30 more cases of #measles after a farming get-together in Manitoba. "little bit complacent" is how the doctor is framing it on CBC. Nope. People are not complacent. They're convinced that measles isn't serious enough to get a needle in their arm. The internet has convinced them.

Really? Metrolinx? You lost screws?

Now, let’s make sure that universities and colleges use the money responsibly. We don’t need more software subscriptions, nor do we need raises for executives. We need classroom renovations. We need building maintenance. We need to rehire staff.

On CBC As It Happens they're going to talk to a doctor who is going to tell them where Manitoba's #measles is coming from. I'm no medical doctor, but I can tell you this: it's coming from the air. www.steinbachonline.com/articles/man...

“You do you” has consequences. Smelly, sickness-laden hockey games are apparently one of them.

Not only did they withhold the data from the public, they consider the numbers to be so sensitive they redacted them in a FOIA request. I can’t imagine there is a legal justification for that.

Speaking of BlackBerry ... do you know they own the QNX operating system? It's the backbone hyper fast O/S that runs the Hwy 407 ETR. It is lightning fast in real time processing. It can track, plot, and leave PC screen breadcrumb trails of a Mercedes going 240 kilometres and hour through a gantry!

Wow. This is so...academic freedom-y!

Guest from Canadian Shield Institute on CBC Radio talking about weening ourselves off of American software companies … to create a “sovereign cloud” etc and using France as an example as a middle power doing so. I agree. Sounds like new roles for Canada Post & companies like BlackBerry. #ElbowsUp

We need to move on from Fascist-35s. Buying them -- or any parts for more fighters -- will get us no further ahead in any of negotiations with the US. We need to make new friends. Our American neighbour is a racist, wife abuser running a pyramid scheme in his basement. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Why do the police wear bulletproof vests to a press conference? Are they afraid of the media? Towtruck drivers? The public?

“Scientists should stop trying to be neutral and instead embrace their values,”says a group of top climate scientists, including @katharinehayhoe.com. The neutrality myth is harming the reputation of science right when we need it most.” #ClimateCrisis Science isn’t neutral. It’s science.

An important reminder that safety initiatives can be relatively simple but have major, life saving, impacts. And that in many cases when they're suggested there's fierce opposition. Always look at who resists or opposes safety changes. There's often a link to wider harms or oppressions.

We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. - Carl Sagan

Feels like the article is going to be clickbait. That said, there are important issues to be raised. Let's forget the question of veracity. Instead, let's just talk about SCALE & financial requirements to host individual students in isolated "one student per room" accommodation exam centres.
