Puerto Rico stops for 13 minutes to applaud history and bask in Bad Bunny's glow This was Puerto Rico's moment, a spotlight on a collective son who quit bagging groceries a decade ago and became the world's most streamed artist on Spotify last year.

Now if only elected members in the Senate and the House (notably the Republicans who have mostly been looking the other way) and all the State Governors would stand up and say: Ok, that's enough, this has gone too far.
.....and restricted his powers, and if need be, Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Bon ben Ottawa… là on jase.
C’est pas juste un p’tit tapis blanc, c’est de la grosse neige.

Tune in to Your Health with Dr. Trevor today:
• 580 CFRA Ottawa Now around 3:35 p.m.
• CTV News at Six tonight

This week, Dr. Trevor is talking about routine immunizations and why staying up to date is so important in preventing serious diseases.

Such sad news. My heart goes to the families of these children.

The holiday season is a special time to connect and celebrate with family and friends. But it’s also respiratory illness season – a time of year when respiratory viruses like COVID-19, influenza (flu), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are circulating alongside the common cold and other viruses.

The COVID-19 and flu vaccines are recommended for people aged six months and older. They can safely be received at the same time.  These vaccines are particularly effective in preventing severe illness, complications, and hospitalizations. 

Pharmacies continue to be the primary access point for both vaccines for people two years of age and older with many pharmacies offering walk-in services and appointments. OPH Clinics are for eligible groups facing barriers like newcomers without OHIP and children under five years of age and their household members. Vaccines are available by appointment at OPH Community Clinics and on a drop-in basis, based on capacity, at OPH Neighbourhood Health and Wellness Hubs. Visit our website to book!

Wash your hands often or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer Avoid touching your face and cover your cough or sneeze Disinfect frequently touched surfaces

Ottawa Public Health reminds residents to get vaccinated ahead of the holidays.

Sad. CDC losing credibility and trust. It will take a generation to build it back up.

Certain vaccines are required for children to attend school in Ontario.

These vaccines are publicly funded (at no cost) and are offered through your child’s health care provider.

#Spotify definitely agrees!
#GetVaccinated

After extensive analysis of the events in Hawkins, (1983–1986), OPH has determined that most of their problems could have been solved with better public health literacy, support for parents, proactive emergency preparedness, and, yes, staying home if you’re coughing up unidentified slimy objects.

Sad, so sad. This will cause lots of damage, which will take tremendous effort to fix.

WTF???

The CDC has succumbed to political pressure and changed its information on “Vaccines and Autism,” stating that the claim “vaccines do not cause autism” is not evidence-based. 🤨

www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...

First line says: "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim

So well-deserved!

What do a tick and the Eiffel Tower have in common?

They are both Paris sites...

Anyways, about ticks: don’t forget to do a tick check on everyone (including pets) after being outside. If you find a tick, remove it ASAP.
