax dollars, his switch, no accountability.
"THE LAST THING AUTHORITARIANS WANT IS AN INDEPENDENT THINKER AND A TRUTH-TELLER. They can handle a crowd. They can't handle one person who thinks for themselves and refuses to shut up. That's why they come for the press, the teachers, and every voice that won't obey. EVERYBODY KNOWS IT."
I’m part way through this collection of Bertrand Russell essays. Written between 1899 & 1954, it’s still relevant.
He opposed any system or dogma which shackles the mind.

Elon Musk is hiding this video of Bill Burr ripping him apart.
So don't RT it.
Or do if you don't like Elon Musk.

Doug Ford treats Ontario’s teachers the same way he treats our doctors and nurses. He’s deliberately gutting our public health care and our public education to pave the way for privatization.
Every Canadian deserves excellent public health care. How quickly you get the care you need should never depend on how much you can afford to pay.
At every turn the @fordnation seems to be intent on misleading Ontarians.
If it’s not a vanity project or a project to enrich their donors they aren’t interested.
[SIGH]
Sabrina is 31 years old and has a rare cancer. She needs a special, proven treatment that’s not available in our province - and she's been rejected for it.
Today we learned the Ontario government’s own doctors recommended that she be funded to get it, only to be overruled by the Ministry of Health.
Here’s the kicker:
For weeks, @SylviaJonesMPP has claimed the rejections were made by doctors, not politicians. Now we know that's not true.
Fix it, Sylvia.

Let’s talk about the funniest financial flop of the decade. Billionaires have spent literal billions pouring money into the far-right movement, trying to convince us all that their fringe political ideology is the most popular thing since sliced bread. Spoiler alert for the

BREAKING: A top GOP official just said on a hot mic, "Stephen Miller as chief-of-staff is game over. In 2028 Democrats will win 500 electoral votes and a Senate supermajority. They learned no lessons from Tuesday. America didn't vote for more Stephen 'Nosferatu Goebbels' Miller."
