Dr. Robert Strang is urging Nova Scotians to make sure they have two doses of the measles vaccine. The vaccine is recommended for babies at 12 months and 18 months old. Anyone born between 1970 and 1996 may have received only one vaccine, so it's recommended those people get a booster.

Refugees and income assistance - rebutting the chain email ("pensioners' myth") | Canadian Council for Refugees Responding to chain email with false information Have you heard rumours that refugees in Canada receive greater assistance from the government than pensioners?

Iโ€™m seeing some incorrect info being circulated again, about refugees versus pensioners. So I thought this was worth sharing. This is from the Canadian Council for Refugees. This article is from 2013, so some of the numbers have likely changed since then. #cdnpoli ccrweb.ca/en/pensioner...

Have seen several vandalised green & red candidate signs in my riding, but not blue. If that nastiness is what passes for acceptable behaviour by PP's party & its supporters to get elected, IMO it also demonstrates their unsuitability to hold office.

#Elbowsuplist: delete Amazon & cancel streaming services (easily), avoid US-made goods & prioritize buying Canadian (improving), no travel to/through US for at least 4 years (committed), manage amount of attention & emotion paid to barrage of US news (struggling). How's everyone else doing?

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. Itโ€™s important, itโ€™s urgentโ€”and it needs to be shared far and wide.

The ultimate form of Canadian protesting the rising br-oligarchy in the US is to exercise the democratic franchise. The federal election is April 28. As Green leader Elizabeth May just said:"Vote like your country depends on it." #Fightfascism

I feel badly for the singers of the anthem at events, esp. when they are local. I wish people would just stay seated or turn their backs rather than boo, & dead silence afterwards would be a nice contrast to singing along with -- & cheering wildly after -- O Canada.
