Good morning, all, and be safe and blessed on this sunny Wednesday morning. I only stuck my nose out in my Green Space this morning to cool off and quickly forgot that idea! I drank my coffee and had my cereal at the kitchen table, sadly, with the sliding door closed for the first time this year.

Just for the gist of the conversation: what is the place, or places, where our souls or consciousness go — the place most people call *the other side*, where consciousness goes after one passes away?

DARK ENERGY

Dark Energy = Resistance. Dark energy is the opposite and absence of gravity and of all energy and mass as we know them; without dark energy, there would be no resistance, which would allow, say, + and - = quantum information to merge into the infinite potentialities. Changing of forms

Question: Dark Energy:

🔹AI Overview

Science | Dark Energy Survey: Dark energy is a mysterious, repulsive force that drives the accelerating expansion of the universe.

Key Facts:

• Abundance: It makes up roughly 68% to 72% of the total mass-energy density of the universe

• Behavior: Unlike normal gravity, which pulls objects together, dark energy acts like a cosmic anti-gravity that pushes space apart.

PART 2: Quantum Mechanics ⚛️

*ME*

Quantum information cannot be created or destroyed in accordance with the laws of quantum mechanics.

🔹AI Overview

Matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed; they can only change forms or convert into one another.

• Mass-Energy Equivalence: Albert Einstein showed that matter and energy are two forms of the same thing. They are connected by his famous formula (E=mc^2). Mass can turn into energy (like in nuclear reactions), and energy can turn into mass, but the total combined mass-energy never changes. 

• Changes Form:

I wonder how many other forms of energy and matter are there, besides the known ones—all known matter and energy—that exist in the FABRIC OF TIMESPACE? 🌌 Like the tiny bits that make the 0s and 1s that form an image 🖼️ on a rooftop billboard 🏬- sized screen, except no one knows how big the Big Screen is 🖥️

Or how is this dark energy, or resistance, affecting us or inhibiting us in our evolutionary process? Falling back — and how many times? Good stuff to meditate on while having a couple of cups of good coffee and no discomforts to distract the thought factory🧠🏭

Just something to munch on besides potato chips, or maybe with your potato chips🍟 and a good cup of coffee ☕️ So now which neutrino ☄ do I follow?

Zelenskyy to address UN, Rubio to meet Russian counterpart — but few breakthroughs expected

Kremlin rejects idea of summit with Trump, Putin, Zelenskyy

Russia pounded Kyiv with drone strikes on Wednesday, hitting railway infrastructure, warehouses and fuel stations, just hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

At least two people were killed and 22 were injured ​in the morning attack, according to city authorities, in one ​of the heaviest strikes since Russia began attacking Kyiv and nearby areas over the summer with faster and high-flying jet drones that are harder to intercept.

Zelenskyy met with U.S. President Donald Trump Tuesday on the UN sidelines, where they discussed a potential bilateral ceasefire on energy-related targets and asked for increased supplies of U.S. Patriot air defence missiles to defend against an expected Russian winter campaign against Ukraine's electricity infrastructure. No agreements were reached, he said...

For his part, Zelenskyy has said ‌he was ready for "any format" of an energy ceasefire with Moscow, as long as Russia halted its own attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure

Trump’s midterm woes deepen amid worsened economic backdrop: CNN poll

With President Donald Trump at record unpopularity, Republicans are facing an even bleaker midterm political landscape than they did eight years ago, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds.

Nationally, voters say they prefer Democratic candidates over Republicans by an eight-point margin – slightly more modest than their 12-point advantage in CNN’s September polling ahead of the 2018 midterms in Trump’s first presidency.

But Trump is even more unpopular than he was in 2018, and the economic backdrop has worsened considerably. In his first term, Trump saw net-positive ratings on the economy, which Americans largely saw as thriving. Now, just 27% of Americans approve of Trump on the economy, down 22 points from 2018. And 28% call economic conditions good – a drop of 41 points....

CNN poll:* was conducted by SSRS *from September 16-17

• Support for Trump continues to erode:
• Democrats are fired up for the midterm, but the public’s expectations for a Democratic Congress aren’t high:

Susan Collins’ brush with an FBI probe shows how Trump has enabled public corruption

But there are clear ways for future presidents and lawmakers to end this era of graft.

