Transplants are incredibly strict about you not just wanting to live, but doing everything you can in order to live. It is good that the transplant went to someone with a sense of self-preservation. Utter waste on the likes of her.
I can respect her. She was stupid, but hey, at least she was not a hypocrite. If there were more stupid people who weren’t hypocrites at the same time, life would be a little bit easier.
Post locked again. Please report rule breaking comments and we’ll take a look.
While you can and should still report disinformation, we’re keeping some comments up because there are great replies for WHY those comments are incorrect/disinformation, and it would be more effective to keep the context up.
So we’re still reviewing all reports, but not all reports will result in a removal.
Post reopened, please keep the instance rules in mind while commenting
[Lawyers for AHS] cited a national consensus statement — developed in November 2021 and subsequently accepted by all Canadian transplant programs — which found a 25-30 per cent mortality rate in patients infected with COVID post-organ transplant.
July 2022 - Court of King’s Bench, Justice Paul Belzil - “…subjecting clinical decisions to charter scrutiny would create “medical chaos,” with patients seeking “endless judicial review of clinical treatment decisions.””
November 2022 - Alberta Court of Appeals, Justices Frederica Schutz, Michelle Crighton and Dawn Pentelechuk - “Ms. Lewis’ COVID-19 vaccination status is not who she is,” the court wrote. “It is not an immutable personal characteristic … her choice not to get vaccinated against COVID-19 is just that — a choice.”
June 2023 - Supreme Court of Canada - refused to hear appeal.
Break them up if they wanna raise their rates. Maybe we can’t just switch people back to Shaw at this point, but we can divide Rogers Internet from Rogers Cable and Rogers Mobile.
Of all the terrible things Saskatchewan has, Sasktel is a shining beacon of what relatively decent telecoms could be. We all just hope our shit government doesn’t bow to their corporate overlords and sell it, as they had explored doing in the past.
Subsidizing homeowners with a taxpayer-funded cheque for $500 is regressive policy for a leftist party. Even if we’re means-testing it, there’s so many better ways that money could be spent.
Once again, as a renter dealing with year over year increases of hundreds of dollars per month, I get nothing.
You’re both right. This is terrible policy for a supposedly leftist party, and yet both the NDP and the Liberals are still better than the Conservatives.
What we need, desperately, is an openly socialist NDP who can push the window to the left. Even if they don’t win, they can force the Liberals to take on more openly policies just to avoid losing votes to them (remember, UKIP didn’t have to win a single seat to get Brexit; they just had to be enough of a threat to the Tories votes).
The NDP finally got a taste of power once they teamed up with the minority Liberal government but their biggest win is free dental care for children living in low-income households. It’s better than nothing I suppose, but I really don’t see that swaying any voters.
I think they are waiting to see what is going to happen to BC in the fall with the purposed legislation changes which will allow up to 4 units per parcel. I think they are waiting to see how this plays out before making a push for it on the federal stage during the 2025 elections.
Replacing a good 50% of single family houses with 2 to 4 units will help immensely in building the housing necessary to start taking the supply side of the issue without going the Doug Ford route of continuing sprawl to enrich your buddies. Hopefully they are smart enough to pair the new development with policy that increase the active and public transit infrastructure to start getting people off the road who don’t want to be on it.
Singh’s comments this week make it sound like he’s getting his campaign ready for 2025 and I have a feeling BC is going too be used as an example of NDP success. As a millennial, a BC resident, an NDP voter, and a urban planner, I’m all for it.
We could do something really radical and start socializing necessities. Sure, a lot of rich would complain, and plenty of poor people, until they realized it helped them. F the billionaires’ third vacation home.
Yeah but that bit of cash looks soooo good for the press. Free money right!? Just ignore the dumpster fire behind you, here’s your pittance, peasant. Now get back in line! crack
$500 benefit payment for low-income families to help them pay their rent. What the landlord does? raise the rent 50$/month and at the end of the year, the 500$ gov-funded money is in his pocket :)
