Provincial and territorial leaders announce plan for a connected electricity grid Memorandum of understanding aimed at clearing the way to build national infrastructure and transmission corridors

The MOU aims to build national infrastructure and intertie projects that connect the provinces’ and territories’ energy grids, he said, and to develop “intentional policy” to expand electricity trade within Canada before selling power to the U.S. or abroad. ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/provinc...

Without Israel's influence on our government, almost none of this would be happening. A priority for all of us has to be getting that AIPAC money out of our government. We might disagree on the method and the strategy but we agree on the rot.

This image shows gauges with the Feb 28 - Mar 13, 2026 COVID Forecast scores for Canada, the provinces, and territories. From left to right: Canada: HIGH - 6.7 Alberta: HIGH - 6.5 British Columbia: MODERATE - 4.4 Manitoba: VERY HIGH - 10.0 New Brunswick: HIGH - 7.1 Newfoundland & Labrador: MODERATE - 4.7 North: HIGH - 6.7 Nova Scotia: HIGH - 6.0 Ontario: HIGH - 7.7 Prince Edward Island: MODERATE - 4.9 Quebec: HIGH - 6.6 Saskatchewan: HIGH - 8.1 A text box reads: 'The COVID Forecast is calculated from 3 equally weighted categories: 1) Current infections and spread; 2) Healthcare system impact; 3) Mortality. Within each category there is one sub-category for trends over the most recent week (Trends) and one sub-category for current parameter values relative to a specified baseline (Current values). Trends and current values are weighted equally when determining the final score for a category. All Forecast input data and sources are available here (https://datastudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/42b886cf-d661-488e-b7d8-5c5836b55ab6/page/p_2yqs028mwc). Past Forecast scores are available in the table below. Forecast scores are grouped into 4 ranges: MODERATE (1 to <5, white), HIGH (6 to <10, yellow), VERY HIGH (10 to <15, orange), SEVERE (>15 red).'

About 1 in 99 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

The same people who had nothing but criticism and slander of Jasmine Crockett for the last six months are now expecting that she be a team player and come out to campaign for the guy they said was better than she is. Always always always expecting Black women to be your mules. No trust, just labor.

Perhaps also part of that followup needs to emphasise that this horrible act of murder didn't appear to require automatic weapons. ANY guns can kill lots of people in the hands of hate- and anger-filled people.
Reduce the guns.
Work on tolerance and understanding.

My kingdom for commercials that match the volume of the broadcast

Just an FYI, recently went to the Cobequid Community Health Centre in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia and there is a notice of a Measles outbreak on the doors, do you think anyone wore a fucking mask, no they did not, but I did, how stupid are people?

You contribute to the problem by not masking.🤬

So they're going to recommend people wear n95 masks... right?

RIGHT??????????

Infographic from letsair.org listing airborne pathogens and the diseases they cause, including viruses like Covid, influenza, measles, RSV, smallpox, and bacteria like pertussis, diphtheria, meningitis, and tuberculosis. Red yellow and purple labels show whether vaccines exist, exist for some strains or don’t exist

Love this graphic from @nousaerons.bsky.social. This is why I mask in public. Breathing dirty air is no different from drinking dirty toilet water.

There's no shortages of airborne transmissible diseases. Even the ones we have vaccines for can cause breakthrough infxns (e.g. TB, Covid, Measles)

As the Atlantic Ocean warms, climate change is fueling Hurricane Melissa's ferocity Hurricane Melissa has rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm due to warming oceans linked to climate change.

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

The first (and until today only) time Alberta invoked the notwithstanding clause - in 1998
- the public outcry was so great that Premier Ralph Klein reversed his decision in less than 24 hours. FWIW.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

UCP government drops hammer on Alberta's teachers Teachers are being ordered back to work, with the notwithstanding clause used to override their right to collective bargaining.

Table showing estimated % over pre-pandemic hospital capacity (new daily and average Omicron to date) by province - 5 week rolling averages (average error -/+ 10% overall; 7% most recent 2 weeks) Table available at: https://covid19resources.ca/covid-hazard-index Page 17 (Hospitalization costs, burden)

Hospitalizations are expected to require 6.9% of Canada's staffed hospital beds for three weeks (CIHI: average duration of COVID hospitalizations).

Amazing how ignorant the doctor is who was interviewed in this report.
COVID is predominantly AIRBORNE SPREAD, so HAND WASHING WILL NOT HELP.
Ways to prevent repeated COVID infection:
1. Get vaccinated with updated vaccine.
2. Wear a well-fitting N95
3. Run #CRboxes or HEPAS
4. Open windows/doors

Study: Long COVID is a Significant Financial, Medical Burden A Rush University Medical Center study concludes that Long COVID significantly impacts financial and employment outcomes.

"The COVID-19 vaccine kept us healthier—both physically and financially"

Same goes for wearing an #N95 mask & breathing cleaner shared air indoors. Think #SwissCheeseModel layers -

Pre-pandemic, I didn’t think humans were this stupid…

To think that a senile US president could simply say it’s ok to take masks off, and then the airborne biohazard just goes away 💨

That’s really, really dumb.

I can say this, because…

I didn’t fall for it. Still masking.

Still Novid AFAIK.

What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution Close to two-thirds of the city’s residents commute by bike to school or work every day.

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”

Great 🧵 on insights into recent #MECFS research. While some people are more prone to developing ME/CFS & Long Covid, Putrino cautions that ANYONE CAN DEVELOP EITHER WITH ENOUGH INFECTIONS, just as a hockey player will eventually develop CTE with enough hits to the head. An N95 😷 prevents infections!

UK British Occupational Hygiene Society clarifies that surgical masks are not PPE, and following IPAC guidelines does NOT fulfill an employer’s legal duty to provide respiratory protection.

“The report reinforces that employers have a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act and COSHH to
