Damning rationale for yesterday’s approval of Ksi Lisims LNG… No consent from the majority of affected First Nations. The project is wholly-owned by Western LNG, a Texas-based company that is 100% backed by US private equity. The project has major investment from Trump’s billionaire backers #bcpoli

"Aerosols from the respiratory tract when we breathe, speak, sing or cough can carry viruses and bacteria... Aerosol transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been identified as the dominant route for transmitting COVID" Congrats to these winners of the 2025 Faraday Horizon Prize.

“We need better air quality in our public spaces,” Vipond said. “We need to be treating our air they way we treat our water, not just because of COVID but to prepare for the next airborne pandemic.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

The Israeli military assassinated five journalists and at least 19 Palestinians total in two targeted strikes on Nasser Medical Complex this morning.

3/ How do you reconcile teaching brain health while ignoring the virus that harms the brain? By lecturing unmasked in an unfiltered room during a surge? You don’t. You just sweep the evidence under the rug.

2/ Even so-called “mild” infections leave measurable brain damage: shrinkage, inflammation, disrupted connectivity. This isn’t fringe science—it’s published in the very journals we assign to students. And still… silence.

1/ I conduct research and teach the benefits of exercise on brain health to young adults in a College of Applied Health Sciences. The same College that wants to “lead” in Public Health. And yet—when SARS-CoV-2 attacks the brain—there is silence. Thundering silence.

Dr. Tarek Loubani, who is in Gaza right now, was invited to give a talk to emergency workers about the attacks on health care facilities in Gaza. But he was instructed - get this - not to say who was doing the attacking. Take a look at how this hero of a human responded: vimeo.com/1112115018/c...

The most important part of this article, to me, is the end. It challenges a false binary between “long COVID” and “everyone else.” Maybe it's a spectrum... 🧵 (1/5) www.bmj.com/content/390/...

Not all heroes wear capes. Incredible work from @putrinolab.bsky.social. They have created a *FREE* manual for clinicians treating chronic illnesses associated with infections. #LongCovid #MECFS #LymeDisease and many others.

Our styleguide is a great evergreen resource, but we only update it with new entries after we see a persistent, common journalistic question or misstep. We also have timely resources related to breaking news, ongoing or upcoming Supreme Court cases, and more:

This is what the audience for a Long COVID conference looked like today. Notice anything? 😷

Mere hours left to become a member if you want to vote Emily Lowan for leader of the BC Green Party. She’s a whip smart, articulate eco-socialist, who has unequivocally denounced the genocide in Gaza. She inspired me to join a political party for the first time in 52 years.

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Experts have called ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ a concentration camp. The Canadian company GardaWorld is helping to staff it. In a reported column for @thetyee.ca, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social reveals the company has received millions in Cnd government contracts this year. #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

I love learning about new words! And Fiona McPherson of the OED has all kinds of delightful info about new words and words from World English. Here she explains what "Rolex" has to do with eggs. Check out the whole interview: APPLE PODCASTS: bit.ly/41rGhyI SPOTIFY: bit.ly/47heqVK

A year and a half after an airstrike injured a three-year-old boy in Gaza, his aunt continues to try to get him to Canada. Nariman Ajjur says her nephew is now showing “clear signs of malnutrition” as well as the psychological effects of living in a war zone. thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...

Petition for Canadians ⤵️ 1. Call on the Government of Canada to immediately suspend all arms exports to Israel; 2. Support war crimes investigations; 3. Demand unrestricted aid access; and 4. End its complicity in violations of international law

At a vigil in Montreal for the child victims of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, advocates have been reading each of these children’s names — from youngest to oldest. They started at 8:00am. By 9:00pm, they had only reached the names of the nine-year-olds. ❤️‍🩹

Did you know that Canada was not just a safe haven, but also a site of slavery for over 200 years? Black and Indigenous peoples were enslaved in colonial Canada. This part of Canadian history is often erased. On this #EmancipationDay, take some time to do some digging. humanrights.ca/story/story-...

Don't forget it's Powell Street Festival weekend! It's been this weekend longer than Pride has and I highly recommend checking out their fantastic, free event! The food is GREAT.

There’s so much to be said about how cynical, how bloviating, how utterly beyond the pale this is, but the thing coming up for me most is the audacity to put such conditions on a symbolic gesture that actually does nothing to address the immediate mass starvation and genocide of an entire people.

The government of Canada is adamant — with certain, shifting caveats — that it has not allowed arms shipments to Israel since January 2024, and yet Israeli import data and publicly available shipping records appear to contradict that claim. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
