Way too low, we would be swallowed up whole by fascists if people don’t wake up.

Despite being concerned artificial intelligence is replacing workers, NDP leadership candidate and union leader Rob Ashton used AI during an online campaign event on Sunday.

He gets lowered on my list.

Give me Bhutan and I won’t attack anyone else!

Having the whole country buy prescriptions instead of just the province gets better rates.

They don’t think poor people deserve medicine.

He’s laughing, manchild has no regrets.

That’s because that’s what the people voted for. If people vote for right-wing policy that’s what they will get.

Democracies work better when 95% of the vote is represented instead of just 39%, this ensures accountability from politicians.

Nope, the research shows that electoral systems changes the motivations, there’s always calls for early elections from one of the 2 big parties when they have a minority government when they’re doing well in the polls since then they do not have to compromise through supply and confidence agreements, think of Stephen Harper.

Majority governments cancel each other projects all the time wasting millions.

Long-term stability is an issue that needs addressing, but proportional representation isn’t the solution.

Germany does better in healthcare and climate. PR has slightly less elections than FPTP.

Lula is a real working class man, dude improved Brazil’s democracy and lost his finger in a factory incident.

And if sideloading and unlocked bootloaders were so vital to consumers, wouldn’t those manufacturers making those devices be seeing overwhelming market demand?

The big manufacturers can bulk buy all the factory space to make the best chips. People are chasing specs over freedom.

The point being, bootloaders are locked for security reasons, and to maintain separation between warranty concerns. That’s why most Android devices with unlockable bootloaders require OEM codes, such that warranties on those devices can be invalidated due to no longer being within the provider’s control. It would be moronic for any manufacturer to warranty anything that is not within their control.

People certainly don’t believe that corporate schilling when it comes to home computers and cars.

Also why are you letting ai do the thinking for you in that second link?

We need to organize to add more folks to the 14% of those covered under dental care and the 17.90% on pharmacare.

Our government serves the people not corpo lobbyists.

Liberal premier Susan Holt is throwing low income women under the bus.

Federal lobbying records show that insurance sector representatives lobbied decision-makers about pharmacare at least 53 times between April 28 and November 25, according to a statement from the group. The lobbyists represented the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association and several major companies, including Manulife, Canada Life, Sun Life, and Greenshields.

Three provinces and one territory — Manitoba, B.C., P.E.I. and Yukon — have signed pharmacare agreements with Ottawa since then.

Carney told reporters in September that his government intends to follow through with pharmacare deals covering every province and territory. However, there was no new money for the program in November’s federal budget.

“Insurance industry interests have taken full advantage of the ‘open door’ policy for corporate lobbyists adopted by the Liberal government, to the detriment of the millions of Canadians who are struggling to afford their medications,” said Nikolas Barry-Shaw, lead campaigner on pharmacare for the Council of Canadians.

In the lead-up to the election, Carney pledged to provide “dental care and pharmacare for everyone who needs it” and the federal Liberal Party platform stated that a Carney government would “protect dental care and pharmacare.”

At a campaign event in P.E.I. last year, just days before the election, Carney said in a speech: “Pharmacare will provide free contraceptives to nine million Canadians and diabetes medication to almost four million Canadians. Pierre Poilievre will eliminate it because he thinks it’s everyone for themselves.”

New Brunswick’s Liberal government under Premier Susan Holt — who promised free contraceptives in their 2024 election platform — has so far appeared lukewarm about pharmacare.

Dornan previously stated that an offer from the feds wasn’t enough to cover the province’s pharmacare costs and that “New Brunswickers are already relatively well covered.”

But diabetes patients and public health advocates say there is widespread hardship among low-income people forced to choose between groceries, rent, and life-sustaining treatments.

Canada is the only country in the world with a universal health care system but no universal coverage for medication outside of hospitals.

The court is killing the planet for rich white dudes.

Only 17.90% of Canada has access to pharmacare. It’s time roll the corrupt provincial politicians over the coals for allowing systematic murder to their constituents despite receiving taxpayer funds to expand healthcare.

The list of shame:

Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Fine apple for the App Store monopoly.
