I don’t think most Canadians feel Premier Tim Houston of the great province of Nova Scotia has us on “the road to serfdom”. Most Canadians are reasonable to protect this nation, its land and people. The extreme right is overreacting to temporary government policy @CandiceMalcolm.
Once again, the CBC/Lib crowd are intentionally misreading the severely negative public reaction to the NS forest ban. Let me make this very clear: our concern isn't about a government acting for the greater good. If danger and casualties were truly imminent, an evacuation.

Ontario Opposition Leader Marit Stiles wants to treat "hospital building like nation-building". She is right. Ontario - for decades - has underinvested - compared to everyone. As a result, ER patients languish awaiting a hospital bed. This is nation-building. @MaritStiles.
Important conversation in Ottawa about the future of health care — strengthening primary care, hiring more family doctors and nurse practitioners, and treating hospital building like nation-building. The NDP made universal public health care a reality in Canada, and we will

The United States many of us knew and respected is gone, replaced by an authoritarian regime and a lack of fair rule of law. @Atul_Gawande.
#freedc I returned from the wedding of our daughter to find the city where I have lived for the last 3 years in the midst of a military takeover. The military policing Americans. This is a danger for everyone in our country. Now is the moment to turn out in protest.

It would be good if Chris could mention specifically whose life he saved. We do know he was convicted of mischief and counselling others to disobey a court order, and that Canadian laws apply to all Canadians - BigRed or not. @ChrisBarber1975.
30 miles of #freedomconvoy behind #BigRed, we save more lives than the government and woke the world with horns of freedom.

According to mRNA vaccine conspiracists, any death or affliction is because of the Covid mRNA vaccines, often linking unrelated medical events to vaccination. My husband died from a ruptured aortic aneurysm; his condition had no connection to Covid vaccines - Dr. Céline Gounder
