Autism and Tylenol: what the science says | CBC Radio The Trump administration has said that Tylenol may cause autism, and that leucovorin may treat it — but the established science does not support those claims, and health professionals around the world...

There's no evidence Tylenol exposure causes #Autism, & rising diagnosis rates reflect better screening & awareness, not an emerging epidemic, says @AllianceAutism Scientific Director & #MCHPResearch Adjunct Scientist Deepa Singal in a @cbcradio interview.

Agreed 100%. Under first past the post, I’m not completely opposed to strategic voting, either, but whoever runs that account sure showed their true colours as a thin-skinned, arrogant, partisan hack.

Apparently the arrogant, partisan hack who runs the smartvoting.ca Bluesky page would rather block me than answer legit questions about the limitations of their methodology or why they’re recommending voting against NDP incumbent Leah Gazan in a riding their own, flawed, model shows as tied.

Did @smartvote.ca block you too? They sure didn’t want to address any of the valid points I made!

“The data just isn’t there for them to win”…? Say what? YOUR OWN WEBSITE, right now, shows the riding as tied/toss up, yet you’re advocating voting against an NDP incumbent, in a riding the conservatives haven’t won since 1958! I’ve read your methodology, local dynamics underscore its limitations.

And, fwiw, I do understand data and stats. You’re putting far too much weight on a rare liberal win here two elections ago, a win that was due almost entirely to factors related to two candidates, neither of whom is running this year. And why even weigh in on a riding the conservatives can’t win?

Love the condescending response, replete with a partisan dig (and grammatical error), it says a lot more about who you are than it does about those of us critiquing your “strategic vote” recommendation.

SmartVoting

Why the hell is smartvoting.ca recommending a vote for the Liberal candidate over a sitting, and highly visible NDP MP in Winnipeg Centre, a riding that hasn’t voted conservative since 1958 and their you own (flawed) model shows as essentially tied with zero chance of a conservative win???

Poilievre unveils Quebec platform, promises to respect province’s autonomy Conservatives are hoping to build on the nine seats they currently hold in the province.

“A Conservative government would put an end to the imposition of woke ideology…in the allocation of federal funds for university research.”

Where have I heard this rhetoric before? In which country has this rhetoric seized state power? How is that working out?
