Also seems like the New York Times replaced The New York Times with the MyPillow guy’s outlet too…

I’ll admit I don’t like it. It used to be kind of funny, but when you always hear β€œUSA, USA” and then many are lacking the fortitude to wear that flag? As a Canadian it does rub me the wrong way now.

And also β€œAnd it’s ironic in light of American exceptionalism. If America is the greatest country on earth, Canadians ask online, why are Americans concealing their nationality and hiding behind another flag?”

As a REAL Canadian - from the article β€œIt’s cosplaying; cultural theft and appropriation; makes a mockery of the Canadian flag; ruins Canadian goodwill and the country’s reputation around the world. It’s fraudulent; arrogant; cowardly and entitled”

How to tell me you haven’t read the bible without telling me you actually haven’t read the bible! Eesh.

Bang on. How do we explain this to our β€œfiscally responsible” UCP government?

How does Alberta's new COVID-19 vaccine policy compare to other provinces? We asked | CBC News Alberta's decision to reduce access to publicly funded COVID-19 vaccines so farΒ appears to set the province on a different course than many other Canadian jurisdictions.

Great reporting here. This story highlights how anti-vax and anti-science the UCP are. They gaslight the public to support their anti-vax ideology. If vaccines are being wasted, that is on them, not the public. They should improve uptake, not eliminate access.

I bet there are variations every 30 min for sure. That’s why I’m thinking hourly as you are sort of averaging over time/geography.

Maybe only once an hour for the update? How much localized variation would there be in air quality anyway? North side vs south, down in valley, etc. I know distance is not time, but still might reduce over reporting, people tuning out?

He doesn’t want to sanction an adversary in order to reach a peace deal, but he will sanction (tariff) an ally to force a trade deal. Stupid? Or traitor? Or stupid traitor?
