It’s well past time to prioritize patient safety and actual science over outdated dogma. Kudos to the Canadian Standards Association for being a world leader.

Most of these folks are paid out of public funds (ie your tax dollars). If you disagree with them please let your MP, MPP or MLA know

The latest Canadian standards association guidance for universal use of respirators for preventing respiratory infection in healthcare is based on actual science (rather than dogma) and has generated a predictable response from predictable quarters

Bollards and ‘superblocks’: how Europe’s cities are turning on the car In Paris, Barcelona and Brussels, authorities are adopting varied approaches to the task of reducing congestion and pollution

“A startling statistic emerged in Paris last month: during the morning and evening rush hours, on representative main thoroughfares crisscrossing the French capital, there are now more bicycles than cars – almost half as many again, in fact.”

And it has kept growing from there.

Leadership. #Paris

A time bomb no one wants to talk about 🧵

If you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line. You can still cast your ballot. Your vote matters.

Letter to a longtime friend upon being floored to learn of their intent to vote Conservative.
I could not live with myself if I didn't write it.
It's long, but may be useful to others.
For context his main reasons were "woke ideology", housing, affordability, tough on crime.
I expanded.

Remember, folks - you can vote early at any Elections Canada office until April 22nd.

All you need is your voter card and photo ID (It can be done with ID + proof of address).

This National Public Health Week, I encourage fellow journalists to refer to the Covid-19 pandemic in the present tense. Sure, the government emergency in the US is over, but that means people can be forced to come into work while sick with Covid, which increases the risk of developing Long Covid.

Full stop

We are in a very dark time in a lot of ways, but yesterday’s news is extremely bad for authors and libraries. We will see fewer types of books made widely available.

Please, if you value diverse voices, seek out authors writing in their spheres and support them.

A femme person with short purple hair and purple plastic glasses leans their folded hands on top of a stack of books. She wears a purple plaid blouse and a beaded necklace. The books are Ember, Spark, and Blaze by Anna Holmes.

It’s #WeNeedDiverseBooksDay! Celebrate the freedom to read (and write!) by indulging in the numerous great books by BIPOC, queer, disabled (and more) authors.

They want to erase us, but as long as we keep writing and reading, they’ll never succeed.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

It's weird because you keep platforming notorious Covid minimizers like Leana Wen

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

I am quite sure this doesn't comply with elections laws: perhaps if someone has seen it themselves they can report it? I have a friend just outside of Avonmore. She was at a sports bar with her husband watching the game when a micro second ad flashed across the screen that said Sneaky Carney.

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society.

The Charlie Angus resistance tour will be in Toronto for a town hall on Monday night. I will join the protest at the American consulate at 4pm. Hope to see people there.

If anyone reading this is wondering why so many people on the pro-science end of the spectrum are so viscerally opposed to letting Dr Henry anywhere near the CMOH job, here's a thread for you. Due to her legacy of failure there are a lot of reasons, so it's fairly long:

Seems like we hit a nerve!

I wonder who's paying for the crisis comms. Telus? (see North Korean style vanity film)

BC taxpayers?

As soon as we find out who Carney's federal health Minister is, we need *everyone* to let them know what you think.

We’re in desperate need of calm, decisive leadership. Let’s follow the lead of this COVID-era icon True leaders don’t shift blame. They take accountability, ensuring their teams and the public understand the situation, the plan, and their roles. They acknowledge challenges while maintaining confide...

This is why Rubio was trying to sink into the couch while everyone bullied Zelenskyy.

I just saw a post on Reddit from someone upset that there were people using drugs the Scotiabank ATM at Somerset and Bronson.

The Somerset West Community Health Centre just closed its supervised consumption site on Friday, after being forced to by the Ford government.

PubMed is down. Temporary glitch or a permanent MAGA move to deny the WORLD the best medical science? PubMed is used by the top researchers to conduct vital research. It's not an overstatement to say it is the backbone of the modern world's health research infrastructure.
