"In Canada, many people are not aware that their right to health is not protected in domestic human rights law. The “right to health” elements stipulated by international law are critical in advancing human rights in B.C."

Narcissists and sociopaths dominate in the current administration. A phalanx of therapists couldn't get them to see the hypocrisy.

It's very saddening to read this news. Condolences to Bob's family, friends and colleagues. A great loss to the entire ME community. 💙

Dr. Isaac Bogoch said that we can expect a rise in COVID cases over spring.

Can't say it any better than this.

So it isn't just me. No acknowledgement that people travel to regions where the situation may be worse. Not a word about COVID, which is year-round and is transmitted by breathing, often asymptomatically. Her advice is to wash our hands and cover coughs and sneezes. 🤷

Is anyone surprised? It's Florida.

Carly Simon would have been more appropriate. "You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you..." 🎶

I'm throwing up in the key of "Eh?"

The backfire effect. Humans are such stubborn cusses that if we're proven wrong, we double down instead of changing our minds. The more stinging the rebuke to our pre-existing beliefs, the weirder we get about it. And COVID represented a one-punch KO for anti-vaxxers.

How long will it be before Trump wakes up to the fact that Putin is actually his frenemy.

Having similarly dealt with far-right characters I’ve reported on engage in stalking / harassing behaviour to the point where lawyers needed to be engaged, I can say Canada’s laws are completely insufficient to deal with these problems and I have zero trust in the legal system to protect journalists

#ICE murdered another #US citizen in his car. The news and video evidence was suppressed by #DHS for a year.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

"Separatists are collecting signatures in multiple locations across the Southern US."

A commenter asks, how is this even legal?

One more caught in the revolving door that is the Trump administration, which resembles more The Apprentice crossed with The Sopranos and less a real government.

Yeats really meets the moment in that poem. One for the ages.

Absolutely. RELEASE THE TRUMPSTEIN FILES.

I thought the delusion of American invincibility had died with Pearl Harbor. Or at the very latest, with 9/11.

She is the embodiment of pointless snark and nothing she says is worth hearing.

So then I'm guessing no help needed from Ukraine after all? Cool cool cool

This is why I get a lot of my news from Al Jazeera. While US mainstream media sat on the story of the Iranian girls' school getting bombed, media abroad were all over it.

DUI. Dictated under the influence.
