In Ontario last month, the NDP got twice the seats as the Liberals with only half the votes and Doug Ford got all the power with only 43% of the vote. First Past the Post is a problem! #Tell2 #RPC @fairvote.ca

People writing futuristic Dystopian type novels at the moment must be having a hard team keeping up with, let alone staying ahead of current developments. Reality is now more Dystopian than half of what I've read in recent times.

Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children.
Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldnβt do anything.
βAre you feeling all right?β I asked her.
βI feel all sleepy,β she said.
In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.
The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her.
On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.
The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

I'll never top my famous tweet about that chatty police helicopter in Winnipeg (2017), but here I am. Expect more re-posting than original thoughts, mostly about music, art, and anticipatory grief as it relates to our planet and species.
