Every parent and educator in Ontario needs to be alarmed that Paul Calandra is visiting charter schools. His government has starved our public schools of resources. The next page in the Conservative playbook is to offer privatization as the solution to problems they caused.

Australia's Heart Foundation just launched an info campaign on the harms of COVID to cardiovascular health - good to see! But current vaccines only reduce risk of heart damage, they do not eliminate it. We need masking, clean indoor air, better prevention & next gen vaccines

Health Canada puts out guidelines recommending N95s and clean indoor air! Let’s do this! Yes it’s overdue, and no it doesn’t address every risk factor, but we can significantly curb COVID with respirator use and clean air. www.canada.ca/content/dam/...

"I just wish I knew the magic words to reach people willing to jettison decades of evidence and research for something they read online," writes IDSA member Morgan Goheen, MD, PhD, in a new HuffPost op-ed on how open dialogue can help bridge divides over infectious diseases. https://bit.ly/4nDdMav

Global renewable energy generation surpasses coal for first time

Prepare for sleeves and elbows up, Canadians! Everyone >6 months is eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine (LP.8.1). It will provide fourfold increase in antibody levels. In our family practice, we expect to receive the vaccine mid-October. We’ve already booked our patients for flu & Covid-boosters. 🇨🇦💉

Violet Affleck is to the Covid movement what Greta Thunberg is to climate. Both represent the next generation, are articulate, focused, & grounded in science. That scares people. And there's a gendered aspect to all the vitriol they face

We have schools in #OntEd with condemned ventilation systems, electrical issues, leaking rooftops, and crumbling walls. Parents of children with special needs are being asked to keep their kids home due to a lack of special education staff. Bill 33 does nothing to solve this.

I’m honored to serve on the Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air, joining leaders from nearly 30 countries who are dedicated to making healthy indoor air a global priority. From cutting-edge science to effective real-world solutions. #HealthyIndoorAir #GlobalCommissionHIA #HealthyBuildings #IAQ

The organizers of the UN event for healthy indoor air used a canary on all their materials and gave everyone canary pins. Why? Canaries detect dangerous substances in the air of coal mines. We all need to be like canaries and warn about the dangers of unhealthy indoor air due to COVID and climate.

Today's essential listen for all who care about patient and HCW safety. Dr. Iris Gorfinkel talks about masking policies in health care settings as cases of COVID-19, flu and RSV rise www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.

Denmark close to wiping out leading cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out A nationwide study suggests infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 have been virtually eliminated since vaccination began in 2008 – protecting even unvaccinated women

Let's cheer the Canadian women dominating world rugby. They had to crowd source to raise the money to even get into the tournament. Nobody took them seriously. They crushed the New Zealand giants. They are going into the finals. Come on fellow Canucks - is the real miracle team. So proud.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

The thing about this is, a HUUUUUGE amount of what NASA does is earth science. Most of the reason we are able to see Earth and what’s happening here is because of NASA. This would be like blinding us to our own planet.

Don't believe me. Read the science. Google Long COVID. COVID & heart disease (CVD). COVID & diabetes. COVID & cancer. COVID & immune damage. COVID & neurological disease. The information is right on your phone. Russian roulette. You're pulling the trigger every reinfection. 😷

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has released a draft standard requiring masks (like N95s) in health care settings to stop airborne infections. There is a strong attempt to push back against this, so need your public comments to get this through: publicreview.csa.ca/Home/View/22...

We need to recognize that this is not a problem that is going away. Extreme heat waves and poor air are quality are becoming the norm in summer months. Please check in on your neighbours who don’t have A/C, especially elders and those with medical conditions.

We need to prepare for next year. All schools, daycares and long term care facilities need to have augmented air cleaning and N95s.
