Comment: LNG start-up flaring is a public-health blind spot — and B.C. is ignoring it LNG terminals burn nearly three times more gas during their first two years of operation than afterward.

Yes, we fucking can.

We can afford Canada Post, we can afford universal healthcare and prescriptions, we can afford free tuition.

You're told we can't "afford it" because industry wants all the money you pay in tax going to them instead, and our politicians keep handing it over.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Theresa Tam, Bonnie Henry among Order of Canada recipients Eighty-three individuals were appointed to the Order, consisting of companions, officers and members

Dr. Henry has barely acknowledged long COVID & continues to endorse policies based on droplet dogma. She has consistently minimized the risks of long COVID in kids - even though it's now the #1 chronic health condition affecting them

Oligarchs are again giving out a gold star to the one willing to sacrifice others for their gains.

This seems important. Especially in a time when cost benefit analyses are being made wrt vaccinating to public. When the benefit is indisputably worth the cost, where else are tax dollars being allocated?

BC Government MUST Reinstate Funding For A Disabled Child's Medication. And perhaps it is time to discuss a declaration on the rights of the dying.

NEW post by me. The BC Govt has cut funding to an essential treatment for a disabled child with a very rare disease. Her name is Charleigh Pollock and time is running out. There is link to petition in post. Please sign, share.

So the answer is yes.

Meaning NACI may be making decisions on COVID vaccines using inaccurate data.

Trump’s cronies aren’t what broke public health The structural blind spots that undermine medical progress and how to fix them.

A brilliant deep dive into the ossified and dogmatic structures behind the widening gap between public health and scientific evidence.

Graphic in JAMA pediatrics from May 2025 with a table showing the most common long Covid symptoms in children by age groups (0-2yrs, 3-5yrs, 6-11yrs, 12-17yrs)

A recent @jama.com article states Long COVID is the "most common chronic health problem in children," affecting the 10-20% with past infection

They've asked us to accept this as normal

Yesterday, at 87, my dad & former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, stood for an hour by the road in his old riding.

As a Jewish elder, he stood against genocide embodying the values he has always championed. I am so proud to see him on the right side of history – as always. ❤️

What makes a good public health leader? Canada is searching for a new Chief Public Health Officer. Leadership matters, especially in a crisis.

What makes a good health leader? As soothing as "Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe" may sound, without action, it’s just another empty slogan. Canadians need someone who takes timely, decisive actions to truly protect us. Now, and when the next pandemic strikes.

This alone is enough to put @altcdc.altgov.info well above most public health institutions everywhere in the Western world.

If you can afford it, get some N95s and learn how to use them. Measles is here, COVID is here, and bird flu is coming.

If it can't get inside you, it can't make you sick.

PLEASE EMAIL THE LIBERAL PARTY and tell them not to let Andrew Weaver run (likely in Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke aka ESS). He endorsed the BC Cons in the BC election.

Just one line is enough - and put same in the subject line

*Thank you*

I went digging for new actuarial data on COVID-19, and I found this recent post from March 20, 2025. I think this applies specifically to Australia, but patterns may be similar elsewhere. www.actuaries.digital/2025/03/20/c...

We are taking the fight for our country to the streets.
The American consulate in Toronto weren't happy.
They called the cops.
They don't think we have a right to march on our own city sidewalks.

I had moments of sadness this week. I spoke at a press freedom conference about the corporate capture of the Observer. This is one of my last pieces. I'll miss my brilliant colleagues. But I'm rebuilding from the ground up, truly independent media. Please join me 🙏

There were also experiments conducted in Canada that arguably unethical and didn’t meet the Nuremberg code for voluntary consent, and avoiding unnecessary suffering:

“Arguably we should be back to something close to normal,” Stirling said. “But if you look at it by age group what you see is that it's really quite substantially elevated for younger ages. That’s what jumped out at me.”
