Sick and tired? Influenza test positivity is very high in Ontario and remains the highest in children (5-11 yrs) at 73.3% and adolescents (12-19 yrs) at 67.3%. COVID-19 and RSV are also circulating. These viruses are airborne: we get sick by breathing them in! But it doesn't have to be this way!

“We have been asking them and insist that they invest in measuring the air quality in those spaces, schools and school buses, and not leaving it as something for which school boards have to pull from an already overstretched budget,” @mjnabuurs.bsky.social says. ottawa.citynews.ca/2025/12/21/s...

They are back in stock and make great stocking stuffers. My daughter got infected on a Wed. woke up Friday with a sore throat and got a slight mark on the positive line. Was enough for me to know, took action and prevented the rest of us from getting it. canadastrong.ca/products/art...

Wow! bioengineer.org/esmo-2025-mr...

May I strongly recommend these tests and they have over night delivery. Early detection saved our butts. Within 48hours of incubation, woke up with a sore throat, slight mark on positive line. I knew. on.https://canadastrong.ca/products/artron-covid-19-rapid-antigen-test

Doctors and healthcare professionals: there are consequences to your actions. Airborne pathogens are often transmitted asymptomatically. Choose to protect your patients by wearing a well-fitting N95 mask. Everyone deserves safe access to healthcare. @pandemicresistance.bsky.social

I wrote this. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Imagine if every Ontario school and bus had air quality monitors, N95s, and air cleaners. We’d have real-time data to inform timely decisions on using masking and air filtration to protect kids’ health when the air is bad, AND to mitigate airborne infectious diseases! #Wildfire #Smoke #OntEd

American doctors and nurses who relocate to Ontario will be able to start working in hospitals and clinics immediately, the Star has learned.

“In a classroom with poor ventilation and air filtration, one infectious student can infect up to 90 per cent of their susceptible classmates. Frustratingly, parents' pleas for clean air in schools and childcare settings have been stonewalled.”

Will our Medical Establishment approve this? Or will they reject our medical freedom and bodily autonomy? We’ll find out.

I will be making a donation to the Green Party of Canada as a Thank-you. Thank-you for not putting a Green candidate in my riding. Greens were very strong here in the Provincial election (42%) but would not have had the same results federally. Respect & Stop the vote split! Thank-you

1. Absolutely outstanding article on the increasing prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) diagnoses amongst patients with Long Covid. This possibility is the primary reason I avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2. www.wsj.com/health/welln...

“Stuffy, crowded classrooms mean kids are breathing in viruses and pollution. Parents are trying to make the air safer, but hitting roadblocks… While people in power ignore COVID, kids are still getting really sick.” Quotes from: @mjnabuurs.bsky.social @theingredientslist.bsky.social

COVID-19 may put patients at risk for other infections for at least 1 year Non-hospitalized COVID patients had higher rates in 32% of the 65 laboratory-based outcomes compared to those who tested negative for SARS-CoV-2. www.cidrap.umn.edu/c...

Elbows up, Canada.

If you’re interested in a crash course from the beginning in chronic issues with COVID I recommend this excellent interview with David Putrino. Perhaps the least well understood consequence is the damage every infection likely causes everyone, symptomatic or not. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Reminder: Tomorrow, March 15th, we’re holding Long Covid Awareness Day events in Vancouver, Toronto and Quebec City. Join us! #ILCAD2025 #LongCovidAwarenessDay #CureLongCovidNow

Mourning is powerful — and it can be a force for driving meaningful change. If you’ve been affected by long Covid, we invite you to share your story with the hashtags #LongCovidAwarenessDay and #CureLongCovidNow. 1/2

“Life will never truly be convenient or comforting while we turn a blind eye to the spread of harmful and disabling disease in our communities. Denial and inaction are not solutions. Demanding clean air just as we demand clean water is the solution.” - @blakemurdoch.bsky.social

It is alarming how many children and young people suffer a wide variety of serious heart conditions as a result of getting COVID. COVID is bad for you. Don’t get COVID. Get vaccinated. Wear an N95. Breathe clean air.

#PierrePoilievre refuses to get a security clearance. Why? What’s he hiding? We know Musk has been interfering in 🇨🇦’s politics on behalf of Poilievre since at least 2022. What other foreign fascist is looking to install PP & #CPC? #JustinTrudeau #ElbowsUp #cdnpoli youtu.be/RvVDFdvaO3Y?...

It’s time to stop ignoring the evidence about the impact of infectious diseases like COVID-19 on our kids. It’s time to stop ignoring the evidence about how these diseases spread in the air we breathe. It’s time to educate, and make schools & school buses safer for kids, educators, and drivers.

STORMS LIKELY THIS WEEKEND: We're (unofficially) calling for a 90% chance of a minor geomagnetic storm (Kp=5) in the next 72 hours due to anticipated coronal hole high speed stream effects.

Canada is strongest when we are united. That means creating one Canadian economy, instead of thirteen. Today, I’m sharing my plan to build that, together: markcarney.ca/media/2025/03/unite-canadian-economies

I once met with our Prime Minister in the Prime Minister's office and nobody chastised me for not wearing a suit or a tie. No one said it was "disrespectful". You know what IS disrespectful...? Calling another country's Prime Minister "Governor".
