LaSalle’s children’s clinic closing due to health-care reforms The Centre medical pour enfants Lasalle will need to close in the spring due to Quebec's new health-care law.

A perfect example of why health care (in addition to rising anti-anglophone nationalism) is one of the biggest reasons we're leaving Quebec.

I'd love for everyone who called me and others a pessimist for not believing Netanyahu, the IDF, and Trump on the "end of the war [sic: invasion]" to apologise.

But they won't.

Because they haven't got the guts. And it doesn't suit their anti-Palestine narrative.

Someone on tiktok challenged people to find something more beautiful.
Ok, the Musée Albert-Kahn, which wasn't lived in by absolute bigots while regular people on who built it suffered every day of their lives.
If you enjoy walking around in a 17th Century Mar-a-Lago, go ahead. I find it despicable.

Bird flu patient dies, marking second U.S. fatality in 2025 The Washington state resident, an older adult with underlying conditions, was infected with a strain that has previously been reported in animals but never before in humans.

Hey, I know!.. Why don't we all ignore this!
Or better yet, file it under "underlying condition" like when everyone white took their masks off because Covid was found to more strongly affect people of colour.

Bird flu killed someone.
Again.

Maybe the journalists should be "frank" with her. I'm sure they can come up with a lot of "frankness" towards her.

🤣

49% OF COVID INFECTIONS ARE ASYMPTOMATIC, which means you may not know if you are actually sick. This is why it's important to take a multilayered approach (one or more of the following) to protect yourselves and others: N95 and KN95 masks HEPA air filtration Good ventilation (carbon dioxide <800 parts per million) Up-to-date vaccinations Rapid tests before gathering Attention to wastewater levels of COVID-19 Yale SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH Sources: The Lancet Regional Health, CDC

Some important information almost zero people in my tax bracket will understand how to operationalize:

Mask up, punks!!

Wish there was more general compassion in disability spaces on this site & less judgment overall. People aren't bad if they don't share every belief that you do. Infighting is never the way to go & these times are hard enough

The hypocrisy is fucking staggering...

Despite living in New York, Toronto and Paris, I have never been so presently aware of the problem of homelessness than the past 3 years in Montreal.

Not even close to those other cities.

Not to be a further buzzkill, but flu shots are only 50% effective max, are only valid for the known strain in autumn and ineffective by mid winter when it's mutated. And Covid shots do nothing to prevent spread, just to prevent extreme illness to you. And 50% of people have no symptoms.
Masks work.

Horrible qu'on n'en parle plus, mais tout à fait compréhensible vu la manque total de sympathie du monde. Ils disent, "nous sommes tout seuls" et ils ont raison.

If you speak French, vital essential listening. Unless, of course, you want to keep believing it's normal to have repeated colds that last longer than a few days.

The only thing crystal clear from the lack of weight the Epstein email story has today is how many high level people are clearly involved as well. Because otherwise, where are the important voices demanding answers?

Nowhere, because they don't want to provoke fingers getting pointed their way.

The statement by the MP and the headline are perfect examples of the centuries old brilliance of writing in British journalism.

Jasmine Crockett.

One of the only honourable members of congress in the US.

A "splinter group of Democrats".
AKA: assholes.

Caving splinter groups of liberals are ruining the whole world.

Stop it. With. The fucking AI.

It's ridiculous, it's dangerous, the world has an AI fetish, and it's competely out of control.
Enough.

Brave New World.

I've rarely declared something appalling. But this is appalling. Leaves an unpleasant taste in the mouth at the idea of watching anything BBC anymore. As if the Lineker fiasco wasn't enough.

Thank goodness for #Channel4 and #ITV.

It's gotten absolutely out of hand. I don't trust Universities any more than I trust media/tech companies now.

I have a new way of responding when people ask me why I’m still wearing a mask.

“I learned this habit when the C-19 pandemic started. What did you learn from it?”

“You still wearing a mask? Bro, it’s 2025.”

Me: “You still huffing a vasculopathic, neuroinvasive biohazard?”

Britain sliding 'into economic crisis' over £85bn sickness bill, ex-John Lewis boss warns The number of people who are out of work for health reasons has grown by 800,000 since 2019.

"800,000 more people out of work now than in 2019 due to health conditions"

Hmm... I wonder what that could be caused by? I'm racking my brain. What, since 2019, could possibly be making, keeping people so sick they can't fucking work if Covid is apparently over?

Oh, Jagmeet... Canada's left let you down. Not your fault. My wife @anamtl.bsky.social and I gave you our vote. Her first as a Canadian. Made us very proud.

How much longer will you keep focusing on his racial backgrounds, @nytimes.com?

Let me help you: NYers are NYers. That has always come first, and should always come first.

Even though we left 12 years ago, moments like this make me so proud and it's why we're New Yorkers for life.

Well done, Zohran. You did it right, you did it old school, you did it knocking on doors, and you didn't do it with the endorsement of tyrants. Congrats 👍🥂
