Good analogy, normalizing unambiguously bad stuff.

Yes, action speaks louder than words, in the sense that our initiatives are not "real" enough to make a change, thus people do not see value. I thought it was an interesting idea.

I was recently listening to this author's talk on the cyclical nature of similar issues historically: Why progressives may not be as 'woke' as they think | Ideas | On Demand | CBC Listen share.google/EcxbExRuStZE...

Gives some insight into the pushback imo.

Not a lot of calling a thing what it is from NYT headline here.

Very impressed by the NB Heart and Stroke conference today. Great mix of topics.

I think this is an American talking point, this guy is like 10 years behind on repeating populist American rhetoric.

Post-truth politics

You cannot have a functioning classroom under these conditions. As I've said before, classroom surveillance has been a much bigger and more damaging change to campus than wokeness.

Comprehensiveness vs Efficiency: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Association Between Allostatic Load and the Frailty Index Using the CLSA The goal of this study was to investigate the associations between the frailty index (FI) and allostatic load (AL) to determine if allostatic load con…

A former student now medical student, Luke Duignan, published his Research In Medicine project (rare) on the potential substitution between frailty index and allostatic load. AL is a nice variable for considering the burden of SDoH in popns.

Fredericton's food rescue centre to be important piece of food insecurity puzzle | CBC News A perishable food rescue centre is under construction in Fredericton that could be a blueprint for others around the country to follow.

Housing and Support Intervention and Mortality Among Homeless Adults With Mental Illnesses This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial assesses the association of a housing and support intervention with mortality among homeless adults with mental illnesses.

New article spearheaded by James LaChaud at Ohio State on the At Home/Chez Soi data. Estimated lower mortality in the HF group but not stat sig. My read on it is that in Canada we do a good job keeping people alive in the long run, but details here:

Maximum bureaucracy:

"Typically, it's the last four digits of your employee number. If you don’t remember it, please provide those last four digits, and I’ll reset it for you."

oh, we have some straightforward gutter racism. “the blacks and the browns are the reason white people can’t get ahead” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I have noticed that individuals who see their main contribution as agitation have trouble when it's time to push through a policy that might require respect for pre-existing process or compromise. "Activist" doing some heavy lifting here.

A Leading Canadian University Makes A Pitch For Top U.S. PhD Students Western University, one of Canada’s leading public research universities, is launching an initiative aimed at luring away PhD students from premier U.S. institutions.

The academic pages of Reddit are full of stories of PhD students whose offers have been rescinded due to pulled NIH funding.

Western is stepping up and offering expedited admissions and excellent funding to these deserving students:

The fact that a study can have REB clearance and still be dragged makes me bitter about having to get REB clearance, especially if the allegation about ignoring one patient's request to not be included is true.

NS, I can run you a survey for $200,000 and get 2000 people, whaddaya say?

I sure hope they don't have the Internet at these schools, as they have all kinds of inappropriate content on there!

By embracing gate keeping it allows NDPers to act holier than thou and never have to grapple with the compromise required to govern. It seems like that is what party members and leadership want, so enough seats to hold influence in a minority is best case scenario. Is that incorrect?

This will sound weird but love yourself enough to write your own term papers.
