I apparently see a situation that is much more nuanced than your all or nothing perspective.

Meeting on trade with many foreign leaders to open new markets, while trying to negotiate with largest historical trading partner == capitulation. Ok, I see.

How is that capitulation, let alone "the definition of"?

New rule for GPs after 27-year-old's cancer missed

Jessica was told her symptoms were related to long Covid and that she was "too young for cancer". She died from advanced stage 4 cancer later that year, aged 27.

Paradoxical?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
