Just check the modlog...I was so happy to report this persons comment earlier today. Perhaps that was the straw. Bigots and transphobes shouldn't be welcome anywhere.

Just made my day honestly.

That person is a bigot. Plain and simple. So long Sheila.

Agreed. However I live in a very rural area. The closest walk in clinic even is a four hour drive away one way. I have one option and I only have that doctor because they felt bad when I got this rare Cancer and didn't have a family doc. I don't have money to pay an online clinic or to travel. I have what I have which is the case for many Canadians right now.

Contact the CPP folks immediately on my behalf please. I and my family would really appreciate your assistance since you are so knowledgeable about our circumstances.

Or find me a Doctor that isn't a "complete ass" because to repeat myself I do not qualify. I am physically unable to work but I am also unable to feed my kids. Yet my government could care less and they are the ones responsible for my income. Doctors don't give a shit cause I can walk...sort of and my fellow citizens would prefer for me to hire a lawyer than help me fight for a better life for my family.

I should not have to fight for respect or dignity simply because I am cripple through no fault of my own.

This is not even mentionioning what folks with mental health problems do. Where do they fit in this equation?

We need less racists and bigots too.

Yes, but Ontario is the center of the universe. Didn't you know?

Know what's not a "good look", I and many others like me don't qualify for the disability tax credit because we don't need constant care, so we live well below poverty. Singles, those with families, old, young doesn't matter. This means we also don't qualify for the disability tax benefit that our government is touting as a saving grace for us cripples. No one cares. Not our fellow citizens, politicians, doctors. No one.

But we can MAID as soon as we can fill out the fucking paperwork.

Disabled people in Canada are living in a fascist state that would prefer them dead and no one cares to help change that.

-Killed all American based social media (personal and small business)

-gave up travel after 911. Volunteered as a medic at WTC. Got treated like shit when we questioned the whole WMD warmongering. Not been back since.

-cancelled Amazon immediately. Left Google and Microsoft behind. Working on degooglinv my phone as well. I'm new to all this type of techy stuff and I'm old so it's taking a bit longer than others.

-taught as many as I can the ways of torrenting and free streaming. I've been purchasing from the little guy and stealing from the big guy for decades as a teen of the 90's.

-completely stopped purchasing all food and any other goods we could from America and produced solely by American companies including those with presence in Canada (sorry fellow Canadians employed by these asshats but it's got to happen)

-switched pet food brands to a Canadian company. Working on animal feed for our homestead. No more veggie seeds from there either.

-no fast food treats, chain restaurants, hotels, online booking companies, etc from murican companies.

-if we can't find it from somewhere other than 'murica we don't need it.

-no shipping from my small business to US customers anymore. I'm not interested in their business until they depose their dictator.

-we are also teaching our young kids to avoid products and services from 'murica. We openly speak to them about what is happening there and how it is affecting us socially, politically and morally in Canada. We will do our best to make this boycott generational.

-our kids have given up lots of things on their own because of our actions as parents. No dictators here. They choose for themselves and I am proud to say even at 10 and 12 they have made exceptional choices.

You can just use the juice to then make jelly which is just three more steps. Add sugar. Boil. Add pectin.

It does help to have some experience and the equipment at hand however.

Send in the clowns

Actually Mr. PM I could give a rats ass. Let him make it 1000% if it gets us untethered faster.

I hope so. We need to stand up to these assholes.
