The long and costly shadow of COVID-19 continues to haunt us. The pandemic will have an impact on our economic and personal health for years to come, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/0fc7a92... via @theglobeandmail.com
Infectious disease minimizers own this. Public health officials who consistently downplayed COVID own this. Media who plarformed minimizers own this.
That's it? $6.1B in eight years? We gave Ukraine $25B in four and didn't even get daily mail out of it.
Ford: "I am a Premier that listens to the people". We all need to speak up for those whose voices are weakest - the elderly in long term care, children seeking an education, people in crisis in the ER. Because Ford obviously can't hear them. Speak up, Ontarians!

“The practice involves companies using personal data to determine how much customers are willing to pay, and charge different prices for the same products.”
It's true Spain doesn't have border with US. But it's also true, as we've seen, that sucking up to Trump guarantees you nothing. Might as well act on principle--as Spain does in standing up to Trump.
“Their main goal is not to scare us away. They're shooting to kill”
Palestinian villager, Akram Abu Ali, who lives in the occupied West Bank witnessed Israeli settlers shoot and kill a boy who was trying to save his friend from being beaten.

We hide them there because we don’t know where else to put them. Like a plague village, we have no plans to treat them…”
FYI The “sabotaging” medical scandal of #ME/CFS, please read & share Prof. @cgatist.bsky.social’s great article: Ignored, blamed, and sometimes left to die – a leading expert in ME explains the origins of a modern medical scandal
Ireland has joined Spain and Slovenia in formally calling for the EU to take action against Israel over a new law that would impose a mandatory death sentence on Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly attacks on Israelis
Interesting to see again the CDC staffers comments that attempt to justify the misappropriation of funds, saying that the shifting of funds away from CFS may have been the best thing for public health as a whole. Such contempt for our community. Painful times.

#POTS, #MECFS, #LongCovid while they have different triggers, result in the same neuroimmune disorder and should be taught/researched alongside MS, etc. Paper dropped in February—this seems like good news for the #NEISVoid and #pwME crews. 🥳

Milkmen strikes did not bring us maternity leave and employment equality. In Canada postal strikes were the leading causes for these positive social developments.
The idea is government providing services to constituents - dairy farming is a for profit business - the government should not be.
Great piece. Something’s got to change.
It's extraordinary to me that the most important thinker to influence the Liberal Party of Canada in the 21st century is Stephen Harper.
You all need to stop whining about this, how else is our glorious premier going to get the alcohol he promised us to all the provincial parks and grocery stores and farmers markets and gas stations and regular parks and

While a reduction of 10c is nice, this better just be a first step in getting us back to not just pre-war, but pre-ludicrous gas prices.
Or better yet, find long term solutions for Canadians.
