"For me the big red flag is: does it end in the supplement shop?"
IMO this is the question we should always be asking when it comes to privatized health care - especially for historically stigmatized issues like menopause.

“We’re seeing a big boom in private menopause clinics… sometimes that is appropriate. But at the same time, it’s a huge opportunity for wellness grift.” — @docmcohen.medsky.social to @namshine.bsky.social on an upcoming (MIS)Treated podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/m...

The trade upheaval with the US is putting Canadian auto manufacturing on the brink of irrelevance.
Politicians need to turn away from using protectionist policy to turn it into a second dairy cartel - producing expensive, mediocre products that are worthless for export.

Political science PhD candidate Noah Vanderhoeven joined TVO’s Big If True to unpack disinformation campaigns at the Winter Olympics and other major international sporting events. A must-watch for anyone curious about media, politics and truth 👀👇

Has Doug ever once acknowledged Raymond Moriyama, the world renowned 🇨🇦 architect of the original Science Centre? TVO made an excellent doc on him. Highly recommend watching, though it makes all this even more heartbreaking. He sadly passed away in 2023 (at 94!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoIh...

"When we don't use Canadian tech providers they don't have a chance to get better."
Which #edtech platforms do you make students and staff login to each day #cdned? #onted?
Paikin is quick out of the gate: "BlackBerry, Nortel, Corel... #Canada was quick out of the gates with digital, what happened?"
Corrosive big tech surveillance capitalism is the short answer.

2) Then, as a bookend, a story I wrote about its last day of operation in 2024, which I rushed over to see when the news broke.
You know what else broke that day?
My heart.

1) Since it's in the news again, 2 stories I wrote for TVO @therundowntvo.bsky.social about the Ontario Science Centre.
First, a look at its opening in 1969. Didja know a name used during its development was the "Centennial Centre of Science and Technology"?

NEW! For TVO @therundowntvo.bsky.social I look at a convention convened by American abolitionist John Brown in Chatham in 1858 that served as a prelude to his raid on Harpers Ferry the following year - one of the events on the road to the Civil War #BHM #cdnhistory

This is something I didn’t know. Oral HRT/MHT has a higher risk of blood clots & strokes but government drug plans don’t cover patches or gels. In a special live audience (MIS)Treated, we talk about the multibillion market of menopause and how those going through it have trouble accessing care.

How Ontario contributed to the first atomic bombs: @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social traces the history of uranium mining in Ontario, a story that stretches back to the Manhattan Project and involves booms, busts, and a whole lot of drama.

To this solid @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social piece, I'd add Canada risks over-estimating its leverage
Demanding allies build us a $15bn auto plant to sell cars (where? To the US? With this trade uncertainty?), or we won't spend $20bn on their wares, risks them walking away

Has the world given up on nuclear disarmament? With treaties expired and arsenals growing, are we heading toward a new arms race? @jeyantvo.bsky.social asks George Perkovich (@carnegieendowment.org), @mattkorda.bsky.social (@scientistsorg.bsky.social) & Janice Stein (Munk School of Global Affairs)

• Trump tariffs & Ford’s refund demand
• Modest growth, weak jobs & housing concerns
• Why the government wants workers back downtown
• Will Burlington’s housing bet work?
• Is Rob Cerjanec the Liberals’ next leader?
Over the course of three days in May 1858, radical American abolitionist John Brown convened a convention in Chatham to formalize his vision for liberating slaves via a guerrilla war and provisional government. — by @jbcurio.bsky.social

The Ontario Science Centre, which opened its doors in 1969, was one of the first interactive, hands-on science museums in the world.
In his own words, Raymond Moriyama shares how he created some of Canada’s most iconic buildings: youtu.be/AoIhR5Q8xGU?...

"The plain meaning of Joly’s words suggests that Ottawa would be willing to walk away from an otherwise meritorious Korean bid to build us submarines unless Hyundai or Kia agrees to open a plant somewhere in southern Ontario. That’s nuts." — @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social
