Funding Changes Might Leave BC's Long-COVID Patients in the Lurch via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...

Today, the products my employee unpacked and shelved for my store cost 10-20% more than they had in January. That money "collected" is from ME, a shopkeeper in a family-owned small business. Me, a veteran, Me, a senior citizen. Me, someone who can't afford to "eat" the tariffs.

Chasing perfection shouldn’t come at the cost of access. 1:1 care may be ideal, but for thousands with #LongCOVID, good care now is what’s urgently needed. Dr. Arseneau’s clinic works. Dismantling it helps no one. #LifeLineBC @brendavancouver.bsky.social @josieosborne.bsky.social

This clinic model got me back to work after Long COVID. Now the government is cutting access. That threatens care for rural, remote and homebound patients. Please take a minute to speak up and fill out the survey: chng.it/CSZVF6zBtt #lifelinebc #LongCOVID #MECFS #bcpoli

Government of BC is now on BlueSky. Give them a follow.

BC residents with ME/CFS, #LongCOVID & #Fibromyalgia risks losing access to virtual care on Sept 1. MSP wants to cap group visits at 20 patients/hour—driving costs up & care down. 📢 Tell your MLA: Pause these cuts now! www.lifelinebc.ca/campaign #SaveBC_CLMF #LifeLineBC #ProtectVirtualCareBC

Just off topic, @thetyee.ca has been publishing honest and excellent journalism for years, and they deserve the support of Canadians. There are other independent outlets as well, and it's worth your time to find them and support them too. It's also critically important right now, more than ever.

At this point, Karoline Leavitt’s press briefings should come with a Surgeon General’s warning: “May cause dizziness, gaslighting, and a complete detachment from reality.”

I want to respect everyone’s mental health, but when exactly will it be okay to talk about the ongoing & future harms that #COVID infections cause?

When will Health Authorities learn to listen to medical professionals?

(🚨) WAIT... WHAT?? Agents of Red Sea co-conspirators and Trump business partners MBS, MBZ, and el-Sisi were secretly in the White House as Trump agreed to go to war with their enemy Iran? How is this not the big news right now? How is this not bigger than every other story major media is covering?

Shocker! (Not)

After seeing what Elon did to Twitter, my confidence in a Tesla-run taxi service is about the same as my confidence in an drive-thru orthopedic surgery start-up run by Arby’s.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Canadians, please consider signing.

Growing anti-immigration sentiment in Canada is almost entirely driven by political leaders. It is not a grassroots-up issue that leaders are begrudgingly responding to. Leaders are whipping up resentment against immigrants, out of nowhere

Interesting that a single female breast is censored, but not a guillotine. Violence OK, Human body evil. @bsky.app sort out the censorship of art, it’s embarrassing that the work of Leonardo, Michelangelo & now Delacroix are smeared by you.

OTTAWA – Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says a Canadian chartered flight will leave Jordan this evening with more than 100 people on board.

A British Columbia professor who is trapped in Iran says he's been told by officials there's "almost nothing" the Canadian government can do to help him and his family.

More than 190 firefighters in Greece are battling a series of wildfires on the island of Chios, where officials declared an emergency and a dozen communities were evacuated over the weekend, according to state media. The authorities are investigating the fires as arson. https://trib.al/ls1kGAZ

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

OMG

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Watching so many Democrats wave away sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo—after spending years watching Republicans wave away rape and sexual assault allegations against Trump—is depressing. Saying that serious allegations of sexual abuse don't matter is morally repugnant.

War hurts people. citizens, soldiers, civil infrastructure, mental health. The justifications come pouring out of the TV. Its all BS. "Defence" doesn't take place on the opposite side of the planet. That is "offence". the justifications come pouring out of social media... BS War hurts people

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

Truth Social started experiencing global outages within minutes of Donald Trump posting details of a US military strike on Iran.
