The coverage was to be for birth control and diabetes drugs and supplies, but B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix said oral contraceptives are already covered under a provincial program so that share will be used to cover hormone therapy for women.

“We are taking that money, the between $30 and $40 million in B.C., that will come from the federal government for contraception, and applying it to something else, to make something else free at point-of-purchase, free for British Columbia women,” Dix said.

British Columbia has become the first province in Canada to sign a pharmacare agreement with the federal government that would help the province fund hormone replacement therapy and diabetes expenses.

I’ve reordered the statements to make the overview the last paragraph but damn someone call 911 cause B.C’s killing it with actually meaningful progress🤌✨

lmao

DF’s the last person on this planet who’s justified to say that

As well as providing support for existing 3.x games, Godot 3 has developed into a mature and stable codebase, which is well suited to development for low-end hardware. The development emphasis is on backward compatibility. Any new features are optional and we strive to not break or alter existing functionality.

ahh makes sense👍

Mom of the year

hope her kid recovers quickly✊

the hospital better figure out or create better people management/patient triage systems, cause shit like this shouldn’t happen at all

sleep helps to defrag memory,

I’ve also heard on the net that resources such as the Arch wiki can help correct some instances of data gaps/corruption

Losing Naomi Wu to the CCP was a catastrophic loss to the FOSS community, I remember that she once went directly to confront a company (I think located in China) to demand for the release of their modified version of a copyleft software

I hope she’s still alive and doing well

yup

people can and should be allowed to be interested in things foreign to themselves

uh huh
so why would Canadian’s informing themselves on the happenings of our neighbors be unhealthy?🤔🤔🤔🤔

He added that it’s come at the expense of Canadians consuming news about their own country’s politics.

that’s not how that works, just cause I inform myself on what’s happening in the US cause I also have friends there doesn’t mean I’m less informed on what’s happening over here, in fact:

I’d say it’s the opposite as I’m more concerned and informed about the pros that’s US citizens are gaining such as Right to Repair and the cons of the degradation of citizen rights that are being replicated here

Consuming anything from Fox news is def bad as you’re not even consuming junk food at that point but rage bait poison

that and/or vote during the elections

Fuck CN with that binding arbitration

Power to Teamsters!✊

So…Emacs huh

who would use it when Linux just works in addition to Microsoft’s continued enshitification of Windows?

I’m hoping for the best🌻, prepared for the worst🥺

oh what the hell ✨NATIVE ANDROID SUPPORT✨ it looks like???

damn this year’s looking great for FOSS software dev🥳🤌

oh for sure

I vote based on what a party has previously done cause we all know that promises at this point are equivalent to PR hype right?

I really hope Ontarians remember this as they’re voting, otherwise the cycle will repeat :/

Voting NDP seems better

the CFP is portraying themselves as centrist but their policies and strategy is right learning
alrighty then🥱

Edit:
ok after rereading I actually like one of their policy “planks”:

increasing competition in the airline, telecommunications and agricultural sectors.

• although the agricultural sector here doesn’t really make too much sense as it’s not the fault of the farmers that produce and goods are expensive, it’s our supermarkets like Loblaws that needs an increase in competitors

For anyone out of the loop:
Mark Sager, West Vancouver Mayor Banned From Practicing Law for 2 Years

As someone in the tech space I’d say that one potential partial solution is for Translink to use/fund FOSS Hardware as a cheaper source for replacement parts

• this could also be a universal collaborative funding project/proposal with other provinces and states
  • maybe Louis Rossman might also be interested in this as it would tie into the Right-to-Repair movement

god I really hope we don’t lose Canada’s best transit system, this is too close to home fuck

Not Like This

I’m hoping to see their popularity drop off a cliff