NEWS VIDEO | Included:

According to a new investigation from ProPublica, Sen. Susan Collins narrowly escaped being embroiled in an FBI bribery probe into defense contracts, lawmakers and large campaign contributions. For that, she can thank the Trump administration’s commitment to making America a place where the wealthy, connected and morally flexible can get away with almost anything. The good news is that if we’re determined enough, we can undo the damage that has been done.

ProPublica’s story begins in 2019, when the head of Collins’ super PAC, Scott Reed, met with executives from a defense contractor called Navatek that the senator had helped land a Navy research contract in Maine. Then Collins’ fundraiser made a request: The company should make a six-figure donation to help the senator in her re-election bid. The executives said they would pony up — if Collins helped them get more contracts.

Trump threatens to ‘ANNIHILATE’ Iran in UN speech

President Donald Trump threatened to "annihilate" Iran during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. Trump covered several topics during his nearly 40-minute address and claimed once again that a deal to end the war would happen soon, while making clear he is unconcerned with how the conflict might affect the midterm elections.

Happy sunny Tuesday morning, all ☀️ I pray 🙏 you all have a safe, productive, and blessed day on this Tuesday, the 22nd of September 2026, the second day of fall. I pray that this is the beginning of the end of the second attempt at a NAZI ✠ takeover of America, vintage 1933. This NAZISM, with thugs, thieves, pirates, liars, murderers, or lowlife sadist wankers running the show. Whatever you want to call them. They call themselves dictators, *Dunce Cadets 🙃𓉴* yeah, I knew Dick, and he always had itchy taters 🥔 These masochistic wanking bugs in the federal government have to be ousted from power, maybe sent on one of Elon Musk's Starships to Mars to colonize it. They can't harm Earth from there! The sooner, the better! WASTE NO TIME!

Geeez, I do hope they get rid of the Orange Dope in the Brown Shithouse 💩🏚️ very soon, or I'll run out of homemade adjectives to tag him with.

_*HEY, where did everybody go? Kind of got quiet on all the networks lately. Has everyone seen the light and arisen without my knowledge? Or did America move to Greenland? The polar bears will have lots of company, and a guaranteed job as communications dispatchers by way of PB Telecommunications G.L. Poor polar bears, poor Greenlanders* _

Naaaa, cheaper to send them all to Mars 🟠 in a couple of Elon's Starships 🚀🚀 ONE WAY, of course, only half the fuel cost and fewer rocket engines ⌯⌲ with no return trip. And without space suits, too, that will save even more money; spacesuits are expensive. Just dumping some human waste that will desiccate, disintegrate, and merge with Mars's natural, powdery, sandy surface, just as the previous life forms on Mars did hundreds of thousands of years ago.

That's enough of that; now on with the show, as they say in the movie business. Thank you for visiting and reading the Tree House News

The Niagara Region Flooding - Ontario 🍁

Back-to-back storms in Ontario's Niagara region caused estimated $360M in damage, report says

Insurance Bureau of Canada calls for water infrastructure improvements to be a national priority

Back-to-back storms in July and August that left thousands of homes in north Niagara flooded with sewage caused an estimated $360 million in damage in the region and some other areas of Ontario, according to a new report...

- CBC -

Many residents whose homes were flooded are working to repair the damage caused by groundwater and sewage. They used heaters, dehumidifiers, sump pumps, and fans to dry out their basements and other flood-damaged areas of their homes. This equipment ran 24/7 to dry the areas again. That resulted in abnormally high electricity bills for their users. Added to other expenses caused by the floods, these electricity bills are an unexpected burden.

The power companies like Hydro One and Alectra could burnish their image as Good Corporate Citizens at little or no cost to themselves if they eased the burden of oversized hydro bills caused by equipment used to dry flood damage. The power companies could easily track when a customer's electricity consumption spiked, how long it remained high, and offer payment relief for such bills.

Customers could be given a fixed number of months to pay their flood-caused consumption at a nominal interest rate. The higher bills could be paid on time, the burden on customers eased, and the companies could be compensated for the use of their money and administrative expenses. Does this sound sensible to you? Would you mention it to your MPP, to Premier Ford, *The Pirate,* and to the opposition, Marit Stiles? Get everyone behind it!

