🎉🎉Reminder🎉🎉 If you need any help in your own personal Covid/Health advocacy for masking, safety in public, accommodations for apts, human rights complaints, letters, etc, send me a dm. Part of my quest to be a “Swiss Army knife” of advocacy is to help those who need it, in any way I can.

5 years on “Why good ventilation is key to stopping the spread of Covid-19 Clean air far more important than clean hands” We had all of the scientific knowledge & tools to stop the pandemic in 2020 without lockdowns.. & they weren’t used www.irishtimes.com/opinion/why-...

This is a great post and reminder that the #COVID19 pandemic is not over, and won't be until people take infection seriously again. Repeat infections have dire health consequences. kolektiva.social/@healthselfd... #CovidIsNotOver #GetVaccinated #MaskUp #CleanTheAir

'Because if COVID were a one and done virus- a virus that bestowed lifelong immunity, like measles or polio (generally) do, the cruel logic of “let it rip” and “back to normal” would ultimately work for the “survivors”.' #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp #GetVaccinated #CleanTheAir #COVID19

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest: www.thegauntlet.news/p/when-will-...

The Liberals committed billions of dollars to tackle the housing crisis — and it’s up to us to make sure that money gets invested in people, not corporate developers. Take action now: leadnow.ca/campaigns/pa... #HomesForAll #cdnpoli

Well, this is all really ironic, to say the least..

Study identifies PTX-3 as potential marker for long COVID and tissue damage. Researchers at MedUni Vienna found PTX-3, an immune marker, remains at higher levels in the blood of patients who have suffered from severe COVID-19, even months after the acute infection has subsided.

For many COVID-aware people, parents in particular, the fall season represents one big gaslighting extravaganza…let’s be clear, it is NOT normal, ok, valuable, or good in any way for children to be repeatedly infected with a virus that can impact every organ of the body.

Every time the subject of Jimmy Fallon’s spinelessness comes up, I think of this passage from Tina Fey’s Bossypants

On this day of National Truth and Reconciliation learn about the treaties and obligations and the Indigenous leaders who were key in forming Canada. This is important for everyone, but especially those who think a province can simply be plucked out of Canada. The treaties came first.

“I listened, we listened, we heard from you loud and clear,” Del Duca said in a social media video. “This is what leadership looks like, in particular at this moment. You need leaders who have your back and who are on your side.” That's not leadership, it's populist politics. Yuck.

Del Duca on the side of child-killing speeders.

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

Millions from Ontario training funding went to dentists’ brokerage with ties to then-labour minister’s wife

Oi New Zealand, are we paying attention yet? Spend $600M to save $19B.

How do you move 1000 people into a city centre? 1 train, 20 buses or 650 personal vehicles (with a LOT of parking required!) HT @davidloisuned.bsky.social for the Spanish translation of one of my favourite graphics originally from Sydney. #CityMakingMath

For the record, speeding tickets -- regardless of whether it's from an officer or a camera -- are not "gouging taxpayers." They're doing what all tickets do: incentivize people to follow the law. It will cost taxpayers A LOT more to hire the number of police needed to enforce the law. #onpoli

From refusing to adopt vulnerable road user legislation to attacking bike lanes with Bill 212 and now wanting to ban speed cameras, Doug Ford has proven over and over he doesn't give a fuck about road safety. #shame #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Ontarians see through Ford's attempt to get rid of democratically elected trustees. 57% of Ontarians agree the main problem is underfunding. Tell Ford to fund our schools. #OntEd #ONpoli www.cp24.com/local/toront...

The vaccines: 1) The flu shot 2) The shingles vaccine 3) The RSV vaccine 4) The Tdap vaccine

Yeah because people who hate speed cameras will definitely respect those signs … oh wait www.cambridgetoday.ca/local-news/n...

Just in case you weren’t sure how awful Doug ford is. The courts ruled against him based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because PEOPLE WILL DIE IF HE REMOVES SAFE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. So he’s considering ABUSING the Notwithstanding Clause just for ego and some cheap suburban votes.

When the Right lies about the Left, it's called "Free Speech" but when the Left tells the truth about the Right, it's called "Inciting Violence."

That reminded me of a favorite quote from Lester Pearson, a former Canadian Prime Minister and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

WATCH THIS: The most amazing thing about this remarkable 2002 car commercial is that it didn’t seem to realize at the time, or perhaps didn’t care, how effectively it made the point that cars and car infrastructure are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn car company.

Ben Mulroney also hosted a campaign event for Toronto–St. Paul’s Conservative candidate Don Stewart during the federal election earlier this year Mulroney hosted the partisan campaign event at the same time as he was hosting a show on Global News 640 Toronto pressprogress.ca/ben-mulroney...

A new study finds that switching to Daylight Saving Time and back every year increases the risk of strokes and obesity, and suggests we should stay on Standard Time all year. But I think the distribution of strokes and obesity in each time zone tells another story.

Jesus Christ. A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons. You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.
