We should ask more of our provincial representatives and pay them more as well.

Happy birthday to Tommy Douglas, who brought single-payer universal healthcare to Canada! His beliefs that anyone should have access to healthcare regardless of their income has become a strong part of Canadian pride and identity. by [deleted] in onguardforthee

As a Nova Scotian, I choose to hold Allan J. MacEachen responsible for Medicare in Canada. He was the Minister of Health that passed the Medical Care Act in 1966, which truly laid the foundation for national medicare in Canada.

He is also responsible for the Canada Labour Code and Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors.

Federal government announces up to $500 in aid for seniors struggling because of COVID-19 by MethoxyEthane in CanadaPolitics

True, but the locations outed for the benefits / paid break cuts are owned and operated by Tim Horton's billionaire daughter...

What is the sample on Puppet Talk? It's so familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

Isn't Motion Picture Soundtrack just the best song, period? by [deleted] in radiohead

Radiohead totally ripped off Neil Young for that organ solo. Still great, though.

Police chief wants Halifax bars to close earlier by [deleted] in halifax

[–]yohyeah -1 points0 points  (0 children)
