@blogdiva @heidilifeldman I am still at a loss that anyone on medicare supported Trump
but then I've always been amazed at voters going for people against their own interests
I know career academic sociologists who have been studying this for decades, and still don't have any answers

Wife is now sick, off shift as her idiot colleagues and LTC management demand in person meetings for evaluations, and unmasked as it's 'not a health setting' - last night had a resident sick, and fall with hip pain, ambulance was 90 minutes, and no fire crew as they were too busy
This is Nanaimo; NRGH, Campbell River and Victoria General are frantically calling for staff TOMORROW, too many ill

Having Kevin O'Leary and David Frum on as Cross Country Checkup guests on Canada becoming the 51st state is a new low for CBC. This isn't balanced or a nuanced discussion, the entire topic cannot be nuanced, it's a threat and should be treated as such
So glad to see hundreds, hopefully thousands contacting the show and the CBC Ombuds office with complaints
Normalizing this rhetoric is not the job of journalism

apparently Cross Country Checkup 'discussing' the 51st state threat is already the expected train wreck
Ian Hanomansing truly has to go, he is singularly diminishing the CBC

@hannu_ikonen amazing what a weekend of US shit does - our stores are putting up 'Produced by' signs, pulling US liquor off shelves, Tesla lots and repair shops being vandalized, people posting about ditching Amazon, cancelling US holidays
Fuck with Canadians, we fuck right back

Trump has done more to unify Canada against 'conservatives' than frankly any of us could, and my feeling this is deep, angry and lasting
Own a Tesla here? You are considered a true fuckhead, expect damage
Snowbirds selling their Florida and Arizona homes
And watch mutual aide get killed - if Canadian 1st responders feel threatened, they won't cross the border

Stand up to Trump and his herd of idiotic sycophants

channelling @pluralistic enshitification - tried to log into CIBC online banking, and locked out 'you have received a text with the reasons' - and no, because I don't own a cellphone, and that account doesn't have a phone number attached - tried to call the customer service line 'you need to access the app to attain an operator'
mind bending circle jerk
this affects people with disabilities, and those who don't want constant tracking in their lives

@ericjanusson oh, she's being doing that for over 2 years now, and files for compensation every month, which always get rejected, then files a union grievance who simply say claim it on taxes (useless twats) - then we fight with Revenue Canada every year as 'company should provide' - and spend months re-filing the compensation and rejection letters until they eventually give in
it's a circle jerk on health care workers, and they wonder why it's hard to recruit

In this 5th year of Covid my wife will once again be nurse double shifting both Christmas and New Years due to staff illness & disease breakout among residents requiring more nurses to adequately care. All the while her employer restricting PPE AND demanding less overtime due to 'costs'
The disconnect is staggering

@skinnylatte my nurse wife got issued new scrubs with no pockets - like WTF? her email to management was epic: 'might as well put us in a Mumu'
they literally carry around a pharmacy, trauma kit, and their lunch

if you took all the money private insurers spend to deny/delay claims, and threw it towards a universal health system, the US would literally have one of the best free health systems in the world, with money left over for other nice things like child care
but somehow no one can convince the population that $2000 in taxes for free and comprehensive, is better than $8000, where you still have huge co-pays and fight every single step
I will never understand humans

A health insurance CEO gets basically assassinated in New York - and it sparks the biggest SoMe explosion on the state of health care in the US, the AI fucked up refusals, the time limits on anesthesia, the fact the US spends more per capita than any other country, and has one of the worst outcomes
Yet the media is all about CEOs freaking out and hiring security
Maybe don't sell a product that people require, you end up denying anyway, and leave families in huge debt
