I argue one measure is the reduction in waittimes. This is the measure of fear in a patient, and resistance in the system to treat. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.680160918 Jun 2025 13:09 +0000at://did:plc:etj5mctggiz5etv7ym7fobhy/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrv3fwcr3k2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/theirg.bsky.social/post/3lqa7bql24k22SFT was a work of speechwriting art, gotta say. Felt the authenticity from the King when he spoke to reconciliation. But nothing on healthcare crisis. Also, do you know the # of communities evacuating due to wildfire yesterday & today, but nothing in the speech? This is Flin Flon. #CDNpoli28 May 2025 12:27 +0000at://did:plc:etj5mctggiz5etv7ym7fobhy/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqa7bql24k22https://bsky.app/profile/theirg.bsky.social/post/3lq5tolgv7224Settling in for the overpriced pomp and glitter of the SFT ready with my Bingo card courtesy @hilltimes.com & @pmazereeuw.bsky.social.

Quebec laughs out loud. Albertans, if you separate, you would have to pay taxes, more than the HST to pay for a govt. And you wouldn't have the benefit of Canadian public health, altho it seems unheeded. No more firefighting help. Separation won't fix your maga-influence problem.07 May 2025 13:13 +0000at://did:plc:etj5mctggiz5etv7ym7fobhy/app.bsky.feed.post/3loli2nwuuk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/theirg.bsky.social/post/3lolghbwack2fIndigenous art held by HBC must not be auctioned off, some of it likely stolen. If you know key people at CanadianTire, Urbana Corp, tell them to advocate HBC and courts for reconciliation now, the art must go home. Even museums would know better than to take stolen art.07 May 2025 12:45 +0000at://did:plc:etj5mctggiz5etv7ym7fobhy/app.bsky.feed.post/3lolghbwack2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/theirg.bsky.social/post/3lnwbayo46c2g@brucefanjoy.bsky.social you can do it Bruce!!29 Apr 2025 02:46 +0000at://did:plc:etj5mctggiz5etv7ym7fobhy/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnwbayo46c2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/theirg.bsky.social/post/3lnv5i3cptc2gVancouver it's been a very difficult few days.