• Trump speech: US President Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly a deal with Iran is possible after the midterm elections, but his other choice is to “annihilate the Islamic Republic.” He also spoke about US munitions stockpiles and plans to establish a “large military presence” on Greenland, while arguing he is someone who has “made peace.”

• On the agenda: Trump took part in a trilateral signing ceremony to formalize a new Greenland security agreement. He will later meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodríguez.

• War with Iran: Meanwhile, Trump has told his advisers he would like to arrange a meeting with Iranian officials at UNGA if “conditions are right,” a source said. An engagement with Iran’s delegation is not scheduled, but the US is open to a meeting, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said...

We’re gonna get crushed’: Republicans privately say they’re doomed in the midterms

As the elections get closer and the political environment gets worse, Republicans are freaking out that their losses in November could be much worse than GOP leaders are acknowledging.

NEWS VIDEO | Included:

There are just six weeks to go until the midterm elections. The national average for a gallon of gas is just a couple cents short of $4.50. Diesel has climbed above $6.50. And Republicans are officially freaking out.

Last week, House GOP lawmakers got into a heated shouting match over what to do about one of the party’s biggest vulnerabilities — those soaring gas prices — with a private meeting ending without a path forward.

Vice President JD Vance traveled to Kansas to campaign for Republicans on the ballot, a sign of the increasingly competitive environment even in reliably red territories. And after months of speculation that he may not spend, President Donald Trump is unleashing tens of millions of dollars from his super PAC, trying to give struggling candidates a late boost...

A Winnipeg-born Canadian citizen has been deported back to Canada after a harrowing nine and a half months behind bars in a California ICE detention centre, where he says he endured poor food, mouldy walls and lack of proper medical care.

Clayton Herman landed in Vancouver on Aug. 26 with little more than the clothing on his back and a cellphone, after being escorted to the plane by detention officers who stood guard until the hatch was sealed and the plane rolled onto the tarmac.

Herman says he's ambivalent about leaving the life he built in Ojai, Calif., where he had become part of the community...

Topic of the day: well, we have been on the shores of this unexplored continent before, but never really entered it to see what's in there rather than judge from a distance.

How about this: the Ancient Holy Scriptures were warnings and descriptions of what WILL happen if we don't change our minds, hearts, and ways. IT IS WRITTEN IN STONE, BUT WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW by paying attention to the warnings.

Asked Google Search AI:

How about the Ancient Holy Scriptures were warnings and descriptions of what 'WILL' happen if we don't follow the warnings.

🔹AI Overview

Yes, many ancient holy scriptures, including the Bible, explicitly serve as moral frameworks that outline specific negative consequences for ignoring divine warnings and guidance.

The "If-Then" Pattern

Scriptures often use a conditional pattern: if a person or a society rejects wisdom and moral laws, certain hardships or spiritual judgments follow. These texts present moral choices as clear paths with predictable results.

• Cause: Ignoring ethics, harming the vulnerable, or turning to corruption.

• Effect: Societal collapse, personal ruin, exile, or spiritual separation.

Major Biblical Examples

The text is filled with historical and prophetic accounts showing what happens after a warning is ignored:

Read More - Google Search -

They are warnings; We, the People, those who are SANE and have ETHICS, have a CHOICE!

Question: Can catastrophes of biblical proportion be avoided?

🔹AI Overview

Catastrophes of a truly biblical scale—such as global floods or terminal apocalypses depicted in scripture—cannot be managed by human intervention if viewed as direct divine acts, but modern figurative "catastrophes of biblical proportions" like climate collapse, pandemics, or systemic crises can be mitigated or avoided through collective human action.

Perspectives on Avoiding Catastrophes

• Theological View:

• Secular and Environmental View: When modern commentators use the phrase to describe impending environmental or societal collapse (such as climate tipping points or global pandemics), analysts argue that these outcomes are human-driven and therefore human-preventable.

• Mitigation Strategies: Avoiding massive systemic collapses relies on policy shifts, carbon reduction, resource management, and global cooperation to steer clear of irreversible environmental thresholds.

