This is what Israel has done to Bint Jbeil, my hometown in southern Lebanon

Finally #LongCOVID enters the conversation, & #Lockdowns EXIT 👈 sorry about this typo (courtesy of autocorrect), which quite changed the meaning of this post.

But you get the gist, "lockdowns" (protections) were not injurious.

Whereas, Long COVID (still zero cure), is a mass disabling event -

Don't forget to add these expenses onto the cost of plane:

- maintenance
- fuel
- insurance
- pilot and staff
- rent a hanger for storage

All will be paid for by Ontarians!

So Doug is all for "the little guy", right???🤬

Global conflict is making the case for renewables that climate politics couldn’t Rooftop solar could emerge as a cornerstone of energy sovereignty for nations and households

"fossil fuels aren’t just bad for the planet’s health. They are geopolitically fragile.

By contrast, the sun doesn’t flow through contested waterways. The wind can’t be sanctioned. Renewables aren’t just clean – they’re sovereign."

Musk spent $44B to buy a social network. NIH's entire annual budget: $47B.

One man's vanity project costs the same as the country's biomedical research infrastructure.

If you needed any further proof that the coup was successful, look no further.

The Industry That Fights Governments for a Living Won't Fight This One On clearances, salaries, and the structural silence of the American infosec community.

Infosec pros fight ransomware, APTs, and foreign disinfo for a living. But when Trump weaponizes clearances, hollows out @CISAgov, and unleashes @DOGE as a systemic insider threat, our industry mostly chooses self‑preservation.

I unpack that trap: www.hackingbutlegal.com/p/the-indust... #infosec

The idea that the President of the United States could publish an image of himself as the Messiah and no news outlet covers it is the biggest indictment of the American free press.

Google, Microsoft, Meta All Tracking You Even When You Opt Out, According to an Independent Audit “This is the Strait of Hormuz in the data economy. If you want to make a change, this is where you cut it off. Anything short of that is theatrical political posture.”

“In my view this stuff isn’t complicated. You say, ‘don’t set the cookie.’ They set the cookie. The regulators see a fox going into the henhouse and the fox says, ‘I’m just here to count the eggs, not to eat any chickens.’ And they take them at their word."

I guess the US indictment didn't go anywhere, but there's pretty compelling evidence that Roaming Millennial breached Canadian sanctions. Disappointing to see our law enforcement unable or unwilling to address this, yet again.

Amen to this!!

Good time for Manitobans to pick up Marietje Schaake's
(Former member of the European parliament) book The Tech Coup. Our governments are woefully inadequate to handle anything with AI. 😢

I heard her interviewed on a podcast and it sounds like an excellent (and very timely) read. Thx for the share!

The Trump administration finds every aspect of Canada a trade irritant. Our existence is a trade irritant. I wish more news coverage reflected that reality.

The Plot is Lost: Leaderless at the Limits of Empire Trump has never known what he was doing. Now, he knows even less.

Trump created a crisis that could end the American Empire and destroy the global economy. Now he’s looking at a no-win situation and hoping someone or something will bail him out.

This is what happens when you hand power to a monster like Trump.

Israeli settlers are growing more violent in the West Bank Israeli settlers expand control in the West Bank through systematic violence against Palestinians, with government backing and military support.

Scores of Palestinians have been killed by settlers or soldiers in recent weeks in a broad effort that enjoys the tacit and sometimes active support of the Israeli government

Well worth the read.

Ford says privacy commissioner is ‘politically driven’ in opposing changes to FOI laws Records of premier, cabinet ministers, parliamentary assistants and their offices will no longer be subject to public disclosure, Ontario government has announced

Premier Ford: I have known Information and Privacy Commissioner Patricia Kosseim for over 15 years. I represent organizations often 'against' the regulator. We sometimes disagree, but I have NEVER had ANY reason to question her unbiased dedication to her role.

Opinion: Canada’s playing catch-up on digital lawful access The Carney government has shown a willingness to try and get it right

In full agreement with this by @leahwest-nsl.bsky.social on Bill C-22. It is good that the government listened to criticisms & re-wrote the bill so any enacted legislation has a chance to survive the courts. The grounds for a reasonable debate have been laid. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Simple math illustration on how vaccination reduces measles transmission

The MMR vaccine is 97% effective. Three kids are likely to get infected w/ limited spread of disease. Exposed non-vaccinated children will spread it faster w/ increased risk of complications.

🧪Via @alokpatelmd.bsky.social

The measles outbreaks in the US are so bad and out of control that pediatricians are reaching out to colleagues in developing countries for input on how to manage severe complications of the disease that they have never seen before.
Measles was eliminated in the US for 20 years then #RFKJr happened.

This is the budget the Liberals warned us the Conservatives would introduce

Midwife-led perinatal care is tied to lower childhood vaccination rates.

Understanding how perinatal care preference influences parental decision-making could help officials design more effective outreach strategies.
