In addition to massively discouraging the purchase of large vehicles through legislation, after market modifications need to be largely banned. These things should not be driven anywhere near people.

How are those monster trucks allowed on the roads??? They are giant weapons on wheels! A $1000 (+$150?) fine is ridiculously low. Such a sad loss for Maureen Martin’s family. driving.ca/auto-news/lo...

This creature is part of a Monday Mood series and they are my new best friend.

Good thing FacesOutOfContext was there to let Margaret Atwood know the inspiration behind writing The Handmaid’s Tale.

This is why, in my head, the 80s were 20 years ago. The Flinstone superpower!

😆😆

If the war is won, why is the Strait of Hormuz still closed, and why does Hegseth need $200 billion?

These late evening singers rock!! I may have left NS 7 years ago (time flies) but it’s still a very special place to me.

Félicitations d’une Grégoire à un autre, de Victoria, Canada! Aucun lien familial (connu du moins), mais.tout comme vous M. le maire, je me rends souvent au boulot à vélo :)

Thanks @cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social for sharing this dark part of Canadian history.

Was talking about him earlier today while reminiscing listening to baseball on the radio (and cheering for the Expos!) in the 80’s… Bonsoir, il est parti… 😢 ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/223...

Cutting a program supporting kids, again. 😡 Kids don’t vote, sadly. And parents of children living with complex medical conditions requiring 24/7 care have no time to call their MLAs to advocate for better funding.

Love this!!! Not a surprise that Pontevedra is a cycling & triathlon hub!!

This is not an ebike. This is an electric motorcycle.

Reminder: Bill C-3 came into effect just recently in Canada. “Lost Canadians” are those who lost their citizenship from marrying a non-Canadian. Their descendants are now automatically Canadians. Is that you? Then you need to prove it. But a lot of people are getting theirs approved.

As a short adult (157 cm) most new trucks have hoods over my head. They can’t see me, or most kids under 12.

I wonder how many meals @wck.org could serve with 93B? Or how many doses of vaccines or medication could be given to prevent & treat illnesses?

To the man who drove his truck over the speed limit on a well established RED light without even slowing down: Shame on you!! Decades of walking/riding in cities gave me that 6th sense of knowing when a driver won’t stop (or slow down in this case) at a RED light even with at least 200m to go.

I’m not a big curling guy, but I get the significance of this, and WOW it’s mind-blowing. Some are calling it the best shot in curling history! #TeamCanada at the #ParalympicGames.

A baseball cap doesn’t offer dignity. It shows disrespect for the lives lost.

Hey, great news gang! Vinay Prasad is out at the FDA. Again. Let’s hope it sticks this time.

The perfect headline doesn’t exi…

Sorry, Rest of Canada. Winter is done here. Daffodils are blooming, rhododendrons are showing their colors and the cherry blossom trees are spectacular!!

Ouch. And true.

This is correct. The entire goal of being a scientist is to disseminate your findings and knowledge to as many people as possible. This is also how we are awarded grants and maintain academic positions.

“Wait, we’re afraid of walkable distances now?”* *best response ever to the manufactured conspiracy theories about “15-Minute Cities” and the simple idea of having more things we need nearby. #UrbanTruth

BC Parents, time to celebrate!!! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If that doesn’t ring a bell and scare you, please go read a 20th century history book… especially if you are not a tall white man.

This is eugenics. Genocide. An attack on science, medical ethics, bodily autonomy, and human rights. Where is the outcry from the biomedical community? Trans people aren't just abstract patients and research participants: We're your friends, family, and co-workers. Speak up before it's too late

Last night a Waymo vehicle froze on an Austin street after a mass shooting, delaying emergency response. Note to regulators: Crashing is only one of the ways AVs can harm people.

Je frais que ce soit vrai… (I worry this is true).

All the suffering, morbidity, mortality and financial losses preventable by an inexpensive and effective vaccine.

A trail blazer and role model to generations of pediatric specialists. I was lucky to attend some of her lectures in my early training. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Mother, doctors call on Newfoundland and Labrador government to expand coverage of RSV shots to all infants N.L. is one of 4 provinces that only provide coverage for high-risk infants (the others are British Columbia, Alberta and New Brunswick). This is NOT the recommended strategy by NACI or CPS)

When there is a will, there is a way… Bravo Paris!

The cruelty is beyond imaginable

Awesome news!

"The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... #medsky

This would a bad news at any time, but even more so when funding for animal (and human) health is being cut.

Some days are hard. As a pediatrician, I witness so much suffering in youths & their families. But today an older teenager gave me a hug 🥺 What a privilege! Pediatrics is really the best 🩷 (pic of the rainbow I saw walking to work this morning)

I watched the Inuktitut broadcast for a few games. It was awesome, even if I could not understand the words. The passion for hockey was felt through tone and volume of the voice!

What Russians did in #Bucha is particularly painful to my heart.I was there in the first days after it was liberated,I’ll never forget it Friends,please share this as widely as possible in the USA,Canada,the United Kingdom The world needs to see the truth about the heroism of Ukrainians Thank you!

Battery swapping for trucks? Brilliant. Sounds like a step in right direction in lowering dependence on diesel.

Before AI and social media overtook the web, this is the kind of information I used to search for. So glad I discover this gem today. Our home is on Knockan Hill, and there is a fantastic Songhees legend about the place! unknownvictoria.blogspot.com/2009/06/rope...

Honestly, this sign should be everywhere.