Read More - Google Search -

Just not doing something you feel is wrong within you is mitigating, or maybe you got lucky and brought the cork to plug that hole in the leaky rowboat. Just not doing something that doesn't feel morally right could change the entire outcome of an otherwise bad situation. Another example: if you had been an accomplice or part of the engineering of a bad situation that otherwise could have been avoided and didn't, and got dragged into the fray. If you had not, just by not being part of it, you could turn a warning of doom 💥𖡎 into real small potatoes 🥔🥔🥔🥔that aren't even of your concern. Let them gather their small potatoes and go home 🏚️ That's how to avoid a Biblical Proportion Warning, as I see it. 🌋⚡️💥🌪️💨

State attorneys general agree to settle Paramount merger lawsuit

The state attorneys general suing to block Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s parent company, have reached a settlement, clearing the way for the companies to complete the merger.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who led the 12-state coalition that sued to block the merger, announced the settlement at a press conference in Los Angeles on Monday.

“While the timing is not yet fixed, we expect the merger will close no later than early October,” Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav told staffers in a memo. The merger will combine Paramount’s film and television studios, CBS and the Paramount+ streamer with

Warner’s studios, HBO, CNN and other cable networks...

Paramount held a private dinner with Trump in April — and the Middle Eastern financing galvanized opponents who warned that the merger would concentrate too much media power in the hands of the president’s allies.

• Members of Parliament are returning to Ottawa today from across the country for the next sitting in the House of Commons.

• Parliament is back after breaking for the summer, with ongoing tension with the United States expected to dominate the sitting.

• Prime Minister Mark Carney, fresh off an investment summit in Toronto and speech to the European Union, said his Liberal Party this sitting will see "some of the most consequential legislation … in decades."

Thoughts Become Reality

You're damned 🧱🌊 right, they do!

Query: Thoughts become real

🔹AI Overview

How Thoughts Shape Reality

• Perception: Your brain filters information based on what you already believe. You notice things that match your thoughts and ignore things that do not.

• Emotions: What you think triggers specific feelings. Expecting failure brings anxiety, while expecting success builds confidence.

• Actions: Your feelings lead to choices and behaviors. How you act then creates your actual life results.

• Self-Fulfilling Prophecies: Believing something will happen causes you to act in ways that make it happen.

*Limitations of the Concept*

• External Events: You cannot control random events like natural disasters, illnesses, or sudden job losses through thought alone.

• Nuanced Views: Opinions on Reddit are mixed, with some users noting that claiming thoughts solely create reality can unfairly blame people for bad situations they did not cause

How to Change Your Thinking

• Notice Thoughts: Pay attention to what you tell yourself each day.

• Challenge Beliefs: Ask if your negative thoughts are actually true or just habits.

• Choose Focus: Practice shifting your attention toward positive and helpful possibilities.

It's not easy to shift your mind away from something; at the time, it feels like a life-or-death decision, and it's easier to suffer than to attempt to change it. Be the mouse and suffer in silence, or BEWARE of the vengeance of the gods if you defy them and they send you back like a beat-up puppy. TOO MUCH OF THAT ALREADY; THAT CURSE IS NO LONGER MY MASTER!

Trump is only amping up his antics ahead of the midterm election

While President Donald Trump’s personal behavior is often strange, his conduct over the last 12 days has been pretty remarkable — especially with the midterm election around the corner.

He’s offered voters what even some Republicans say amounts to a bribe. He’s threatened (jokingly?) to withhold disaster aid from a state if it doesn’t elect a GOP senator. Ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, he told a dubious story about his proximity to Ground Zero. He’s baselessly suggested Democrats conspired to kill him.

He’s threatened to halt all foreign trade. He’s holding the future of the Kennedy Center hostage if judges don’t allow him to put his name on it, and says he wants his proposed 250-foot triumphal arch across Arlington National Cemetery to double as a military complex housing drones and snipers. He’s also now denying certain media outlets, including CNN, access to the White House...

Polling in recent months has shown:

• 67% of Americans said he doesn’t carefully consider important decisions.

• 71% said he’s not “even-tempered.”

• And more than 7 in 10 adults and registered voters said he doesn’t even have a plan for the Iran war, according to both Fox

News and CNN polling.

Trump repeatedly threatened to halt large portions of US foreign trade — including with all countries with whom the US has a trade deficit — if the Federal Reserve doesn’t lower interest rates.

