Carney wants to kill Pharmacare through inaction. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

As I’ve said many times: the issue of airborne transmission and respiratory infection in healthcare isn’t a controversy. It’s a scandal.

here's a plain-language explainer for anyone who wanted one:

On CBC Radio the "regressive movements" that are pushing anti-vaxxers to confront their doctors with misinformation is being discussed. The Canadian Medical Association is concerned that there is a war on Science. Good to hear they're on Team Science. How about supporting respirators & clean air?

Our conservative run neighbour has rapid tests for free. Please take a minute to ask the @susanholtnb.bsky.social government why it is not possible for us to have the same. (That’s it)

It’s the brunch and gala and school breakfast world and we are just dying in it. Our god damn kids should have clean air in schools and daycares by now. And imagine the amazing impact that would have on the healthcare system. Imagine we wouldn’t have to hear ER overcapacity every damn day.

What fresh horrors await us in 2025-2026, as Canada’s “education systems” that claim to teach science, critical thinking, equity and health (and also claim to be inclusive) uniformly continue to make all kids and workers breathe contaminated air?

www.cbsnews.com/video/millio... Populism normalised this. It normalised millions of children being unprotected for airborne transmission of a virus that causes organ damage and this is ongoing. This is not ok and it’s not normal for governments to wash their hands of responsibility.

Israel split a child in half last night. There will be no headlines. There will be no condemnation.

& what happened with Gill Deacon? There was much discussion about her Cancer diagnosis & open concern around it. Not so much her long covid!! CBC's response to Covid has undermined my trust of them on all issues. Been so disappointing and I'm sorry you were forced to resign. Thanks for fighting.

Every $5 donation sends one box of masks to a requester, helping them stay safe. 😷 Our goal is to raise $7,500 during our Spring Fundraiser, which will help put thousands of masks in the hands of those in need. 💙 donatemask.ca/fundraiser

I should’ve known our society had dangerously low levels of empathy by the way people behaved regarding Covid precautions 😐

It’s rather obvious who Brian Macdonald supports given his enthusiasm to attend Trump’s first inauguration and excitedly submitting his photo to the newspaper to let everyone know he attended.

Canadiana double bill on this freezing rain Sunday. The last tour of the Tragically Hip movingly documented in Long Time Running, and the 2024 comprehensive tribute to Blue Rodeo, Still Together — both free on CBC Gem. Highly recommend both. Warm fuzzy Canadian afternoon.

All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing. Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases. No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

🚨This. Is. How. You. Do. It. 🚨

Here is the manifesto co-signed by @longcovidaragon @COVID19persist1 @winslow_la @covid_madrid @LongCovidItalia @TooLongCovidBe @CLsolidaire @longcovidIB @covidcvalencia @NotRecoveredBel and Associação Portuguesa de Covid Longo in English, to scroll down 1/9

Dear PM @mark-carney.bsky.social: Yesterday was Long COVID Awareness Day. 1 in 5 Canadians have had Long COVID—many still unable to work. Each infection raises the risk. Like the climate crisis, it’s preventable. A strong, sovereign Canada must invest in clean air, N95 masks, and education. -Ryan

God damnit. This makes me so angry given the fight we’ve had since 2020 to protect against airborne transmission in hospitals and other congregate settings. It’s the worst “I told you so” montreal.citynews.ca/2025/03/12/q...

It’s Long Covid Awareness Week, and we need governments to make long Covid a priority. So we’re asking YOU to send a letter to your federal and provincial/territorial representatives, urging them to fund long Covid awareness, research, and support. #ILCAD2025 #LongCovidAwarenessDay 1/2

Powerful essay by Siddhartha Mukherjee on how Covid pandemic destroyed the idea of health as a public good and made it into a private responsibility "The deeper message is that we’re all on our own, fighting our private battles. I fear we will come to regret it" www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/o...

For years, folks looked the other way as millions died or became disabled by Covid. They shouted “your health is not my responsibility” or “only the vulnerable” were at risk. This callous disregard for human life has desensitized us. It helped pave the way for the current atrocities.

Seriously??? Funniest thing I've seen all day I thank my Canadian Friends

From @dickzoutman.bsky.social of the @cancovsoc.bsky.social: “The COVID pandemic has had devastating impacts on Canadians and on the health care system in particular. Our political leaders need to address the impacts that COVID has had and is continuing to have given the pandemic has not ended,”

I wrote about how doctors repurposed this myth with regards to Covid. sciencebasedmedicine.org/healthy/

www.infectioncontroltoday.com/view/covid-1... Social media has spread antivaxxer misinformation and it has seeped into everything because it’s now not popular to discuss the actual truth.

This is 100% the next step for a society that has collapsed any semblance of a social safety net and has broken down regulations, public health and any other measures that would lessen epigenetic contributors to disability. Sicken and debilitate people, then call them useless eaters and eliminate

@thebreakdownab.bsky.social provides outstanding illumination of critical political issues in #abpoli I remember well the time Nate welcomed me to share how Premier Smith's announced anti-trans policies contributed to the death of my nephew by suicide. Join me to help savethebreakdownab.ca.

The great thing about this video is that it's shot in Quebec — meaning this Cybertruck is legally required to have snow tires on. It has snow tires and it STILL can't move.

Those who campaign on climate change will be familiar with the Koch foundation. Covid & Climate change are two sides of the same coin.

This is extremely serious. The institutional medical culture that drives many clinicians never to admit an error or lack of understanding, and double down instead, means having these people using AI like this is a recipe for disaster.

I think this is why @natepike.bsky.social and @thebreakdownab.bsky.social are being sued. "Tylenol" was purchased from a company associated with Dr. Oz, who is close to Erdogan. The med shortage was cooked up to provide cover to give $80M of tax dollars to Erdogan's reelection. 👇 From 2023

"How can intellectuals be trusted to look ahead in 'planning the future' when they’re shutting their eyes to the present pandemic and its ongoing harms?"

Both my parents died of cancer. My birth mother and my adoptive father. I could not IMAGINE them going through cancer in a world like this. Especially my father. I mean these piece of shit doctors wont even wear masks on the oncology ward anymore per alot of patients.

You can't just care about public health after you lose an election. You have to care about it all the time.

Modi is IDU. Trump is IDU. Netanyahu is IDU. Orban is IDU. Bolsonaro was IDU. The fuckwit who just tried to pull a coup in South Korea is IDU. Ford and PP are IDU. And Harper leads the whole shebang.

Remember

Canada First is a white nationalist slogan from the Proud Boys This was a hate rally.

As the US imposes massive tariffs on Canada and threatens to annex it, it's important to understand how much we can depend on Danielle Smith's government, like cabinet minister Devin Dreeshen, to stand up to Trump.

He said kids don’t spread Covid in April 2020 and never looked back. m.youtube.com/watch?v=8CxQ...

It took me years to admit to myself (and others) that I was disabled. My disabilities are invisible & I used a tremendous amount of energy keeping them hidden Ableism is powerful, and internalized ableism is a difficult thing to wrestle with If society were more inclusive, we wouldn’t be so scared
