It appears operatives are grossly expanding the candidate list in Poilievre's riding, in hopes that voters won't recognize Bruce Fanjoy's name on the ballot. Can those in Ottawa please help? Perhaps funds or help with signs or amplifying his name on social media? #canpoli #cdnpoli #BruceFanjoy

3 people in intensive care with MEASLES in Ontario. In normal times the CMOH would be shown the door for this. In our dumb time, the CMOH pops out of his apparent hidey-hole to say the situation is “stable”. www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7501094

Why do we have articles about the rise of measles in our communities without the first statement being: this is entirely preventable so please vaccinate your children to keep them and everybody else safe? Numbers help no one without a recommendation on how to stop measles. #Vaccinate

Hey, American academics: Run your conferences in Canada.

Elon Musk is evil. There is no other word for it. Please join the Tesla takedown rallies. There is one in Kitchener Ontario Saturday 10 AM. 663 Victoria Street North.

If anyone reading this is wondering why so many people on the pro-science end of the spectrum are so viscerally opposed to letting Dr Henry anywhere near the CMOH job, here's a thread for you. Due to her legacy of failure there are a lot of reasons, so it's fairly long: bsky.app/profile/mark...

The federal government should immediately ban Canadian cable companies from carrying FOX News, which is actively pushing disinformation threatening our sovereignty. Why are we contributing to this dogshit organization's revenue?

Kitchener Centre MP Mike Morrice would like to see progressive parties co-ordinate resources to avoid vote-splitting in federal ridings, which was a fear in the Feb. 27 Ontario election.

We really need to have a natsec convo

Premier Ford is right. The only way to end this dark idiocy is to ramp it up. Tiptoeing around a thug is a recipe for disaster. This is elbows up tie. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/03/06/o...

Jeff Douglas has updated the "I am Canadian" ad, and it hits hard. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lzh...

Say no to ULINE office supplies. ULINE is a terrible American company. Switch to non-American office supplies.

Advocating for better air isn't just a Covid thing. It's important for all airborne viruses -- and cognition. Better indoor air in schools would reduce student and staff illness and absences and help kids learn better.

I think that Ontario starlink contract ought to stay ripped up

I was hopeful CDC was still having discussions with partners in other countries, like PHAC in Canada but it seems that may not be the case. This makes it all the more important to buy local bc we won’t get real-time info on things like recalls & contaminations. Via @jessicamalaty.bsky.social

Alcohol in private stores: $1.4 billion Building infrastructure for a private spa: $2.2 billion Redundant highway: $10 billion Cost of Ford’s government: 73% increase Early election with a majority already: $175 million Doug Bucks election bribes: $3 billion Defenestrating Doug: Priceless

Hey everyone…had a conversation with the @uoftpandemics.bsky.social SM manager about why they should get off twitter A plea: their bsky account is a shell right now, but if we could get them some followers here I bet we could get them to switch Please consider following 🙏🙏🙏

PSA: rapid tests that have expired are still good to use as long as a control line appears. Kitchener-Waterloo Peeps: if you need a box of (expired) tests to make your holiday gatherings safer please send me a DM and I will hook you up.

This is a pattern that’s been recognized for some time…respiratory infections diffuse up the age gradient. Daycares and schools are amplifiers. For diseases that spread through air, a focus on ventilation and filtration in areas where kids could probably blunt this

I found this book from the Ontario Science Centre. The copyright is 1985. Such good memories.

There's clearly a lot of room for growth on this list so if you are, or know someone, on this site who is a current or past elected official or current/past candidate, please let me know so I can add them! #ONpoli #WRpoli go.bsky.app/TYpRun5

Not all wastewater surveillance is the same. Eg, when I checked with PHAC on their approach, they stated that they did not normalize the virus data using PMMoV because the data was too "noisy". This means that changes in wastewater volume could distort the trends of covid or other viral particles.

Good to find Bill here.

Hey peeps. How's it all going here?

Hey, fellow high risk Ontario friends!!! Don’t forget that you are eligible NOW for updated COVID-19 and flu shots. Take advantage of the earlier dose for maximum protection during this respiratory virus season. Let’s keep ourselves out of the hospital this Fall and Winter.

There's a myth that long COVID doesn't affect kids. Because they didn't get severe disease. But the newest research indicates 6 million kids may have long COVID-serious physical & mental problems. This--not lockdowns--can account for historic poor school performance. Read how we can fix this. 🧪🩺

"Covide longueur is a common condition but hard not to take personally. It’s a weather system that moves throughout your body, like Hurricane Milton suddenly shifting a little south of Tampa. Why? No reason. A whim. Nature is indifferent to you but will turn you into rubble." #LongCovid
