SCOOP: An investigation by The Narwhal and Point Source shows LNG Canada burned 350 million cubic metres of gas in 2025, making it one of the worst polluters for flaring emissions globally and undermining Canada’s environmental claims. @writermjs.bsky.social #lng thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-b...
Canadian publishers strongly condemn the proposed book restrictions in @albertagov.bsky.social's Bill 28, which undermine the core principles of public libraries: open access to information, intellectual freedom, & trust in professional expertise. publishers.ca/statement-al... @lpgcanada.bsky.social
I'm not sure how much longer we can continue to ignore Covid for.
It's a driver of the societal decline we're living through. Most parents I know with small kids are sick multiple times a year, some every month. Repeat infections ⬆️ long covid risk & can cause immune dysfunction & organ damage
So we have absences exploding in lockstep w/ kids being reinfected repeatedly by a virus that dysregulates their immune systems, making them more likely to experience both acute and chronic illness.

We are not AFTER THE PANDEMIC. Why is everyone so resistant to understanding this? Why why why?
Oh, chronic absenteeism after the pandemic has risen to over 60% for high school students in Ontario?
That’s because IT’S NOT AFTER THE PANDEMIC
Kids are missing school because they are sick, and this is happening on a global scale.

Since I’m Canadian, I will say this politely… No, thank you.
Sam Altman has a new plan to make money from generative AI: he wants intelligence to be treated like water or electricity — and we’ll all have to pay him for it.
His chatbots are degrading people’s ability to retain information and think critically. Now he wants to sell smarts back to us.

Nothing Is Wrong, But The Things That Are Wrong Were Not Caused By That.
Every Member of Congress should condemn Trump’s genocidal threat to end Iranian civilization.
Trump isn't a king — Republicans must do their constitutional duty and join Democrats to end the unwell president’s illegal war.
Screenshot of a post from Donald Trump: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people.
Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.
As Trump threatens the people of Iran with more war crimes and continues to destroy America’s reputation, Congress isn’t powerless in this moment. Demand that your senators and representative do everything they can to stop the regime’s illegal war.
“post-pandemic era”?
The new highly mutated covid variant BA.3.2 and the impact on children.
We need to stop these AI-induced hallucinations about building data centres.

‘A lifetime of living with chronic illness makes patients and caregivers the experts regarding their specific condition. You’re a team member, not the captain. Have the courage to say ‘I don’t know.’
‘Without experiencing illness firsthand, it’s impossible to truly and definitively understand what it does to your body and mind. Heartfelt empathy goes a long way.’
‘Don’t assume patients are caregivers are too dumb to understand complex health issues. Don’t assume they’re incapable of handling honest truths about diagnoses.’
‘Pain is real. It’s experienced in different ways by different people and it changes you. It doesn’t automatically make patients drug seekers. 1 standard protocol doesn’t fit all.’
Happy National Doctors Day to the docs that did not inspire my artist book, An Open Letter to Doctors, and not to those that did. Here are 4 of 10 pages of things I want them to know.
Appreciation to your graphic designers for an outstanding job throughout this campaign, too!

“Several long-term studies conducted before, during, and after the pandemic have found significant declines in children’s executive functioning…” There is no AFTER THE PANDEMIC YET. We’re still in it!
It’s because children (and parents and teachers) are being infected and reinfected with COVID!!!
Stats Canada newly release map of country showing decline in adults with very good to perfect functions health from 68.6% (2015) to 65.4% (2019) to 56.4% (2024) across ALL provinces
New data from Stats Canada shows the % of adults reporting very good to perfect functional health declined across all provinces from 65.4% in 2019 to 56.4% in 2024 - driven by worsening emotional health & pain, with young people hit hardest

Long COVID can affect many systems in the body. Researchers have documented more than 200 symptoms, ranging from fatigue and brain fog to heart, lung, and neurological problems.
The symptoms shown here are only a small sample. Preventing infection helps reduce the risk of Long COVID.

Wastewater virus signals for Toronto, for the 52 week period ending Friday March 6 2026 showing a drastic spike in COVID-19. RSV, Flu A and Flu B are also shown. The second highest spike was Flu A which peaked mid-December and was present for about 8 weeks, while COVID-19 has been at elevated and mostly growing levels since last spring.

Yeah. It's COVID.

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.

If I've got this right, #yyc has got some water restrictions coming up on March 9. Planned restrictions, which means we have time to prepare! So pretty soon we're going to start seeing some messaging from @calgary.ca to help citizens get ready, right? @jeromyyyc.bsky.social @daorcey.bsky.social

Warning that this is a very sobering read.
"That scale in turn raises a troubling question: whether Covid is not only leaving millions chronically unwell but also accelerating the slow neurological processes that end in dementia"
