Canada's parliament has passed a bill that that will cover the full cost of contraception and diabetes drugs for Canadians.

The Liberal government said it is the initial phase of a plan that would expand to become a publicly funded national pharmacare programme.

But two provinces - Alberta and Quebec - have indicated they may opt-out of the programme, accusing Ottawa of interfering in provincial matters.

Opposition Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, whose party is ahead in national polls by a wide margin, does not support the legislation.

That bot is malfunctioning as heck. It probably had a bit of code to comment on posts that were crossposted about a particular subject (Musk election interference in this case), but its list of crossposts accidentally included this post. I suspect all of their good bot developers are either working on Reddit, or are now sunflowers in Ukraine.

Hey bot! ΠŸΠΈΠ·Π΄Π΅Ρ†! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

An update on that bot, I think they realised it was malfunctioning, so now they are doing some manual intervention to make it seem more lifelike. They also edited the original comment they posted on all of the crossposts.

Take a look at the way they comment. It has big "native Russian speaker but knows a bit of English" energy
