36 years ago, these women were murdered at lโ€™รฉcole Polytechnique in Montreal, because a crazed madman could not accept that these women were studying to become engineers.

Has anyone ever been able to click on a Microsoft Teams link once and join the meeting?
Without the browser vs. App question?
Without trying to open the camera, only to have to go to settings, but then have to quit & relaunch?
Same with audio?
Without having to update the app?
Just click and join?

Thatโ€™s awkward. Sheโ€™s the face of the Liberal party. Her feistiness in the Assembly is what you want as an opposition leader.
Pablo is not even elected, and seems to have misstepped again. This distraction takes away from the pressure on the CAQ.

Infant Botulism Outbreak Linked to Infant Formula, November 2025 Details on an outbreak of infant botulism linked to infant formula, November 2025.

Infant botulism as of 11/14: 23 cases, 8 newly identified. All consumed ByHeart baby formula, now recalled.

Sadly ByHeartโ€™s initial recall was limited to just 2 Lot numbers, this may have contributed to additional illnesses.

TLDR: Stop using any ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula immediately!

Flu vaccine providing important protection despite new subclade UKHSAโ€™s early season data shows vaccination remains best defence alongside good respiratory hygiene as flu activity rises.

UKHSA data: Early findings show the 2025/26 flu ๐Ÿ’‰ is performing strongly in ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง despite the ๐Ÿ“ˆ of a A(H3N2) subclade K. Effectiveness against hospitalization:
70โ€“75% in children
30โ€“40% in adults

๐Ÿ’‰ are still working where it counts: ๐Ÿ“‰ severe illness and hospitalisation.

The draconian law proposed is outrageous.
Inservitude, with drastic reduction in remuneration, threats of daily hefty fines, and forbidden to quit/leave for work elsewhere.
A failed health care *system* that the gov't runs, but that the HCW are being blamed for.
And the patients and public suffering

I would suggest that Microsoft re-name their app, from "Teams", to "Surprise: Need to install new updated app at the time of the meeting". Not as catchy, but more honest
