Moderna to roll out first made-in-Canada COVID vaccines this fall & hopes to use the facility for mRNA oncology therapy production in the future 🧬 www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

Nearly the same in Canada, especially with some provinces now charging for the vaccine. An inadequate, vaccine-only strategy (no clean air, no free tests, no paid sick leave), only with vaccine access now also at risk.

Off-putting that CBC platformed Charlie Kirk’s widow’s lengthy video message tonight, about continuing his “mission” even more aggressively, without comment on how repugnant much of that mission was. And who are the “they” who killed him she referenced? The even more extreme alt-right “Groypers?”

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river. #TheTruthAboutTraffic

So UWaterloo, like most other universities, recently transitioned to a 'parking app' for visitor/public parking. The app they selected, AMP Parking, has a 1.3 star rating on Google Play. ***1.3.*** That's the worst rating I've ever seen, for any app of any kind.

Why is NACI allowing only 1 COVID vaccine per year for most Canadians, making many ineligible for the fall vaccine? Everyone should be eligible: 1. It’s an UPDATED vaccine. 2. COVID vaccines begin to wane at 4 months - it’s NOT a yearly vaccine. #Canada #COVID www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

Long Covid hitting doctors and nurses hard, Patients exploited, gaslit, stigmatised, and more open.substack.com/pub/johndupu...

Folks should care *way* more about FL ending childhood vax mandates than they apparently do. This is *huge.* Other red states are going to follow suit, & national herd immunity will be lost. W/o it, *everyone* will be increasingly exposed to diseases we haven't been for years. That's important...

Prévisions de COVID pour le Canada : AOÛ 30-SEP 12, 2025 ONTARIO ÉLEVÉ Environ 1 personne 74 est infectée Par rapport au point le plus bas de la pandémie au Canada : -Infections 6.8 supérieur -COVID longue 7.8 supérieur -Hospitalisations 9.6 supérieur -Décès 9.9 supérieur

California and Florida are on opposite ends of the school-closure spectrum and the differences in test scores are a wash. Some individual schools and districts definitely stayed closed too long but it just isn’t the case that this is some huge, obvious, foreseeable blunder.

Exactly, the entire argument for this narrative is that kids rarely die of COVID. That’s true, but it wasn’t the justification for the policy. Teachers *do* die of COVID and kids *do* spread COVID. Some studies find school closures were the most effective intervention for preventing cases!

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

🇨🇦 #Canadasky please share 📌 Parliament is going to return soon and one of the first bills it is going to pass is Bill C2, which will give the police unprecedented powers over the lives of Canadians, including massive surveillance, and the ability to share our data with 🇺🇸.

For those who think my support of speed cameras is wrong-headed, wait until I tell them about how I love pedestrianizing streets, especially those around schools and parks! www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

A really infuriating article discussing the fact that our officials in charge of keeping us healthy did a bang up job doing almost the exact opposite when it comes to COVID. Also, mask up, folks! We only have ourselves to rely on in the foreseeable future.

This is an outstanding development.

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

Western leaders have appeased Donald Trump since he returned to power, only to be hit with new demands after every concession. On Tuesday, Trump declared economic war on countries that regulate its tech companies. It’s time for the world to break from the US and aggressively target Silicon Valley.

Every big project has so much secrecy with this gov't. Ontario Place. Metrolinx everything. Highway building. A regular Ontario person might ask....why. Maybe one day.

#Z94.4 The Canadian Aerosol Transmission Coalition put out a statement supporting CSA’s revisions to Z94.4. Over 1,700 individuals and organizations signed on to the statement - including unions representing over 3 million workers in 🇨🇦. www.globenewswire.com/news-release...

You will note that this announcement is solely back-patting, and that there is no commitment to renewing this funding once it expires. #canqueer

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.

Also a risk to be fought in Canada.

The BOHS in the UK is officially recommending respirators instead of surgical masks in healthcare settings. Let’s hope that the CSA standard Z94.4 for use of respirators in all healthcare settings will become official in Canada to protect healthcare workers and patients. x.com/SafeDavid3/s...

"Children under age 12 continue to be the group most often being seen for COVID infection in the Emergency Departments across America now."

Progress! This is a win - UK guidance on respirator use in healthcare, similar to the CSA draft standards in Canada 🍁

NEW: 1km of Montreal’s Ste-Catherine Street will become permanently “pedestrian only” (less than perfect term since it will be a people-place for a LOT more than walking). 225+ new trees, vegetation-covered pits for rain drainage, more seating, illuminated canopy, financial help for businesses, etc.

"I don’t know how to convince everyone that we can’t give up. So many people consider COVID to be endemic, or accept that everyone will eventually become infected, thinking nothing more can be done... but I know a better world is possible and we will move forward together."
