TODAY'S BREAKING NEWS and DISCUSSION:

THE ONTARIO HEALTH PROGRAM IN CODE RED!

Good morning to all! I pray that today will be a better day than yesterday. Be grateful for what you have. There are many greedy thieves about, who would be glad to sell your soul to the devil, Lucifer himself. Whatever you imagine Lucifer to be. What about the complete 100% reversal of where you are now on the world stage? Enjoying the comfort level you have acquired in life, no matter whose backs you had to step on to get there, "I serve number #1 first! I deserve it! " she/he said!

Then you might find yourself going down into that dark, creepy, dank, wormy, arachnid-infested hellhole of carrion meat-eating creatures with batwings, and fire-blowing dragons, and all that stuff. Whatever you imagine it to be, so shall it be. That could work the other way, too.

It's called the unconscious, and how do we know that this short life consciousness we possess is but one microsecond etched on the fabric of time and space, waiting for another chain reaction to trigger it again? Now I'm rambling. Naw, I'm a writer, and writers have imaginations; if they didn't, it would be hard to sell a blank book. Or a, dum - dum book 😉

I have another long query into ONTARIO HEALTH CARE, as it appears that the situation has gotten worse. No matter how many money infusions we give the patient, the patient remains anemic. WHO OR WHAT'S EATING ALL THE LIFE BLOOD? GET THEM OUT, LOOK AFTER THE PATIENT FIRST!

Question: I thought the province and federal government had made an agreement

🔹AI Overview

You are likely thinking of the April 1st deadline, by which the federal government mandated that all provinces—including Ontario—publicly fund the services of nurse practitioners to align with the Canada Health Act. However, Ontario missed this deadline, meaning some patients still pay out-of-pocket for primary care.

The broader federal-provincial health-care deals have a more complex history, but recent developments have unfolded on multiple fronts:

Federal Mandate and Nurse Practitioners

"HUH???"

The Deadline:

Current Status: Ontario chose to miss this deadline, delaying the rollout of a fully publicly funded model for NPs. The province will be penalized on its federal health transfers if compliance is not met by April 2027.

Advocacy: Nursing organizations like the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) are actively pushing the Ontario government to implement the funding model and stop out-of-pocket patient charges. Recent Provincial Investments

Of course, this is where the money disappeared. WE ALL KNOW BY NOW THERE'S NOTHING MORE Ford would rather do than kill OHIP and privatize everything. He would close our public healthcare system that is paid for by our tax dollars and give the work to his money-bags friends. His pal, Mike Harris, owns multiple long-term care facilities that receive payments from OHIP to provide whatever level of care a profit-making business cares to provide to the residents of the homes. He wants us to PAY for our health care through our anus rectum (‿ˠ‿), but there's only one big fat butt 🕳️ hole that big in this province! That's all we need in Canada is another Trump, Trump North, or Trump Lite!

C'mon Folks, IT'S TIME FOR THE PICKET SIGNS and to a little marchin'. At least it's warmer weather for that now. And if need be, I'll join you all with my lawn chair and picket sign of my own. The last time I did that was in support of my brothers and sisters. I was living on the res at the time. If the TV news takes notice of the protests, you can bet that Little Trump Lite will see them. Raise organized and legal hell! It's your healthcare system, too!*_

There is no reason we couldn't be doing the same as B.C. by hiring more Doctors and Nurses from south of the border. WHY NOT, MR. FORD, instead of firing them and closing hospitals? Now it's time for me to go get chilled out and wipe away the tears over all this inhumanity to humanity stuff. It's going to get worse, the greed and violence, so I know I need to be ready, along with you and the leader of the opposition, Marit Stiles. We can do this!

‘Senators are not happy’: How Trump pushed the GOP to the breaking point this week

President Donald Trump’s relationship with Senate Republicans has hit a new low after a revolt over his $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund surfaced deep divisions over the direction of the party and its priorities.

Trump and his close allies were fuming over the rebuke on Friday, while on Capitol Hill, GOP senators and aides blasted the fund as the latest in a series of damaging White House blunders that they increasingly fear will cost them control of the chamber, according to five people familiar with the conversations. “The president is making it as hard as humanly possible,” said one senior GOP Senate aide. “This is a true unified front. All 53 Republican senators are not happy right now.”...

‘He’s pushing it too far’: The week Republicans told Trump no

GOP lawmakers broke with the president on Iran, a compensation fund that could go to Jan. 6 rioters and his ballroom renovation — and they are increasingly bleak about November.

VIDEO | Included:

The same week that President Donald Trump proved his grip on the Republican base by wiping out two incumbent lawmakers in their primaries, congressional Republicans discovered something that had eluded them for much of the past 16 months: the word no.

“The president had a good week electorally, but he’s really hurting himself,” one House Republican told MS NOW, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about the president. “He’s not endearing himself with any of us in the Capitol, that’s for sure.”

The flash point was a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund to compensate political allies and Jan. 6 defendants — including those convicted of assaulting police officers. As soon as its existence became public, Republicans on Capitol Hill began breaking ranks...

CANADIAN NEWS:

Can a province just decide to leave Canada? Here's what the law says

Legal process for leaving Canada is laid out in a 1998 Supreme Court ruling and subsequent Clarity Act

With the possibility of two separation referendums on the horizon, Canadians could be forgiven for wondering what would happen if voters in one province or another decide they no longer want to be a part of Canada.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has pledged that her province would hold a referendum in the fall essentially asking if voters want a second binding referendum on separation at a later date.

In Quebec, Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon — who could be premier after October's election — has promised a secession referendum in his province during a first mandate...