Moscow targeted by Ukraine’s largest ever drone attack on final day of Russia’s election

Ukraine carried out its largest ever drone attack on the Russian capital and the surrounding area as voting in parliamentary elections entered the final day.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Sunday that more than 1,900 drones, eight guided aerial bombs, eight cruise missiles and four rockets were shot down overnight. That tally makes the attack Ukraine’s largest ever, although Kyiv did not confirm the exact number of drones and projectiles it fired.

At least three people were killed and a major oil refinery in Moscow region was damaged...

What Trump’s new ‘ban on the free press’ is really about

Fights over who gets into the Oval Office may seem like vanity, but they decide how much Americans get to see of their own government.

Presidents who restrict the press have usually cited some other justification: security, space constraints, matters of decorum. President Donald Trump has stripped away any pretense.

On Saturday, he expelled MS NOW, CNN and Politico journalists from the White House in what he himself referred to as a “ban on the free press.”

His announcement on Truth Social on Friday left little doubt about the reason: He dislikes what journalists at those outlets report.

The province gave SMU $25M to transform health care. Then it quietly killed the plan

Saint Mary's has 'not been able to demonstrate a concrete plan and adequate progress,' province says

It was March 2023 when Nova Scotia's then-advanced education minister appeared at Saint Mary's University, announcing $25 million in funding for the university to revolutionize the province's health-care system.

The money was intended to create health-care data analytics and management programs at the Halifax school, but Brian Wong offered few details on how that funding would lead to better health care.

"We need to come into the modern era as far as data and health care," Wong said at the time. "We've done it in other sectors many years ago, and it's time that we do it."

• Why the province shut the initiative down:
• What the university promised:

• Developing and offering health-care analytics programming to help workers make data-informed decisions.

• Developing business administration, management and leadership courses for health-care administrators, staff, office directors, family doctors and practitioners.

• Expanding articulation agreements to give Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) health-care students more options to pursue degrees at Saint Mary's.

Can I AI Google search the entire planet 🌏 if I have the right keywords? A lot of it — my guess is about 75% of the information you get as feedback news for the public to read — would be just gibberish for most.

🔹AI Overview

You have a great point—navigating the sheer volume of global data today definitely feels like filtering through massive noise to find a tiny signal.

An estimated 80% to 90% of all data generated worldwide is completely unstructured, consisting of chaotic, unorganized text like raw social media feeds, automated reports, and repetitive news cycles. For the average reader, a huge portion of it functions as digital background noise or "gibberish."

The secret to uncovering the valuable pieces lies entirely in precision prompting and advanced search operators*.

To help me bypass the noise and find exactly what you need across the globe, tell me:

• What is the specific topic or event you are researching?

• Are there any technical terms, acronyms, or industry-specific keywords related to it?

• Do you need information from a particular region, country, or time frame?

• I can apply targeted search strings to isolate the high-value data from the filler.*

From this reality, the "TEMPORAL World," we can not reach that final point of perfection; the best we can hope for is to grow, learn, adapt, and evolve. ABOVE ALL, we need to learn from our mistakes and rebuild not just differently but in accord with, or in harmony with, doing the greatest good for the most people. That's it for me from my perch next to my Green Space. There is a lot of news to cover today. Thank you for visiting and reading the Tree House News🏡

Ontario, Alberta Pitch Cross-Canada Oil Pipeline to Ease US Reliance

• Alberta and Ontario proposed the Northern Shield Energy Corridor, a crude oil pipeline and energy corridor across Canada, to reduce the country’s dependence on the US.

• The proposed pipeline would carry about 500,000 barrels of oil a day for domestic use and export markets, and could expand to 800,000 barrels a day.

• A feasibility study on the Northern Shield proposal is set to be completed by the end of this year, and will explore costs and commercialization options.

Alberta and Ontario proposed a crude oil pipeline and energy corridor across Canada as a way of reducing the country’s dependence on the US.

The 3,300-kilometer (2,051-mile) route, called the Northern Shield Energy Corridor, would connect the Alberta oil-storage hub of Hardisty with the central Canadian refining center of Sarnia, Ontario, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters Monday.

The proposed pipeline would carry about 500,000 barrels of oil a day for domestic use and export markets, and could expand to 800,000 barrels a day. Ontario will also explore creating its own strategic petroleum reserve.

