Great Spirit bless 🙏

Hello there! Well, it's back to the usual, cloudy and coat time as far as the weather goes. Happy Penguin Day, everyone 😁🐧🌞

I would like to share with you a post I happened upon on Quora. I believe this Note is of particular interest to the folks in Ontario.

What the 'F' is wrong with Americans who aren't on board with free healthcare? I'm Canadian, and I don't care that I pay extra taxes so that a little boy in Alberta can have open heart surgery, or an elderly man in Nova Scotia can get the medication he desperately needs. It's called taking care of your people. I'm glad I pay so that people can have a good quality of life.

It's called being a decent 'Fn' human being.

I agree 100% with the post I found on Quora, above.

I only have one YIPEAH on this topic.

Dear Premier Ford, Evil Clown-in-Charge of the Den of Pirates, Brigands, and Thieves in Ontario:

The Evil Clown-In-Charge 🤡 (S.K. novel) has caused and allowed our Ontario Healthcare System to degrade and slowly slide into the garbage dump. Now we have the least health coverage for the highest cost per person in Ontario, I wish we could get rid of this THIEF of a premier we have, a premier who is working his arse off to privatize our healthcare system before we lose it and have his friends make money from our healthcare needs.

After due consideration, I say it's time to call a Snap Election

Like Poilievre is no more than a dumb-dumb 🗿 parrot 🦜both are Trumpo The Typo's dildo gobblers, in my opinion.

Thank you 🙇‍♀️

This whole thing is beginning to sound like a nightmare, worse than that, it's more like all the dreamed-up conspiracy theories in history suddenly materializing into the real world. Or at least it appears like the whole cast in Ford's Follies and Trump's Trainwreck are being directed to make things they control go that way. Go ahead, glorify disaster! Hate! Kill! Explode, destroy, no mercy, no surrender, life ain't worth a spit.

WHAT'S THE SENSE OF RESISTING? Those who have lived all their lives under the thumb of misery mean nothing to those in power. They will take as many as needed to prevail. I'm not a fan of Iran, but maybe they are showing the world that survival in solidarity and support of their government, however repressive, is preferable to surrender. and by whose judgment, anyway? Were you there? No matter, it's called RESISTANCE. The French did it during the Second World War.

BREAKING NEWS:

American passengers from hantavirus-hit cruise ship arrive in Nebraska

Here's The Latest:

• Seventeen American passengers from the cruise ship at the center of the hantavirus outbreak — including at least one who tested positive — have arrived in Nebraska for evaluation at a highly specialized quarantine unit, officials said. With them is a British national who lives in the US.

• The virus, typically tied to rodents, may have passed from human to human aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship, the World Health Organization said. Three ship passengers have died since April 11 and a handful of others are sick.

• Hantavirus remains a low risk to the general public, the global health agency says, and this is "not another Covid-19," its chief said.

Iran claims its counter proposal to end war is 'reasonable' after Trump's rejection

Iran reportedly demands sovereignty over Strait of Hormuz and war reparations, as oil spikes on escalation fears.

VIDEO | Included:

Here's The Latest:

• Latest on talks: Iran's foreign ministry said its response to a US proposal to end the war, which state media reported included recognition of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, was "reasonable" and "generous." The terms were described yesterday by President Donald Trump as "totally unacceptable."

• Netanyahu weighs in: Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, according to a source and an Israeli official. Netanyahu, in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes,” said there was “work to be done” in Iran and acknowledged it retained many of the capabilities it had before the war started.

• Energy crisis: Oil prices are climbing after Trump’s dismissal of Iran’s latest terms, sparking fears of a fresh escalation in the conflict that would keep the vital Strait of Hormuz closed for even longer.

Trump is busying himself with everything except affordability ahead of the midterms

Addicted to feeding red meat to the base, Trump is ignoring the one issue that matters most.

President Donald Trump demonstrated a show of electoral force last week that gave off the appearance that he still has the juice. In Indiana’s widely-watched Republican primary on Tuesday, his quest for revenge against seven incumbent state senators who dared resist his edict to gerrymander the state’s electoral maps overwhelmingly succeeded. Some Republican pollsters said Trump’s ability to decisively oust Republicans who cross him indicates that, despite his recent breaks from some MAGA influencers, he still has a lock on his electoral base.

But looking ahead to November’s midterm elections, Trump’s performance in Indiana is hardly reason for Republican optimism. He still holds tremendous influence over his own party, no doubt. But that seems to be his sole focus these days, as he busies himself with positions designed to allay right-wing activists in policy areas, like immigration, and provide red meat for the base in ways that are likely to cost the party soft supporters. Meanwhile, he is perpetually ignoring the one thing that could save the GOP in November: delivering on affordability.

Even the way Trump is handling Iran suggests that his audience is far narrower than the general electorate:

His comically short-lived and ineffectual “Project Freedom” operation last week was the product of a desperate search for good news to sell the base.

WestJet accused of tricky manoeuvre to deny dozens of passengers compensation after flight cancellations

Experts suggest WestJet deliberately swapped planes to avoid paying compensation

Brad Vanderwilk and his girlfriend were midway through dinner on the last night of their Mexican vacation in March when their phones pinged — an email from WestJet saying their flight from Los Cabos to Edmonton the next day had been cancelled.

"We stopped eating because we're like, 'How are we gonna get home?'" said Vanderwilk. "We've got our kids at home. We both have to work. We went into a bit of a tizzy." Instead of a direct flight back, the couple were rerouted through Victoria, forced to stay overnight and arrived home 16 hours late.
