Dear Mr. Miller,
I hope this message finds you well.
1 am writing as a constituent to respectfully request your sponsorship of an official House of Commons e-petition that I intend to submit for certification.
The petition calls upon the House of Commons to initiate the constitutional process to amend the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to explicitly recognize the rights to clean potable water, adequate food, and safe shelter. These are essential biological necessities required for human survival and human dignity.
Across Canada, communities are facing a growing homelessness crisis, millions experience food insecurity each year according to Statistics Canada, and some First Nations communities have endured long-term boil water advisories.
While Canada recognizes many fundamental freedoms in the Charter, it does not explicitly protect the basic material conditions necessary to sustain life.

Dear Mr. Miller, I hope this message finds you well. 1 am writing as a constituent to respectfully request your sponsorship of an official House of Commons e-petition that I intend to submit for certification.

While Canada recognizes many fundamental freedoms in the Charter, it does not explicitly protect the basic material conditions necessary to sustain life.

This petition seeks to affirm that access to water, food, and shelter are foundational rights that underpin equality, dignity, and the meaningful exercise of all other freedoms.
As my Member of Parliament, I would be grateful if you would consider sponsoring this petition so that it may be presented in the House of Commons for consideration.
I would be pleased to provide the full petition text and any additional information required.
Thank you for your time and for your service to our community.
Sincerely,
Mike Campbell

If thousands of my neighbors just died at the hands of their own government and then my daughter was blown up by some chucklefuck on the other side of the planet claiming to help, I would walk into sea.

It is hard to fathom the suffering innocent Iranians are enduring. God have mercy.

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:

I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

Giant tortoises return to GalΓ‘pagos island 180 years after relatives went extinct Giant tortoises have been reintroduced to Floreana Island in the GalapΓ‘gos, 180 years after going extinct there.

Giant tortoises and other key native species are now thriving, and being reintroduced where lost, on the unique GalapΓ‘gos Islands ecosystems.

This is only possible due to the eradication of alien invasives like goats and rats, often a *crucial* part of rewilding.

What conservatives did to Bud Light in 2023, that's what progressives should do to ChatGPT in 2026.

OpenAI is so vulnerable right now. With enough pressure, I think it's actually possible to take the whole company down.

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"Loneliness *is* a problem. I am inviting you to contemplate how frequently it is treated as a problem for men and only for men, to be solved by everyone else, by doing work on their behalf that can only ever be considered repair if they do it themselves."

so the bbc used the live delay in order to edit out and censor free speech, ppl saying 'free palestine', but did not use the live delay in order to edit out offensive speech - a man shouting a racial slur.

it really highlights how they abuse these mechanisms.

They are carrying water out in buckets. It is impossible to divert it - they cannot dig drainage channels because the ground is frozen solid and cannot be broken through.

And above them are Russian drones.

This is not an exaggeration. This is the present reality.

The first is that the Liberal government screwed the pooch on immigration; this is now a fairly consensus opinion β€” and one we’ve talked about at some length here at The Line. It’s no particular mystery to us why the longstanding pan-partisan consensus on immigration is breaking. In short, we’ve taken on far too many, especially temporary foreign workers and questionable international β€œstudents,” without any real plan for how to improve basic infrastructure or social services to compensate. The problem, here, is a real one. And all of the provinces β€” not just Alberta β€” are struggling to keep up.

That acknowledged, it is nothing short of appalling for a government to blame immigration for its own fiscal mismanagement especially when that same government has been welcoming and even demanding that immigration until all of five seconds ago.

I'm getting very tired of this framing. The only reason there is "consensus" that the Liberals screwed up immigration is because we are allergic to holding any premier to account for a) demanding more immigration; b) doing fuck all about housing and healthcare; and c) let scam colleges run amok. 1/

What I am waiting for is 2026 first quarter profit statements from Loblaws, Sobeys, and Metro. There is a relationship between consumer affordability and shareholder profit.
