A Xmas greeting for St. John's East MP @Joanne_NL,
Can you ask Santa to bring some windows & doors for these housing units? Some have been in this condition for 15 months+
We were hoping for a community centre but beggars can't be choosers.

Since 2010, profits of top health insurers have hit a collective $371 billion.
$120 billion was funneled shareholders.
Meanwhile, half of US adults say they can’t afford an unexpected $500 medical expense.
We do not have to keep living like this.

When I look back into December this time last year, sadly it was about tent city, homelessness, and rising costs. Did government actually accomplish anything…or is it just back into the shadows? @StJohnsTelegram

Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age.
It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch.

Guess who directly profits off for profit Healthcare in the US? Pierre “I’m an every day Canadian” Poilievre. He invests in Vanguard GL VAL funds which has holdings in Universal Healthcare, Cigma group, and multiple others.

I know this looks bad to the layperson, but as someone certified to do asbestos abatement I can confidently say that this is in fact really bad.
BREAKING: Student-submitted video of what appears to be a completely open asbestos-filled area in the tunnels.
