activists concerned about the well being of palestinians in the west bank should be supporting annexation and trying to start a civil rights movement for palestinians within israel.

ok. i think some headlines got changed, and the canada part got cut. i don't know how the nhs sets drug prices.

it's not clear what this even means.

there is a regulatory body that sets drug prices in canada by comparing the prices in a small number of oecd countries. it is not a free market mechanism. eli lilly doesn't set the price, the government does.

in fact, the biggest reason that drug prices in canada (for patents) are so high is that they are so high in the united states.

generics are set at a fixed percent of the brand price.

the public service in this country is not too big, it's too small. services are woefully inefficient. they need more staff to reduce wait times.

if carney is insistent on wasting money on tanks, and doesn't want to go into debt, he should pay for it by increasing taxes on the people that voted for him.

this is not trump's fault.

we did this to ourselves.

labour action is an expected and normal consequence of inflation.

you gotta pay your staff fair wages, air canada. they can't be expected to eat your losses.

i woke up n the afternoon, and i spent all day and night applying for apartments. i stopped around midnight to put some salicylic acid on my face, which is currently cleansing my pores out. now i'm eating throgh the potatoes i got from the food bank.
