GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

Maybe oil companies should cap pump prices instead of Poilievre blaming taxes for $2 gas
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre last week urged Ottawa to suspend taxes on fuel. Maybe, writes Jim Stanford, he should ask companies to roll back pump prices, or demand a tax

The reason necropolitians like Carney should scare everyone is the underclass they've decided are already dead will almost certainly one day include you. We saw it during the pandemic with the elderly and sick. We see it with the unhoused and drug users. If anyone is expendable, everyone can be.

Carney doesn't care about the tens of thousands of children Israel killed in Palestine. He doesn't care about the people in Lebanon Israel is killing now. These people are already dead to him, their actual deaths don't change his world. He'll talk about wanting peace, but he doesn't care either way.

It's clear there is nothing Israel could do that would get Canada's political class to stop supporting it. Israel has been committing a widely documented genocide for years, has slaughtered tens of thousands of children, and most Canadian politicians are absolutely fine with that. They don't care.

The moral of the story is of course, always try to one up your friends. You might change the world in the process. Finally, if you're one of those who've never heard of this magnificent book about our fishy ancestors before, don't feel too bad- after all, Samuel Pepys wishes he hadn't either.
