Corruption in Ontario #ONPoli

The fall out from the oil MOU continues. Meanwhile Danielle Smith is stoking another war with Ottawa on public health care. Grassroots Albertans are launching an incredible recall movement to give Smith the bum's rush. My latest on the battle for Alberta. substack.com/home/post/p-...

NDP's Aleana Young is up and says this gov't has driven SaskPower's finances into the ground. The finance minister says there won't be an impact on the deficit. Does the finance minister understands how money works? #skpoli

Young says those are complete falsehoods. She says this gov't projected a 12-million surplus and now we're at a half billion deficit, and we have four months to go. Young says she's written to auditor to get to the bottom of SaskPower's books. Will the minister support this audit? #skpoli

The CEO of Palantir.

Public Overwhelmingly Supports Hep B Vaccine for a Newborn www.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/although-pub... "...credited with a 99% reduction in cases of acute hep B" "...no evidence justifying delaying hepatitis B vaccination." 90% of Dems & 65% Republicans recommend vaccine. #VaccinesWork

I wonder how much of this was because ordinary Canadians started consciously buying Canadian and travelling in Canada.

I live in CT and I didn't know any of this

No one could have foreseen this. /s

You may have heard that Trump’s extortion of University of California was defeated in court. But do you know who won this historic case? Spoiler: not a single UC administrator participated. It was all faculty members of the UC Faculty Associations and @aaup.org! Cc: @veenadubal.bsky.social

In Canada, just over 1 in 100 pregnancies end in abortion. In the UK, it's 1 in 3. No one thinks abortion is an ideal contraceptive. That's a failure of health education on a massive scale--especially, I suspect, the education of men.

American physicians are now telling people not to listen to the CDC. Whelp.

Alternate headline: Today Canada bought $3.6 billion worth of bombs from the U.S. What the hell are we doing? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

Document from NHS England which basically says when there is another Pandemic we can’t be bothered to protect you, it’s too costly. We are on our own folks. H/T @catinthehat.bsky.social

Canada has a stake calling out Pete Hegseth's murder on the seas. In June 1918 the hospital ship Llandovery Castle was sunk. The U boat murdered survivors in the water including 14 Canadian nurses. Canada never forgot or forgave. We have prosecuted war crimes ever since. Sucks to be you Pete.

Carbon capture and storage remains deep in the fiction section of the climate solutions bookstore. reneweconomy.com.au/worlds-large...

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

PM Carney subsidizes Big Oil to pump carbon to increase production. He walks back greenwashing rules allowing Big Oil to lie. He cuts a deal on planet killing methane. Now his team is walking. The CEO isn't smartest guy in the room when it comes to a burning planet. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

#TheyKnew All of them. It’s not just the GOP. They are ALL compromised and complicit.

Pretty much, right? #canadasky #cdnpoli

"Prolonged exposure in shared, poorly ventilated spaces, which potentially includes several infectious sources, drives respiratory virus transmission more than close contact." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Prime Minister decided to sign a MOU with a Premier whose own constituents are trying to recall her. He’s dividing this country more than anyone.

If you have only one thing to read today... "Universities are being retrofitted as fulfillment centers of cognitive convenience." www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...

Seconding, with a strong desire to see N95s purchasable at EVERY SINGLE location you can buy food and/or meds, including convenience stores, and to see baggy blues phased out entirely from the mainstream. Maybe keep them JUST IN CASE someone's truly panicking in an N95.

You don't even have to leave your house, really. Most libraries have ebook collections. You can literally click a button from your couch and have a book magically appear on your e-reader! (I am never not going to be be amazed by this! 😂)

No one could have foreseen this.

It’s obscene a Canadian company could outfit those Nazis. Good on Kwan and Axworthy for speaking out.

and now more kids have long covid than asthma—and the number of people disabled by covid is only going to keep increasing, even if deaths aren’t quite as prominent anymore, because we’re letting infectious disease run rampant.

I've never had covid, measles, the flu or whooping cough. I have had all of the vaccines and continue to get my regular boosters when applicable. Vaccines are safe, and they work.

🇩🇪 En Allemagne, le nombre de cas de #Covid augmente fortement. Sur la base d'analyses des eaux usées et des hospitalisations, ce statisticien calcule un « r » de 1,15 (= les cas doublent tous les 20 jours). 1 personne sur 103 est infectée.

The US is close to an institutional collapse across multiple public health agencies. Trump/RFK have purged anyone with expertise, many have fled and they’ve been replaced w functionaries who are either incompetent or malicious. I don’t think many understand how close to the edge we are right now.

EXCLUSIVE: Introducing DRUbit for Roads: The Future of the Oil Sands is Not a New Pipeline Very excited to break this story. An Indigenous-owned company is ready to ship bitumen by rail/ship to Asia, EU. Make it a PoNI, @MarkJCarney. #bcpoli #cdnpoli youtu.be/dVETtHQ3REg

NEWS: U.S. companies have announced over 1.1 million layoffs in 2025, the highest total since the pandemic-hit year of 2020, according to a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas

Merci for a great time, France! Really inspired to see one of the largest #LongCovid communities in Europe. A lot of promising research, especially on biomarker development, with more than 1,000 samples from Long Covid patients across France. Good stuff is coming! My travel buddy approved 😜

“Many of us have…learned 2 accept that our friends & loved ones have lingering, persistent coughs. I notice it mostly in the lull between songs in a live set. People seem genuinely puzzled that they’re now sick all the time, & not just getting sick more frequently, but being hit harder, too.” #COVID

Oh. Look. A prime example Just say you’re subjects of America and keep it pushing because Canadian sovereignty is looking like a joke bsky.app/profile/alex...

Kateryna Rashevska, a legal expert from the Ukrainian Regional Center for Human Rights, reveals the existence of North Korean-run concentration camps for Ukrainian children abducted by the Russian invaders.

The msm have found out, suddenly, that a public hospital in Madrid are being worked by private companies, and that they elongate, on purpose, the waiting lists in order to not attend those with less purchasing power. Now they are learning it's happening all over Spain.

In @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social’s first English-media interview since resigning over the pipeline MOU with Alberta, the former cabinet minister said the government isn’t being honest with the public and is betraying its commitments.

“the fact is Northback’s Grassy Mountain coal mine will be an open pit mine, even though Smith promised Albertans it won’t be.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/bradlafo...

Dear Mr Carney, COVID-19 continues to mutate, circulate, infect, and disable (through long-covid). One of my Jr High patients got disabled by long-covid this year. Please implement a national clean indoor air strategy for all bldgs., airplanes, trains, buses, and more to prevent covid. Call me.

So, Northback is proposing an open-pit metallurgical coal mine at Grassy Mountain. If you’d like to comment on the environmental assessment you have until January 16. Please folks, we don’t have the water.

Almost everyone who touts the benefit of private healthcare is hoping to profit from private healthcare.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.