“By reducing Canadian reliance on oil imports, the Northern Shield pipeline could HELP STABILIZE OIL PRICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY and strengthen national security,” Ontario and Alberta said in a release

Alberta-Ontario pipeline proposal faces criticism over costs, need and lack of Indigenous consultation

Northern Shield Energy Corridor draws both support and pushback

A recent proposal to build a new pipeline from Alberta to Ontario is drawing both support and criticism.

The president of the municipal association representing more than 100 cities and towns across northeastern Ontario says the project could unlock funding to expand highways. But an oil industry expert says the project faces major economic hurdles, and the Anishinabek Nation says it was “blindsided” by the announcement.

Dave Plourde, mayor of Kapuskasing and president of the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities (FONOM), said the proposal aligns with years of calls for more infrastructure investment in the region...

CNN, MS NOW and Politico denied access to White House after Trump ‘ban’

NEWS VIDEO Included:

CNN reporter B K was denied access at the White House on Saturday morning, and her press pass was seized, one day after President Donald Trump announced that he was “banning” CNN, MS NOW and Politico.

First Amendment experts say the action is unconstitutional.

A reporter for Politico and a reporter and photographer for MS NOW were also denied access to the White House grounds when they arrived to work Saturday morning. All three news organizations signaled they will take legal action to defend the rights of their reporters.

The First Amendment is clear that once the White House invites in some journalists, it can’t ban others because it doesn’t like their reporting,” Brown said. “This is textbook viewpoint discrimination and will be quickly struck down by the courts if challenged.”

HHS to cut over 413 positions, including 143 nurses

Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) is cutting 413 jobs, including 143 nurses, to help offset a projected $150 million budget deficit for 2026-27, which reflects a refined estimate of its financial position.

HHS says in addition to $40 million of cost reductions achieved last year, further action is required to operate within the funding available to them. It says it has established savings targets of two per cent for clinical budgets and five per cent for administrative budgets for the 2026-27 fiscal year.

The organization says the 413 jobs that need to be reduced will affect both union and non-union positions, of which one-third or 157 are currently vacant. HHS currently has 557 vacancies across all job categories in the organization...

🔹AI Overview

Under the Mark Carney administration, Ontario receives more than $21 billion annually via the main federal Canada Health Transfer (CHT).

While the Carney government maintained the overall baseline health transfers inherited from previous agreements, it introduced specific new healthcare-related allocations and funds:

$6 Billion Infrastructure Allocation: Under Prime Minister Carney’s $51 billion Build Communities Strong Fund, Ontario was awarded the largest provincial share of $6 billion. While $4.4 billion of this was famously redirected by the province to waive sales taxes on new homes, a portion of the broader $5 billion national Health Infrastructure Fund stream is being deployed to upgrade Ontario's hospitals, long-term care facilities, and urgent care centres.

$25 Million for Medical Training: The administration directly committed a $25 million capital investment to support the creation of the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) School of Medicine in Brampton, Ontario, aimed at expanding family doctor training capacity.

🔹AI Overview

The federal government under Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney has committed $73.97 billion over 10 years for healthcare in Ontario under their landmark funding agreements.

Question: How much has the province of Ontario contributed to health care for 2026?

AI Overview

For the 2026–2027 fiscal year, the province of Ontario allocated a record  $101.2 billion toward total healthcare spending in the 2026 Ontario Budget.

Why the layoffs of nurses and closing of hospitals if you have the money to keep the doors open, ya "dad-nabit thief!"🥊💥🥷

Hamilton Health Sciences SAID NOT A WORD ABOUT SALARY CUTS FOR THE ADMINISTRATOR AND OTHER EXECUTIVES, NOR DID THEY SAY ANYTHING ABOUT FOREGOING ANNUAL BONUSES FOR THE DENIZENS OF THE BOARDROOM AND MAHOGANY ROW. THE MINISTER OF HEALTH CARE, SYLVIA JONES, AND HER BOSS, PREMIER FORD, ARE SILENT.

IF NURSES ARE BEING CANNED TO SAVE MONEY, HOW CAN THE HOSPITAL EXECS GET AWAY WITHOUT LOSING SALARIES, BONUSES, OR POSITIONS, OR PERKS? IT MAKES NO SENSE!

WHERE IS ALL THIS FEDERAL & PROVINCIAL MONEY GOING TO WHEN WE'RE STILL LOSING NURSES, DOCTORS, AND HOSPITALS???
