I think a large part of the misunderstanding & some peoples outright refusal to broaden our healthcare system is due to headlines like this.

The headline should be more like: "Providing these medications through an expanded Medicare program could save the system money". #healthcare #CBC #messaging

Fantastic video on why we continue to support the development of unsustainable places. Sadly, the people who would most benefit from this, won't watch it.

Goodbye landline. I couldn’t remember when I last used you, so it was time to disconnect. Don’t worry, I’ll still hoard the actual phone “just in case” #phone #landline

A few locations have small islands designed for people more so than cars. Montreal is one such location but still suffers from all of the same issues. Thank you @notjustbikes for the excellent assessment. P.S. Anyone taking you to Décarie for orange julep is just messing with you #urbanism #cycling #PublicTransportation

I've been using it for the past few days. Good integration. Nice to be able to use proton as a local drive.

Thank you Proton team!

For those who may not be aware, you can digitally borrow books from your local library 📚 🎤 Your library is publicly funded and available to everyone.

Libraries purchase licenses from publishers, who in turn pay authors. Not a perfect system, but writers are compensated.

If we want investment in public services, we should both support and use those services.

Edit: Apps required for access are available at no cost to users.

I'm a supporter of local libraries, and have been using digital services for years to borrow books. I've been wondering how writers are compensated for digital borrowing and found this great post.

Thank you @janefriedman

Thank you, #Canada, for being the first of the #G20 states to get serious about eliminating fossil fuel subsidies, and for urging the other G20 states to do the same.

(#paywalled)

"Such subsidies hit records last year…Major world economies…surpassed $1 trillion in subsidies for the first time in 2022. That’s a fourfold increase over subsidy levels in 2010, the year after G-20 nations agreed to phase out support for fossil fuels."
