As someone who’s cared for people living with chronic liver disease, this feels evil

That match should be dope!! If any NBA team can beat OKC this year, it’s Wemby and Spurs, no?

Cops protect the hospital and its reputation. Nurses unions protect patients, nurses, and other healthcare workers

This summer, members of the Manitoba Nurses Union took the rare step of voting to “grey-list” HSC, a powerful public warning issued only five times over the past forty-five years. Grey listing alerts nurses that HSC is deemed unsafe, signalling they should reconsider or use caution when applying to or accepting work there. It doesn’t force current employees to quit, but it sends a clear message to the public and government about the facility’s working conditions. In November, the union grey-listed a second Manitoba facility, Thompson General Hospital, due to unsafe working conditions.

The vote to grey-list HSC this August came hours after staff learned of a sixth sexual assault on campus in just a couple of weeks, according to the Winnipeg Free Press. Security found the woman and took her inside for treatment. Police arrested a thirty-nine-year-old man soon after. On the same day, a patient being transferred from HSC’s Crisis Response Centre to the ER claimed to be carrying a bomb, sparking a police response. Both incidents underscored the union’s warning that the hospital had become dangerous. Shared Health convened a meeting with union leaders and government officials. In a statement, the organization pointed to steps already implemented over the years, such as hiring more safety officers, adding AI weapon scanners, and installing 100 new cameras. The Manitoba Nurses Union also demanded new measures: swipe-card access for tunnels, secure entrances always staffed, and a notice as soon as it’s known a dangerous offender is active in or near the facility.

I think it may be as simple as $1 million to the tangerine tyrant gets one rich asshole out of jail, and this is pretty well-known and well-used by now. This level of corruption is shocking

Yup. Punching down on people with disabilities for petty savings

Fucking N*sc!

Fuck ICE

The Doug Ford government just passed Bill 60, the Fighting delays, Building Faster Act, 2025, a gigantic omnibus bill, a bill that gives corporate landlords more power to evict tenants.

Rammed through with no public consultation and no legislative transparency. There are some very troubling parts of this bill, the taking over Exhibition Place for one and that is just one of the hidden issues in Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Omnibus bill, that will benefit private corporations.

People will be very alarmed to hear that hidden in omnibus Bill 60 is a new law called the Water and Waste Water Public Corporations Act. This legislation will enable the privatization of water. In a time of the affordability crisis, this Bill will allow private corporations the control to raise water rates to maximize profits. Will public safety be a concern when profits are involved?

This Conservative government has not learned the lessons from Walkerton, where in 1996, after water testing was privatized, at least seven people died. More than 2,300 became very sick, many were hospitalized and many had to go on dialysis, for the rest of their lives. Worse, Ford has already passed Bill 56 which removed local autonomy from local water systems and gave the minister in charge the power to make changes without any public input or oversight.

Oil prices will also most likely peak within a decade, rendering yet more crazy-expensive and long-term investments into fossil fuel infrastructure questionable. Tar sands oil is some of the most expensive oil to manufacture, so it will fare badly when oil prices start to come down

Nah, dawg. It’s gone. Redemption is possible. But he’s outed himself as clearly a fossil fuel industry backer

Israeli violence = “settler attacks;” Palestinian violence = “terrorism.” Do better CBC and stop sanitizing genocide

Right, but RFK Jr is an anti-science quack, and parroting his dubious line without any scientific context (eg, lives saved from COVID vaccines) is journalistic malpractice

What a stupid take, fitting for the Broken Times. They published an article today headlined: FDA says 10 children died of COVID vaccines

Right on!!!

Mark Carney, shill for fossil fuel oligarchs and Prime Minister of Canada (in that order)

The changes, proposed in Carney’s Nov. 4 budget, are meant to address what his government says is a “trend” of companies staying silent about their environmental efforts out of fears of running afoul of the law, according to a statement sent to The Narwhal from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.

[…] But now, the government believes companies are “withholding information that could aid in attracting investment for green innovation,” a departmental spokesperson said. Carney’s budget claimed the anti-greenwashing law, brought in under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, was leading to “some parties slowing or reversing efforts to protect the environment.”

When asked by The Narwhal, the federal department couldn’t name any specific examples of companies slow-walking genuine environmental efforts as a result of last year’s legal changes — which deal specifically with marketing unsubstantiated green claims, and not environmental action itself.

Based on other context provided in the call, Witkoff is telling Yuri how to sell the deal to Trump so that Putin can get what he wants from Trump. If that sounds treasonous because Witkoff works for the US government, that’s because it is treason.

Witkoff is saying that Putin wants Donetsk (an Eastern state in Ukraine) and some other land swap as part of the ‘deal.’

I recently learned that the Pacers’ slogan that sounds like “Yessirs” is actually “Yes, 'Cers” (as in [Pa]cers).

It feels like the Raptors keep playing the same teams over and over again this season. The Raptors were so hard to watch the last 2 seasons, but this season has been incredible so far, so fun and they’re winning more games than anyone thought they would

Pacers @ Raptors (Wed, Nov 26)
