Gonna be honest, I find it extremely weird and emblematic of brain-rotted "bothsidesism" that media is near-unanimously celebrating a podcast in which Poilievre agreed as Rogan spouted some disturbing lies. Rogan said lifesaving COVID mandates were ridiculous. Poilievre explicitly agreed.

Knowledge is power. That's why Premier Ford wants to ensure that you can't know what he is up to. I don't care what your personal political leanings are — no one should think it's a good idea for politicians to be hiding information from the people who hired them.

VENEZUELLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Netanyahu sucks, AIPAC sucks, but "we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby" is just code for "blame Jews." Trump wasn't forced to do this. Trump's supporters—like Kent—weren't forced to elect him and embolden him. They're not absolved of any responsibility.

If you know 9 people in Canada, at least 1 of them has it. If you guessed Long COVID, you’d be right. ~10% of people in Canada have Long COVID, an illness which can be brutal & also crushingly lonely (If you guessed diabetes you’d also be right but people don’t pretend that doesn’t exist)

It’s International Long Covid Awareness Day. One of the best things you can do to support people with Long Covid is wear a mask (ideally a respirator like an N95). Masks break chains of transmission. They prevent infection. The only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid Covid!

It makes little sense to end the only capitated primary care funding models in BC Capitation is used widely internationally as it encourages heath promotion and prevention It is used in high-performing primary care systems www.biv.com/news/bc-fund...

They’re joking about being sick on air on CBC Radio right now.

"Don't Forget Gaza and the Palestinians" "Israel is using the illegal war on Iran to continue to kill and starve Gaza, steal more Palestinian land, and restrict movement in the West Bank, writes Diana Buttu for Zeteo. "Don't look away."

What do you call it when a society forgets, and then actively destroys, everything that made its prosperity possible?

“Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise.” At this point, I genuinely have no ability to comprehend how is anyone not scared sh*t-less about the long-term consequences of infections, especially on kids? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The poison oil cloud above Tehran right now - for which there is no end in sight - may be one of the most horrifying things I've seen on TV

Heartwarming scene: Black Cyber Truck driving past local school, at the end of recess. A large amount of children run for the school’s fence, yelling “boo” and giving the thumbs down gesture. 🥰

Remind me: when you bomb an elementary school, lure the survivors into a false sense of safety, and then bomb the survivors, leaving behind dozens and dozens of dead school children... are you the good guys?

Canadians always wring our hands and debate what makes our country different from the US when it was always this: a profoundly different attitude toward other members of society. Somehow this has always been obvious to me which makes me frustrated when the topic comes up.

It feels like the US and Israel are killing Iranians for sport at this point. It isn't strategy, it's bloodlust. It's hurting people because they can. This illegal war is a stain on the entire modern world.

I do not know how to mock this man any more thoroughly than by sharing a clip of him speaking words he himself chose to say in public.

Every doctor who psychologized ME/CFS, Long COVID, and chronic pain in autoimmune diseases should apologize & have their license suspended until they complete & pass relevant science education. This is NEUROLOGICAL not psychological / psychosomatic.

[2 years in the future] no, you see, if Carney put out a statement criticizing Trump for bombing Regina, he would tariff us and that would be bad

I’m a pacifist at heart but with every new illegal aggression, I can’t help but think we increasingly need a civil defence corp like Finland.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Somebody a couple of years ago said COVID is the climate change of the body, complete with denialism and acceleration of existing issues and I have not stopped thinking about it. (And both are of course connected). I cannot find the tweet for the life of me.

Calling a very well known vaccine advocate “anti vaxx” because she VERY correctly calls for people to take supportive measures like masking since our current vaccines do not stop transmission is wild. As someone who actually does vax outreach in LA the lines Michael is pushing feed anti vax ideology

John Oliver and team do a great job here of explaining how Twitter/X is a cesspool and why you shouldn’t go anywhere near it. Only thing it misses is new research showing that its right-biased algorithm “works” in that it shifts users’ views rightward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZG...

Welcome to 2026, where readers of 👉the New York Post👈 get a better education on the science of airborne disease transmission than an MD who just graduated from medical school at the University of British Columbia. This is not hyperbole. People need to go to jail for this. #medsky #scisky #cdnpoli

Dear #MedSky If you celebrated masks off; told a parent they were anxious re: concern about COVID; advised kids need to get infected to build their immune systems; said schools were low transmission; flogged 'learning loss; celebrated Omicron &/or endemicity YOU - yes YOU - are guilty of mass harm

Dear Young People. This post is written for you… Our generation of doctors decided to let you all get infected with a novel virus without even protection from vaccines in many cases, and we already knew that some of you would be killed or disabled for life when we made that decision.

Thank the lord it's not Bonnie Henry. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I don't think any of us ever expect things to be easy. But, sometimes, it would be nice to just relax. I don't know what it's like to relax anymore, and most of the lack of relaxation stems from bad government policy - a lot of it spearheaded by @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social. I'm so fucking tired.

"'Back to the 1950s': Federal union warns return-to-office mandate will disproportionately affect women" www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

This. No politician is owed your support or your vote. It is theirs to earn, during a campaign *and* when they’re office. They must continue the practice of showing people who are they are and what they’re about.

Canada's privacy commissioner has launched an inquiry, but that's not nearly enough. The fact that politicians in Canada have no interest in investigating a site that became the web's largest producer and distributor of CSAM and non-consensual porn because they all still use it is horrifying.

I really wish the government would just plainly say this was the consequence of their decision. I follow right wing BC Reddit closely. Eby has to understand that the communication vacuum is being filled with absolutely heinous stuff.

"Democracy" south of the border looks a lot like permanent rule by an entrenched white minority.

This is what Americans are paying for whether they like it or not: they're paying their government to imprison and torment kids who commited the "crime" of being born in the wrong postal code. Don't look away. Fight back. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

People who still take Covid seriously are increasingly isolated and being able to access community in places that encourages masking can be lifesaving for mental health.

💔 I hate hate.

📢This is a reintroduction of the Hub Model with softer language📢 The “means tested” supplement is only available to kids who qualify for the DTC (incredibly hard to access). There are some disabled kids receiving supports right now who will lose them, instead of funding being *actually* inclusive.

This is a message that should resonate across all partisan lines. If you can't fix it, you don't own it Love it.

February 2026 - the BMJ publishes a piece called "Why covid-19 is “a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one” Some of us have been screaming this for years www.bmj.com/content/392/...

This video by the Durham County DOH, about how viruses like covid spread, is more informative than about anything released on the topic by public health officials in Canada. If you want to help prevent your friends and family from getting sick, please share it with them! h/t @chantzy.bsky.social
