Canada has to import Bauxite. There aren't any domestic mines.

Ah, you reworded from "increased by 121%" to "is 121% of what it was". "Increased by 21%" is a much clearer statement. Using 121% in that way is trying to mislead with statistics.

Mechanistic movement models to predict geographic range expansions of ticks and tick-borne pathogens: Case studies with Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum in eastern North America The geographic range of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, is expanding northward from the United States into southern Canada, and studies sugge…

I see you deleted your original reply (in order to orphan my correction?) but didn't correct yourself. That is an increase of 21% not 121%.

My original 30-fold did not account for that. Let's adjust my 3000% down to 2979% due to population growth.

That's an increase of 21%.

No, I *think* is not a substitute for a breadth of knowledge and resources, but a blanket "it's not climate change" doesn't leverage that. It's about as convincing as:

Yes, a volcano went off nearby, but don't overlook that animals sometimes lose their desire to breathe.

1 & 2 are good points.
3, I don't believe there's been a behavioral change in Canada comparable to the scale of climate change.
4 is an odd one. People aren't avoiding repellents that weren't widely known or commercially available until recently enough to affect stats.

You said it's unlikely related to climate change. I think climate change is the most significant factor for increase in Canada, but I'm open to counter-arguments or counter-examples.

Case counts in Canada have increased more than 30-fold since 2009. www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

Best of luck to him on figuring it out.

The Hypermobility question would have led me in the direction of CCI otherwise.

Meige Syndrome? www.cambridge.org/core/service...

S Blitshteyn MD, FAAN, FANA, Dysautonomia Clinic on X: "This meta-analysis confirms my clinical observation that pre-existing allergies, asthma or other features of mast cell hyperactivity may be risk factors for #LongCovid. Another probable risk factor is joint hypermobility syndrome that may be undiagnosed. Finally, in our paper" / X This meta-analysis confirms my clinical observation that pre-existing allergies, asthma or other features of mast cell hyperactivity may be risk factors for #LongCovid.

Ask him whether he has hyper mobility in his joints. That seems to make people susceptible for certain Long Covid conditions. x.com/dysclinic/st...

I saw it there in the 70s, and at the re-opening in 2017. I'd forgotten the opening 'hook'. Wow! Excellent filmmaking.

Organ damage and broken bones to teens, and she only pays $1500 each for "emotional harm"?

Careless driving in a foreign country while responsible for passengers!

Keep in mind, some percentage of accounts are bots or sock-puppets, paid for by foreign adversaries in order to sow discord. Lower percentage here than on Twitter, but not zero.

Analysis: How Canada's Housing Market Got So Harsh - NerdWallet Forty years of economic, demographic and real estate data reveal how the market became so challenging and what buyers can do to improve their chances of success.

Almost twice as many years of gross income to buy a house in 2020 than in 2000. See the price to income Ratio table over time here: www.nerdwallet.com/ca/mortgages...

There ought to be a requirement for informed consent, which includes "financially informed".

Also, many government programs create efficiencies. Well-maintained roads support trade. Preventive healthcare improves quality of life and reduces unemployment, social assistance and saves long term healthcare costs. Fire fighters save the cost of having to rebuild...

Unfortunately, most vendors don't have processes that extend much past "asking for a password reset", certainly few have any way to report abusive reset attempts.

As long as you aren't using SMS for one-time codes, you can ignore the requests. If you're using SMS, consider using a more secure MFA.

Geosynchronous Ka and Ku have 1/10th the bandwidth, and 8x the latency. So maybe useful for some applications, but unfortunately aren't equivalent to Starlink.

What comparable system of satellites do you think Canada has?

People had been hoping the US would have its first woman president. Now you do.

Don't forget overloaded ERs and privatizing healthcare.

If you're comfortable sleeping on your back, putting a roll/pillow under your knees is better for the joints (so gravity doesn't pull them straight into over extension), and might make you less likely to roll over.

Not the type you're looking for, but this is a unique Danish style of rotating slicer for two blocks that you might find interesting www.core77.com/posts/103482...

I haven't seen any, nor seen details enough to know whether Canadian sightings are similar to the US ones.

This seemed like a thorough analysis from someone with industry expertise. x.com/Scarlet_NOZA...

People aren't good at connecting cause and effect when there's a time delay before the effect. There are still many articles like "why has the rate of X increased dramatically?"

Until the average person hears otherwise, regularly and consistently, most are assuming "everything is back to normal".

Those who need regex but refuse to learn them, are doomed to re-implement parser concepts, only worse.
