Canadian with no symptoms and Stage 3 colorectal cancer an example of why advocates want lower screening age A growing number of people are getting colorectal cancer before the current routine screening age of 50, the Canadian Cancer Society says.

Start screening for colon cancer earlier - because younger adults are developing this disease www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic... @ctvnews-mirror.bsky.social

Also Jim - did you see that the NS premier Houston just put a $500 tax (due every two years with car license) on EVs! You can’t bloody win.

Canada is so broke we can’t build out the high voltage lines to feed EV growth… SMRs will produce more power but still cost money - and likely going to be foreign owned if we don’t get our 💩together. So the irony is to pay for all that energy infrastructure, we will need to sell more LNG and oil. 🙃

What do they eat? Insects? It must be the prey population is up and they can expand territory.

Former CBC News host Travis Dhanraj says he was 'pulled off the air' for fighting against bias | CBC News Former CBC News host Travis Dhanraj accused the public broadcaster of trying to silence him when he challenged bias at the network and fought for diversity of opinion.

Been watching the Travis Dhanraj hearing/testimony on CBC - David Cochrane sounds like a piece of work. Depending on how the human rights case goes on his “creative dismissal” there could be personnel changes on Power & Politics www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

For rural Canada, hybrid vehicles make more sense. The reliability of your secondary power (diesel, petrol) and when appropriate the efficiency, torque, and range extension of electric/litre. For cities with a reliable electric grid (NOT Halifax where I reside), EVs make more sense and transit /2

Having reliable charging EV infrastructure and access does means “oil shocks” don’t have the same impact on transport… that is unless your electricity is generated from LNG, coal etc. The downside for somewhere like Canada is the huge distances that charge infrastructure needs to cover. 1/2

I have been following these guys for years now - Edison Motors - they have been building diesel hybrid semi-trucks. Best of both worlds - reliability of diesel in winter (and the middle of no where Canada) and efficiency and torque of electric. www.edisonmotors.ca

That tracks - EVs no good in Scotland? Not enough chargers?

I know Christmas is passed but anyone looking for an “exquisite” gift for the DIY home gym? How about the “Oak Wunda Chair”?

What not driving EVs all over Scotland? Clearly Carney’s influence whilst steering the Bank of England, pushing the green agenda, and conning the UK air industry into using green jet fuel (from the company he helped others invest in at Brookfield) didn’t make it past Hadrian’s Wall.

Waaaat.

Only one - clearly nobody is keeping score.

“Copilot - make a press release …”

I call it “string ball” science or in the advent of single-cell analysis - “Rorschach science”. It can be interpreted anyway you like and likely is a data hallucination based on parameters in the rendering algorithm nobody using it understands.. but hey it looks pretty.

And getting a bottle of ketchup with a poorly rendered filet on the label and the ketchup is brown.

The effect of hemp product consumption on blood fatty acid profiles and cardiovascular disease risk factors: results of a randomized, double-blind, crossover clinical trial Hemp seeds are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) including gamma linolenic acid (GLA), stearidonic acid (SDA), alpha linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA). To date, limited evidence is...

Sometimes getting results published takes a very long time, this manuscript for trial looking at hemp seed and hemp oil consumption and blood fatty acids took so long (it was completed in 2016), but many "reasons" including the result being pretty predictable led to delays

Yeah it is bad... very, very bad. Likely there will be a province-wide university student strike March 15th, and people are protesting the legislature every day. CBC is not really covering it as well... there is a war in the Middle East, and the dog and Carney show in Australia to cover.

My thoughts too. More ideas on paper that seem good, for a press release anyway, but with no planning for how to execute or thought about impacts long term. My prediction is that Unis will recruit some people but 10x more will not come when they realize the ridiculous cost of living.

Meanwhile... Nova Scotia's Premier is burning down the province with $320 million in cuts, which is equal to the lost revenue from cutting HST and getting rid of bridge tolls. In other words, Houston engineered an austerity crisis and now arts, university and community programs are wiped out.

One of my faculty mentors paid for consumables and their tech from their salary for years before they finally packed it in and retired. It is shameful that with funding levels as they are, the government would go and blow $1.7 billion on an ill advised reverse brain-drain scheme like Impact +

How we get by in Canada - still thinking an Impact + chair is a great deal?

Going to bookmark this as I am predicting the exact same headlines within 6 months here in Nova Scotia #NSBudget2026 is shockingly bad and the province and its people are going to pay for it in all the worse ways.

Not sure where discussion of one CIHR competition a year is coming from…. But I have to also ask why do we have to suffer a continual litany of bad decisions by unelected individuals working for CDN government agencies? Just leave us alone to get on with curing diseases and cancer.
