Private Downtown Eastside SRO hotel operators have long been vilified as "slum landlords," but the problem isn't the SROs, Jillian Skeet tells NorthernBeat News. It's a system that has no other place for its most severely addicted & mentally ill citizens. northernbeat.ca/opinion/podcas…

Over 250 days after the bird flu affected them and they are all healthy alive and well. These birds can live 50 to 70 years of age and our Government has ordered them to be culled. It’s disgusting that this hasn’t been stopped.

US Health Secretary RFK Jr. opposes the killing of the Canadian ostriches and offers resources and assistance in diagnostics and "therapeutic research infrastructure to rapidly capitalize on this scientific opportunity". Why has this offer been denied?👇🏻

RCMP arresting farmers, 'authorities' entering a private farm, and proceed to slaughter farm animals which happen to be ostriches this time. And 99% of Canada's politicians don't have a spine to even voice an opinion. Why? Where does it stop?

I am a licensed Canadian Veterinarian with 30 years of relevant knowledge, skill set and experience. In my professional opinion, there is no humane way to cull these birds due to their inherent behaviour: Heavy mass. Spindly legs that fracture easily. Prone to running without

Back to common sense. It’s not humane to let addicts deteriorate on the streets while presenting a threat to other people and ruining local business environments.

SOMEONE PULL THE FIRE ALARM ‼️ Parliament’s budget watchdog calls the Carney government’s deficits: ❌ “very alarming.” ❌ “stupefying, shocking” ❌”Unsustainable” “if you don’t change, this is done.” “Something is going to break.”

Liberal MP Vince Gasparro asks the PBO Jason Jaques whether Canada is better off than other countries. The answer was the same, this is unsustainable.
