In case the 5 people that are following me want to read a good book… 🙂coming April 2027. Labour of love for me to write this book, detailing one of the largest, longest running, and least known human experiments in history. My Dad was one of these human Guinea pigs.

Our #PsychologyMonth series continues with Dr. Maddy Sheppard-Perkins, Sabina Greenley, and a look at how the effects of COVID are still being felt by children in schools, particularly in rural settings where incidents of family violence remain elevated.

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

Canadian babies aren't vaccinated against measles until they are 12 months old.

Given the increasing prevalence of measles, that's something to consider when taking your baby out in public.

It's also a good reason for the rest of us to wear a respirator--to protect babies against any infections.

European Spa Company Therme Misrepresented Itself in an Effort to Expand Into Canada A Times investigation shows Therme, a European firm, exaggerated its track record in securing a deal with Ontario, and government auditors found that the process had been unfair and opaque.

The NY Times has published an investigation into the Therme development at Ontario Place. It found that while the company told the province it had a proven track record of operating six spas around the world, at the time it had only ever operated one. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

Police officers in Ontario are being affected by the release of body cam footage of a tragic situation.

Please avoid armchair quarterbacking, or even forwarding this video. The Ottawa Citizen article fully describes its content; no one needs to see it.

Its public release is without value.

Hudson's Bay's demise marks the death of the traditional department store in Canada | CBC News Some retail experts say the traditional department store is on its way out in Canada because it didn't change with the times.

I think the idea that department stores are dead in Canada is a little off the mark when I can walk into a Canadian Tire anywhere in the country and walk out with lawn fertilizer, a deep fryer, a bag of chips, house paint, wool socks, a cordless drill, and a coffee maker.

YouTube video by CBC News Aluminium dust in mining - The Miner's Daughter - the fifth estate

9 years ago, CBC’s The Fifth Estate filmed my Dad in late stage Parkinson’s. We have more answers now about what aluminum dust inhalation did to the health of miners, including Parkinson’s, heart & lung disease. Dad didn’t live to learn those answers, but I think he knows. youtu.be/pv2rrwf_wx8?...

5) Humility. Admit what we don't know, backtrack when necessary, acknowledge errors. Yes, it will be used against you. But most people understand that managing a pandemic is complex and presents novel challenges. Better to admit limits and acknowledge mistakes than to stick with wrong answers.

Congratulations to all recipients of this honor today.

Housing should be safe and affordable - for everyone. That’s why I have created a plan to fight for renters in #LdnWest.

Renters deserve real protections and a system that works. Find out more about my plan at ontariondp.ca/platform #LdnOnt #onpoli #ONYourSide

It takes more than snow or rain or sleet to keep my team and I from knocking on doors and talking to voters. The support for my efforts in #LdnWest to push for better healthcare, increased housing supply, good schools, and a more affordable life is appreciated! #LdnOnt

Panel One: A scientist works at a blackboard. Diagrams and text on the blackboard contain the phrases: crushing darkness, seemingly no escape, time drags and, inhospitably cold. A second figure approaches and, seeing the blackboard, asks "Black Holes?" Panel Two: The scientist replies "January"
