Building a stronger Canada can only happen in full partnership with First Nations, Inuit, and MΓ©tis.

Thank you to the leaders of the National Indigenous Organizations for a productive and wide-ranging discussion today. It is the first of many.

Screenshot:

Recovering from measles does not protect against cancer or any other disease besides measles. In fact, a measles infection has the ability to wipe out immune responses built up against other infectionsβ€” a phenomenon called immune amnesia, driven by the destruction of memory T- and B-cells. This leaves people who recover from the measles virus more vulnerable to all other germs.

This bears repeating.

The whole, β€˜good for your immune system’ rhetoric is nonsense generally, but it’s PARTICULARLY dangerous when it comes to measles πŸ‘‡

Beautiful everyday Ladybird things.

A print of a photograph of a bearded man lying on the output tray of a large printer. The photo is of a man named Charlie who was experiencing homelessness when I spoke to him in 2016. The photo is from the Outsiders Project documenting homelessness and substandard housing across Britain.

The Outsiders touring exhibition will be shown next at Blackpool Central Library from 14 April to 25 May 2025. This will be the pin-up version of the exhibition, essentially the same display which was shown inside the Houses of Parliament in January last year.

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages in four years, report says Nuffield Trust says supply chains have shifted, with medicines for epilepsy and cystic fibrosis among those now scarce

β€œWhile drug shortages have become a problem globally in recent years, the UK is facing β€œa worsening situation” compared with the rest of Europe because of Brexit”

Excellent work, Brexiters.
Absolutely nailing our sovereign right to be self-harmingly idiotic.

One man does not make the US a rogue state. It is also an entire political party enabling him and the other doing nothing to resist. It's mainstream media normalizing. It's institutions obeying in advance.

If you work in the American tourism industry be prepared to bring a book to work because the world has no plans on visiting you.
