That 16% has been revised upwards, as it included a cohort that included those with the older, much less effective vaccine. For those vaccinated with Shingrix, the reduction of dementia diagnoses downstream may be well over 50%. The data are still coming.

I signed this petition calling on the government of Canada to end the "Safe Third Country Agreement" - please consider doing it as well. you.leadnow.ca/petitions/st...

BREAKING: A federal judge reportedly wants to begin fining Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche $10,000 daily until they stop "flagrantly disregarding the unambiguous legal mandate to uncensor the names of Epstein's accomplices in his decades of sex-trafficking, torture, and murder."

So this petition seems like a "no brainer" to support - a proposed change to a rule would allow horses to continue competing in equestrian events when they are showing evidence of bleeding, which is currently prohibited. I signed, you may want to as well. c.org/2JcJRxx7mP

So I've read lots & lots of really good articles that lay bare the nonsense of "horseshoe theory", but this tweet neatly does it in a few sentences. 👍

“His diplomatic output in this country has been laced with the edgy aggression of a minor bully punching a kid in the head, while glancing over to see if the alpha bully approves of his work.”

So because of the Aberta gvt forcing a teachers strike, I've been forced to take over the guidance of my youngest's education. Among other things, we've been reading Plato's the republic. We were in the "allegory of the cave" section yesterday. This passage always makes me

I just want to log this in the annals. We knew climate change was real. We knew there were solutions. We chose to destroy the biosphere for the profits of a tiny minority. Governments & regulatory agencies went along. Sociopathic self-destruction, not need.

Enjoy what you voted for, morons.

They hate disabled people. Their minions here do too.

So just to be clear, not a drag queen?

It's rare for a column of mine to stay on the hot list a day beyond its publish date. This is Monday's column. On a Thursday night, riding at number 2. Maybe I'm right about the future of the Canadian auto manufacturing industry? driving.ca/column/lorra...

a very spooky tutorial

PASSIVE AGGRESSION TRANSLATED

What a joke.

This you, Kristi?

So long as the House stays out of session, he’ll keep refusing to seat Rep. Grijalva—the 218th vote on the Epstein files discharge petition. See how desperate they are?

Now the White House doesn’t want to give furloughed workers back pay once the government reopens, even though Trump signed the 2019 law requiring it. Disgraceful.

This was never about deporting criminals. It’s about Stephen Miller’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

This is well said. Trump and Noem need to back off before we have another Kent State tragedy.

So one of the things sludge propagandists, like to toss around is this idea that Alberta's reserves are worth 9 TRILLION DOLLARS MWHA HA HA! Like all good propagandists they don't tell you the details, like that's 130 years of extraction or the fact that we've already got

The handshake deals between friends and donors is constantly being found out, but for some reason this damn government keeps getting re-elected.

Speed cameras help deter drivers from driving at speeds that significantly increase the danger to pedestrians, particularly children. Premier Doug Ford banning municipalities from using speed cameras is a dangerous step backwards - please consider signing chng.it/jbdB67YP8Y

It's so frustrating how stupid climate change disinformation is & yet how effective it is. In a hundred years whatever is left of humanity, if it still has advanced civilization, is going to be amazed that we allowed the most evil industry in history to lie to us & control our gvts

Shitty people and their habits.

Presumably on issues under its constitutional jurisdiction, but still audacious. However, environmental issues are shared jurisdiction, and the treaty-making power belongs to Ottawa and Ottawa alone. This is quite obviously for political points.

The Palais des Nations in Geneva, a significant UN building, has often shut off things like escalators to save on costs. So it’s not exactly a far fetched comment.

I guess we should thank Donald Trump for making the relationship between fossil fuels and fascism explicit.

No real surprise either. An industry that has spent the last 40 years deliberately lying & undermining actions on a product that is literally destabilizing our entire planet. Democracy is certainly not going to offer any moral barrier.

So this right here is your child's future. "The first emergence of unprecedented global water scarcity in the Anthropocene" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is sickening. Apparently you can only have an opinion if it conforms to the corporate overlords. You can only talk about uncomfortable truths if they don't make the wrong people uncomfortable.

Maybe we can take a break from giving standing ovations to controversial US citizens in Canadian parliament to reflect on this. This is a pretty accepted list of the traits of fascism & fascists, but yeah it's violence to call it out. That's probably #9.

Damn! ICE won't have enough ice for that burn!

city: we're going to enforce speed limits angry drivers: this is an unfair cash grab. If you want people to drive slower, change the streets city: we're changing the streets so people drive slower angry drivers: not like that

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue deadline.com/2024/07/jimm...

Fired for refusing to fabricate evidence to help get someone else fired. That’s where we are.

History rhymes a bit too well sometimes.

One of the best tributes to the late Ken Dryden, in today’s @TheStar.com He humbles all of us. 🍁😔🍁 www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Alberta’s illiterate Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith doesn’t appreciate that pictures can be drawn with words too. “We’ve got’em now,” she fantasizes. 🤷🏼🤭😉😂🤷🏼

Always knew Preston Manning was a neofascist. Suave, in that fake hayseed way of his, but neofascist nonetheless. Perhaps he’s now at work polishing up Nigel Farage’s rough edges? 🤔🧐🙄

Doubtless, Ms Urback is dying for the NDP to revive so as to split the centre and centre-left vote and allow the Conservatives to sneak into power by the right side door. But what if all those disaffected working class males that piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s been wooing migrate back to the NDP?

Ending vaccine mandates risks kids’ lives. Period. 🍁🍁🍁

Local woman wakes up, starts a banned book club for the handful of politicians and parent groups who haven't read any of the books they're offended by and that'll occupy all their time so they can leave the rest of us to read whatever we like, makes oatmeal.

BREAKING: Eric Trump is reportedly upset that his dad sends Jeffrey Epstein birthdays cards but has never gotten one himself.

The premise of our 5th column in Alberta is that Canada's resource wealth should not be shared with Canadians, but given to grifters & the US. I'm not sure how this has become so popular. The wealth of Canada belongs to Canadians. Equalization one of the ways that happens.

Just feel like this shouldn't leave collective consciousness. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

The 2025 Great Cycle Challenge Canada ends Aug 31st, I have 27 km left to reach my goal of 300 km by then. I also need $152 in donations to fight kids’ cancer for my $500 fundraising goal. You could help by donating at greatcyclechallenge.ca/riders/RobLee2 or share my request for other to see.
