36 years ago, these women were murdered at l’école Polytechnique in Montreal, because a crazed madman could not accept that these women were studying to become engineers.

So continue letting it drive you nuts until you tolerate it??
I think the term for that is "Stockholm syndrome".
Maybe that should @microsoft.com Teams' new motto?

In your upcoming family reunions (Thanksgiving, Christmas, whatever), here’s an idea for what to get RFK Jr when he comes over

To minimize competition at the next election ?

It’s not looking to promising for next year’s peace prize either

Mike "Bubba" Johnson?

A great initiative!
For every tuque purchased, these guys will donate a tuque to help a homeless person.
So 🇨🇦 (although it’s tuque, not toque)

That’s awkward. She’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 ByHeart’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!

There’s a joke in here somewhere.
But, I have too much testosterone, and not enough estrogen, to think of it.

I'm torn between him or Lindsey Graham really being "Bubba"

Flu vaccine providing important protection despite new subclade UKHSA’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 💉 is performing strongly in 🇬🇧 despite the 📈 of a A(H3N2) subclade K. Effectiveness against hospitalization:
70–75% in children
30–40% in adults
Good news!
💉 are still working where it counts: 📉 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

We will remember
Nous nous souviendrons

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
