“Can I go check a pulse?” a bystander said after Good was shot, his hands in the air. “No! Back up!” an ICE agent told him. “I’m a physician!” “I don’t care!” the agent replied, before another came up and said they had their own EMS on the way. trib.al/0QT1gBF

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

“So in exchange for keeping their eggs off their face, they’re sacrificing our eastern slopes and our water,” Lund said on Tuesday. “Whatever it costs in court is a tiny, tiny fraction of what it’s going to cost the taxpayers years from now to clean this mess up.” Corb gets it. The UCP does not.

We know that mobility in cities is about space. More specifically, more trips in less space. We’ve seen lots of great images reinforcing that point. This one might be my favourite, from #Santiago, because it ALSO shows the inequality of having buses run in mixed traffic. Dedicated bus-only lanes.

There’s no less efficient use of space than designing our cities around cars first. It’s also elitist, as it punishes those who can’t afford cars, making them nothing more than an afterthought.

I find this generational shift fascinating. While I personally find the CEO murder abhorrent, I can’t help but feel a bit of hope and optimism about what important stands Gen Z and younger will take on matters of equity, social justice and climate

This holiday season, Doug Ford is gifting his insider pals a luxury spa and sticking you with the bill: It'll cost $400 for every single household.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Enough is enough. It’s patently clear that the herd immunity strategy DOES NOT WORK. It’s just making us all sicker and sicker… It’s time to change course. We need prevention instead of ‘let it rip’…

Yes.

As H5N1 continues to spread among farm animals, we're playing a deadly game of Russian roulette with pandemic risk. H5N1 in pigs creates new risks of mixing among flu variants, which could lead to the emergence of an H5N1 strain capable of human to human transmission. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/o...

This paper is interesting for a few reasons. It shows that mask mandates in healthcare protect patients from infections, and removing mask mandates in healthcare harms patients. A facility without a mask mandate is making a *deliberate choice* known to harm patients. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Everything Wrong with Canada’s Proposed Long COVID Recommendations Canadian Health Sentinel November 25, 2024 By Simon Spichak stillcoviding.ca/en/news/ever... #COVID #CovidIsntOver #LongCovid #Canada

The Ford government selected the Bloor bike lane for removal on behalf of well-connected businessmen from the world of real estate & private finance, with political & donor ties to the PC Party. #cdnpoli #peipoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/municip...

Dr. Doug Eyolfson- "While health care workers like myself were working in ICU desperately trying to save COVID victims,Justin Trudeau was procuring vaccines & enacting life-saving public-saving public health measures. Meanwhile Poilievre was more concerned with supporting insurrectionists." #cdnpoli

All true. All contribute tax $ to private h/c insurance plans. In addition we contribute trained personnel and resources from the public system to the private. Splitting our system does not save us money - it costs us more. The hallmarks of effective systems are universality and integration.

Fellow Ontario tax payers - please like and retweet if you would rather $3.2 Billion be invested in public services, like education, healthcare, ODSP, support for autism families, than be dolled out in one-time $200 pre-election bribes by Doug Ford. #onpoli #onted #cdpoli

You may think that neurological symptoms in #LongCovid are for old people, but it is the opposite. Young adults (18–44 years) and middle-aged (45–64 years) with mild acute #COVID cases (non-hospitalized), represent 90% of the cases of #NeuroCovid. Read here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Doug Ford’s heavy-handed/baseless-evidenced decisions (e.g., Science Centre, Ontario Place) have infuriated me. But this dangerous and irresponsible “remove the bike lanes” decision? It scares the crap out of me. Here’s a (meh) snap from 5pm last Monday near U of T. #BikeTO

This is absolutely beyond parody. Ford knows his actions will kill people and he doesn't care. #ontario #onpoli #dougford #CanadaSky #frankdomenic🍁

As angry as this still makes me, I am trying not to lose sight of the likelihood that this bike lane issue is all just a (rather crafty) distraction from other worse actions like Hwy 413 and destroying our wetlands. #dougford #ontpoli

NEW: Trump has picked Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for Surgeon General. Nesheiwat has spread misinformation about vaccines, masks, and COVID.

Pat King fucked around (broke the law) and he found out. #Guilty

This is what Doug Ford is all about. He does something stupid that will hurt people, then he pushes legislation through to protect him and his cronies/donors. Like what he did with LTCHs. He wields the legislature like a shield to protect himself against you! #DougFordFailedOntario #SV4A #ABC

New research shows younger and middle-aged adults have worse long COVID symptoms than older adults "On an average of 10 months after COVID-19 onset, younger (ages 18-44) and middle-aged (ages 45-64) adults had worse neurologic symptoms of long COVID than adults 65 and older." #LongCOVID

Ok, so now Doug Ford will prevent cyclists injured by ripping out bike lanes from suing the province? The privilege this man abuses knows no bounds www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Here's one set of responses: thesciencebit.net/2024/11/21/m...

Check out Canada's Long Covid draft suggestions by doing this survey. It's a whole lot of diet, exercise, and CBT, and not much in the way of actual tests or effective interventions. You can comment on each question!! #LongCovid #Covid-19 www.research.net/r/CAN-PCCRec...

Doug Ford likes to talk tough on crime. So, it's curious, to say the least, that his government is rushing for an early election to get ahead of a criminal investigation! www.nationalobserver.com/2024/11/21/o...

Pierre Poilievre, who is clearly taking cues from Trump, is trying to radicalize his supporters into thinking they live in an authoritarian dystopia. It's kind of sad, tbh. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

I know Ford wants to use his attack on bike lanes to distract from the govt’s failure to address the housing affordability crisis. But we can’t let the Premier’s complete disregard for the value and safety of people who cycle go without comment. #onpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Hold the fuck on. Trump voters with preexisting conditions are out there crying now because they JUST realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act?!? The Affordable Care Act they just voted to repeal cuz they were good thanks to… OBAMACARE?!? Are you fucking kidding me??? I can’t with this.
