๐จ This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.
This is not incompetence. Itโs a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

Can you #FindThatLizard
Last weekend, I went to Big Bear with some friends. Although itโs getting to the end of lizard season, I was hoping to get a few #FindThatLizard photos. I knew if nothing else, the western fence lizard Sceloporus occidentalis wouldnโt disappoint me.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in bed. Green has just woken up, bleary-eyed, while Blue is still sound asleep. Green narrates.
Green, narrating: You might wake up at 5 on a cold, dark monday to the sound of someone scraping frost off their windshield.
Still sleepy-eyed, Green turns towards sleeping Blue.
Green, continuing to narrate: But you are warm, safe and cozy, in bed with the love of your life.
Closing his eyes again, Green cuddles up to Blue.
Green, narrating: One of life's sweet, fleeting moments of pure and perfect bliss.
Blue wakes up, both foxes are bleary-eyed and half-asleep.
Blue: Can you get off me? I need to go pee.
Green, still narrating: Very fleeting.

A golden brown, perfectly cooked turkey is suspended horizontally in a bbq on a spit, there are orange flames from the rotisserie burner behind it and a pan with delicious drippings beneath it.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We had our dinner last night so today is all about making stock from the bones. Forgot to get pictures of the whole feast, but here's our bird on the rotisserie. If you've never tried rotisserie turkey you should, it's delicious!

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didnโt believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

๐งต Fact: #mRNA is a normal part of cells, it acts like an instruction manual to build proteins. mRNA covid #vaccines send cells instructions to build a specific part of the virus. This spike protein can't cause covid but will warn our immune system. mRNA and the protein break down quickly into waste.

Why the CMA Must Break with the AMA
If the CMA follows AMAโs lead, it is only a matter of time before convoy-aligned doctors in Canada are positioned as โexpertsโ inside Ottawa.
Florida just equated childhood vaccination with slavery.
The CMAโs response? Linking arms with the AMAโan institution that looked away as disinformation captured U.S. medicine.
Solidarity isnโt policy. Canada needs independence, not borrowed outrage.

Its impossible to overstate the importance of this. As time drags on and the USA falls further into fascism, the US institutions Canada has deferred to and aligned with will become less and less trustworthy. Many are already tools of the MAGA fascist state.
