I offer my prayers and best wishes to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on his election, an historic day for Catholics and all who look to the Vatican for guidance. At a time of global challenges, may his pontificate carry forward a mission of solidarity, compassion, and dignity for all.

Mahli on measles in this CBC. Upshot? No need to panic, the shots work and are safe.
Born 1970-1996? You likely need a second shot.
Unvaccinated kids are at highest risk. If you've been reluctant to get your kids vaccinated, now is the time to get it done.

Seems Team Poilievre's desperate back-channelling to get Trump to pretend they're not on the same team continues.
Good thing Canadians know they can't trust a thing he says.

This is not a time to mince words, and it's not a time for inaction.
Health care access should not be controversial, nor should it be a political pawn. #foreignaidfreeze

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.

cover of my new book everything is tuberculosis: the history and persistence of our deadliest infection
As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

A child holding a back pack of risk factors: FINANCIAL INSECURITY POVERTY HUNGER HOMELESSNESS IMMIGRATION STATUS
Tuberculosis rates in Saskatchewan are high.
And when it comes to Pediatric TB in Sask, we have similar rates to Lesotho (in Africa) according to Dr. Mahli Brindamour.
Children getting TB in this country, in this province, in 2025… it’s a failure of our health system.
There is much work to do.

Looks like Canada's #tuberculosis stats for 2023 were quietly released.
2217 cases.
www.canada.ca/content/dam/...
First time breaking 2000 cases since 1994.
Highest number of cases since 1984.
The tariffs being paused is good news for Canada and Canadian workers.
It means standing up to Donald Trump’s threats is working.
But his threats won’t stop.
We need to make our economy less reliant on unreliable allies.
We need to buy Canadian and build Canadian to create good jobs here.
Putin claims Ukraine is not viable on its own and is using military violence to try and subsume it.
Trump claims Canada is not viable on its own and is using economic violence to try and subsume it.
The play is different, the playbook is the same.
The best kind of patriotism is the kind that says “this is my place so I will care for it and make it the best I can” rather than “this is the best place because I’m from here.” That’s the love Canadians should have for Canada.

The authors of the new Alberta report on COVID: A very unsurprising list of controversial & contrarian COVID deniers & vaccines skeptics who have pushed ideas not supported by the science.
Incredible. Dark Age 2.0.
A program in Brazil that gives a monthly cash sum to families living in poverty has an unexpected — and welcome result. A new study shows that it is dramatically reducing tuberculosis rates.

TB likes crowding, TB likes food insecurity, TB likes poverty.

TB thrives on injustice and inequality.
Canada should become the 51st state?

This is encouraging, but only matters if people get out and vote!
Friends in Regina NorthEast, polls are open now until 8 PM.
Let’s elect @Yens_Pedersen and send a message that SK deserves real leadership.

We need action on our economic struggles, not just spin and finger-pointing.
“Of course, to deal with Saskatchewan’s job-creation problems, Moe has to admit we have a job-creation problem. He is struggling to do that.”

Teachers do some of the most important work possible. And in Saskatchewan they do that work without adequate resources.
They deserve our respect and support.
If we have any thought to a brighter future for our province we need to invest in education.

“half of Saskatchewan employees live paycheque to paycheque, the highest proportion nationally.”
Our economy is struggling and people are suffering as a result.
When will the SK Party admit there’s a problem and take action?
