Scientists have discovered that ants, after collecting grains and seeds which they need to store for the winter, actually break them into halves before storing in their nests. This is because by breaking the seeds into half, it stops them from germinating despite the most perfect

Ford is wasting $1 billion taxpayer dollars a year on private-for-profit agency nurses instead of hiring full-time nurses. At the same time, he is handing our public not-for-profit hospitals a $1 billion structural deficit telling them to make cuts. #OntHealth

NEW: Ontario hospitals are facing a billion-dollar structural deficit and are now preparing for “difficult decisions” unless the Ford government increases health-care funding in its upcoming budget, the finance minister has been told. https://t.co/rbWDzE8bij

Hospitals shouldn’t be ‘saving money’ they should be saving lives. The money was there. Federal funding went to the provinces. Doug Ford chose not to put it into public hospitals. This isn’t about ‘no easy choices.’ It’s about political choices. And Ontarians are paying the

The U.S. is a capitalist dictatorship whose entire economy is propped up by waging imperialist wars to steal resources from other nations. The millions of deaths caused by the U.S. regime are covered up by a relentless propaganda campaign to blame socialism for capitalism’s ills.

The majority of the people in the US need to accept that 30-40% of the population wants a dictatorship, wants fascism as long as the right people in their minds are being opressed/punished/murdered/disappeared/tortured. They don't care what laws are broken. They don't give a shit

1979-1980 with the election of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. Far Right Rupert Murdoch's privatisation puppets. Over the next 2 decades Western Government were dismantled and sold to billionaires. The damage you see is Public Services replaced with billionaires profits.

Former CIA Officer Larry Johnson drops a bombshell. Larry says the chaos in Iran was not an organic uprising, but a calculated CIA–Mossad intelligence operation, using a deliberately engineered currency crash to spark protests, which Iran ultimately crushed.

Feckless European leaders like Starmer let Israel and the US tear up international law in Gaza. Now, faced with Greenland and Ukraine, they are suffering from a severe case of buyer’s regret. Read my latest here:

Palestinians are an educated and cultured people who are perfectly capable of turning Palestine into a prosperous economic success story. But first they have regain control of their country from the genocidal colonists who have stolen it.

Apparently, I wasn’t “civilized” or “professional” enough when I publicly lamented on the institutional crackdown on free speech and wrote about an image of a young Palestinian girl my daughter’s age who’s head was blown off by an Israeli bomb in 2024, so my teaching contract was

When the parasite class realises that large segments of the population are becoming disillusioned with the political system, and beginning to see the pantomime for what it is, it responds by delivering charismatic leaders and offering token concessions. This is done to increase

The best part is them admitting it's Palestine🇵🇸. In the 1920s and 1930s, when colonialism was still considered a legitimate policy, the British Mandate authorities and early Zionists made no secret of the fact that establishing a Jewish state was a colonial enterprise. Ze'ev

Carney really said that international rules based order touted by the West has always been a lie they use for capitalism and everyone is just going to move on?

We came this close. 215–215. A tie. And in the House, a tie means the War Powers Resolution on Venezuela fails. But your calls, your pressure, your voice, shook Congress today. We keep going. No more endless wars. Hands Off Venezuela.

Canada's biggest media conglomerate is owned by an American right wing hedge fund. No joke. Brazen foreign interference was facilitated by Stephen Harper and his foreign far right friends. Foreign authoritarians should not own Canadian media.
Chatham Asset Management jokes aside it does seem odd the Toronto Sun, Ottawa Sun, Ottawa Citizen, Montreal Gazette etc accounts seem to be ignoring a speech by Canada’s PM that is being covered by media around the world and one that is earning praise from many different corners.

Trump’s Board of Collaborators and A.I. PowerPoints in glitzy Davos conference rooms are a smokescreen. Pay attention to reality. The genocide continues, there is no ceasefire, there is no “peace process,” the perpetrators are not being held accountable, and the rights of the
