George Clooney has yet to give one damn dime to #HarrisWalz2024 so he and his movie can just f__k right off. He stabbed Biden in the back and even if everything has worked out, Clooney is dead to me. Forever

Thank you for @lovettejallow for what you said in that space. I’m even mad people said “Chris Rock maybe didn’t write the joke, it might be @TheAcademy ” because that makes it worse! Because Jada Pinkett Smith made #OscarsSoWhite important in 2016 and changed the #Oscars forever

Some past history on Jada Pinkett Smith who brilliantly called out @TheAcademy for #OscarsSoWhite in 2016 and got ridiculed for it FROM the stage by then Host Chris Rock. Other people had before—no progress—until she did #Oscars2022 #oscars

@alandrummond2 I can’t believe you’d vote for someone who has promised to slash health care budgets, and open up gun laws and allow back all restricted weapons. This is unreal. And most of your retirement funds are already in RRSPs, TFSAs, your home. Plus the lifetime exemption of $250k…

Friends, please spread the word about Frank Stronach since he spent a LOT of time in the US #HorseRacing “ ⁦ @PeelPolice ⁩ are appealing to members of the public to come forward if they have any relevant information or may also be victims”

Canadian businessman Frank Stronach charged with sex assaults dating to the 1980s

‘Mr. Stronach categorically denies the allegations of impropriety which have been brought against him,’ his lawyer Brian Greenspan told the Star on Friday night.

We could have vaccinated everyone, of every age, male and female, a decade ago, but we decided to pretend HPV was only about cervical cancer, and this number would be lower now, and it's only going to rise. Stupidest health decision ever.

People are simply not getting it, there is no “capacity” to expand the healthcare system. Human beings are needed, and it doesn’t matter how much money you pay if they are too tired to keep working or if they get sick (from any other disease) and they die #covid19 #cdnpoli
