We are so careful that I donβt even breathe on him if I eat a wrap or something, I go brush my teeth, etc.

I donβt allow it in my travel trailer either. I eat a lot less of it, but my kids eat bread etc. when he comes down I put the toaster away.

8. Thereβs almost always a freezer shelf somewhere even in a rural grocery store that has the dedicated gf stuff like pizza dough etc
9. Itβs actually pretty easy to eat at home.
5. Most gf bread/wraps are gross. we donβt bother, thereβs only a couple of high-end places we bother with baking from, itβs not a priority tho
6. You have to interrogate the resto kitchen setup if you want to eat at a place. Like, to a level of demanding-ness that will make you uncomfortable
New cast iron! Sorry, you have to. And of course new colanders and cooking utensils. And blenders etc etc.
4. We donβt just order the GF thing on the menu. We have to be so much more careful than that. Mostly we only eat out at dedicated GF places now. It sux, but thatβs his level of sensitivity
This happened to me! My partner diagnosed at age 56, and heβs not just a little bit celiac. Itβs very serious. Was a year ago. We have learned a LOT
1. The reaction to x-contam gets far worse over time
2. You canβt trust buffets and most restos, Iβm sorry to report
3. New cutting boards but also
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. Itβs absolutely flabbergasting.

The Carney government is offside from the vast majority of Canadians here. It's time to reverse course here and respect the right to strike.
"Dr. James Talbot, the province's former chief medical officer of health, said the government appears to be doing everything it can to make this year's immunization campaign a "failure" by making it less available, less accessible and less affordable."

one of the smart things that Newsom is doing here is implicitly calling out the insanity of how much Trump has been normalized by media by forcing them to think about what it looks like when somebody else does it

I think the mandate is probably dead man walking. Another related issue is whether the tariffs on Chinese EVs remain in place. A broader question of industrial policy and canola tariffs vs affordable EVs.

15.08.2025 02:45 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Employment figures demonstrate the impact that this has had on workers. Where once the level of employment in the sector was characterised by periods of 'boom' and 'bust', depending on fluctuations in the global oil price, after 2012 jobs became decoupled from profits and production levels. Employment in the sector peaked in 2012, at 38 jobs per thousand barrels of oil per day produced. By 2023, it was at 22 jobs per thousand barrels - a 43% decrease, despite the fact that oil and gas production grew 47% during the same period.
Important new report from Pembina Institute that gets into the details of how employment trends in the oil industry have fundamentally changed, production growth doesn't mean jobs in the way it did during the previous boom/busts and decarbonization isnt a job driver. www.pembina.org/pub/drilling...

It is the Oppositionβs job to make sure citizens know what the government is up to, especially in todayβs fractured media environment.
I would never have intervened in the process when our govt did a boundaries review. It would have been as highly inappropriate then as it is now.
The question for @albertandp.ca is whether they are going to allow this to happen. Right now, Lethbridge voters donβt know gerrymandering is likely.
