My reasons for continuing to wear a mask have evolved considerably since 2020, because I know a lot more about COVID than I did in 2020, when everyone else was taking it seriously too. What do you know about COVID now that you didn't know then? #OneOfTheTwo

Rosemary has got to go. She is biased and not professional. CBC please give her her walking papers.

"fossil fuels are killing your grocery bills" is a clear, simple and undeniably true message that voters *already understand*, but centrist parties would never broadly run with that (and the "climate pragmatists" would NEVER suggest it) because opposing fossil fuels directly feels wrong to them

My mother died of Covid complications this year. She not only refused to believe Covid was ‘that serious’ she also refused to mask when people visited her at our home in India. Anyone anywhere who wants to mock people who mask can fuck all the way off.

It would be far less time-consuming to count down the number of times he accidentally told the truth. shorturl.at/j6eU3

Troubling.

Zelensky arrives in the US for talks with Trump. NO US officials greet him. Not one. Just Ukraine’s ambassador while Trump waits at Mar-a-Lago. That’s not diplomacy. That’s a deliberate snub of an ally at war and a very clear signal of where Trump stands! #USDemocracy #Pinks

Paris will be experiencing 50 degrees celsius heat waves for at least 2 weeks per year. Madrid will be experiencing 50 degrees celsius heat waves for at least 10 weeks per year. San Francisco will be almost perpetually flooded with extreme atmospheric river rainfall.

In Bangalore, 18 adults previously vaccinated for COVID-19 received their first flu shot. The vaccine expanded flu-specific CD4 T-cells and Tregs, with Tregs potentially dampening immune responses. SARS-CoV-2 immunity boosted the effect. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There's a vicious circle between the "Evidence Based Medicine" empire builders working to de-skill medicine and turn it into mindless obedience to their pseudoscientific guidance, and a management class that figures if it's that easy then they can cut staff. Meanwhile COVID burns up the work force.

This message hits hard.

Flu minimizers in my replies will be blocked. Three kids in Ottawa died this month from “regular old flu that’s been around forever”. It’s not “catastophizing” to inform & to mask to protect themselves & vulnerable people. I just took family member to Dr. & of 18 waiting, half were coughing unmasked

"In a show of unity against Trump, Canadians boycotted U.S. products and refused to travel south of the border. Soon, news of illegal arrests and ICE disappearing people made it obvious that staying put was no longer just a political statement but a survival tactic as well." 2025 — A Year in Review

Whoever you are, please mask (ideally N95 or equivalent) right now (and keep masking). Hospitals across the country are packed with sick patients. More will get sick. Help stop the spread of influenza A, covid and RSV by masking. Masking also reduces your risk too.

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

That column is here: (And in the months since, we've definitely seen moves by Jamil Jivani to position himself as a successor to Poilievre).

"Trump suspends all large offshore wind farms under construction, threatening thousands of jobs and cheaper energy." www.cnn.com/2025/12/22/c...

Beware. Conditions are prime for a H5N1 reassortment event.

Take this seriously. MASK IN ALL PUBLIC SPACES N95 OR BETTER. This is not a “super flu” it is a variant we have not been exposed to you; will get sick and possibly very sick. Do not mess with this one. Get vaccinated as well it will give some protection.

This is vile and disgusting shit. The President of The USA.

Eventually your power will be gone and we will release your names. People will know you and there will be nowhere to hide. Fascists are not well liked in this country. "The agents are often wearing masks but not badges or other identifiers, making it very difficult to hold abusers accountable."

Wait a minute ... Trump Media announces a huge merger/deal today for nuclear fusion and the leading nuclear fusion scientist in the United States was assassinated this week?

Canada must block all dairy/milk imports and livestock transfers from the USA. www.wisfarmer.com/story/news/2...

AI "slop" is totally accurate and the best word of the year ever.

Just to be clear, this ban would have prevented me from coming to the US, had it existed in 1983.

Outbreaks and hospitalizations are up, according to CBC. If only we had tools to prevent the spread… if only.

One reason Rob Reiner’s death was so shocking is that he was a living embodiment of a gentle, righteous, kind humanity. Trump’s reaction, meanwhile, was an embodiment of his inhumanity, vile as it is. We all get to choose which one we would want to be. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Meet Jaciel Cirrus Rojas. A 24 year old father with no criminal record was swept up as “collateral damage” during an immigration raid in Racine. Despite a court order to release him since he poses no safety or flight risk, a Trump-appointed judge continues to deny his release from Dodge County Jail.

How very not surprising 👇

If my classroom (with PM2.5=0 all day and desktop #CRboxes spread throughout) has 10 students sick, then imagine how bad things are in all other classrooms/schools throughout Ontario. Our children DO NOT need to get sick to get stronger. PREVENTING illness with N95s maintains a healthy immune system

Seems fine, mild even?
