Their changes to FOI laws proves they think they are untouchable.

Ford whines that he gets more scrutiny than others.

Fortunately for Ford but unfortunately for ON, such scrutiny will dramatically decrease when his FOI changes become law tomorrow.

Such a sad state of affairs and we have 3 more years of this.

Not for the first time noting some of the most enthusiastic proponents of online community meetings I've encountered are city staff who were astonished at how much more diverse participation became when it didn't mean needing to find a babysitter. Naturally, councillors want to kill it with fire.

894. See Bob Janssen, MSc, ROH, Senior Policy Analyst, “A Scientific Review – The Influenza Pandemic: Airborne vs. Non-Airborne Transmission and Considerations for Respiratory Protection” Vancouver: Policy & Research Division, WorkSafeBC, December 2005: One should be aware of the effects of droplet evaporation and the resultant diminution in size of ejected droplets. A 30 Ìm droplet dries to a 5 Ìm droplet within seconds under normal indoor air conditions. This means that a large droplet, as it evaporates, will not settle to the ground but become a free-floating entity. This has implications for the 3 foot rule, the basis for infection control precautionary measures, since it is commonly believed that large droplets ejected upon sneezing or coughing will follow Stoke’s Law and fall to ground within a 3 foot distance from the person’s face. It is evident that it is commonly believed that the 3 foot rule is a division between an unsafe and safe distance. There is no indication that the 3 foot rule takes into consideration the evaporation factor and the drift factor of airborne droplets, as discussed above. No scientific evidence is offered by WHO, DHHS-CDC, PCAH, or other medical authorities in explaining the rule. If large droplets quickly evaporate to free-floating small droplets, then the 3 foot rule applies only to droplets greater than about 50 – 100 Ìm in diameter for which there is insufficient time chance for evaporation to take effect before they fall to the ground from a height of 5–6 feet. Free floating small droplets readily go beyond the 3 foot radius. Therefore, if the majority of ejected droplets following a sneeze are evaporated to a size that is free-floating after only seconds in air, the 3 foot rule becomes illogical and not particularly helpful from a disease transmission perspective.

This chapter of the report of the SARS Commission is also worth reading.

We probably could have stopped COVID in 2020 if IPC leaders had just followed the directions provided after the last time they mismanaged a major SARS-CoV outbreak.

Matt Gurney: Calling out Carney’s ‘fancy’ education is loser talk. No wonder the Conservatives doubled down on it There are effective ways to attack the prime minister. This is not one of them.

Opinion: Calling Mark Carney "badly educated" seems like a weird coping mechanism from Pierre Poilievre and Andrew Scheer, writes @mattgurney.bsky.social.

How the American oligarchy went hyperscale The AI boom is fueling a literal and metaphorical power grab by tech billionaires—and forcing a reckoning.

“There’s something even worse than getting another Walmart, and it’s being promised a Walmart and getting only a Spirit Halloween.”

We hit the road to see what the AI revolution is doing to the communities it’s promising to save.

#Microsoft has turned on 'compose with copilot' in Outlook email and apparently there is no way to turn it off. Even if you toggle this off, it turns back on every time you open Outlook.

Please stop pushing AI on people. We'll use it if we want to. We should be able to opt out.

Isn’t that what we should be telling people? These are the same people who complain when women have kids they can’t afford and need govt support.

People can’t afford to have kids. Why don’t they get that?

Illiberalism Is Not Inevitable If Viktor Orbán can lose, then his Russian and American admirers can lose too.

“Viktor Orbán's defeat came thanks to a broad, diverse, and patriotic grassroots movement—and shatters the assumption of inevitability that has pervaded illiberal movements across the globe,” Anne Applebaum argues.
