The Canadian Library Challenges Database | Centre for Free Expression
The CFE-CFLA/FCAB Canadian Library Challenges Database provides access to challenges libraries have faced to items in their collection, and to displays, programs, room usage, and computer access.
The Centre for Free Expression has done far more legwork, contacting every Alberta school division, asking how many removed books, and sending access to info requests to every division that said they did remove materials. The results they have so far are in this national challenge database #AbEd

text says "Thereβs no way to know which COVID-19 infection will cause long-term illness. Each new COVID-19 infection increases your risk of organ damage, Long COVID, and disability, even if you have no other health conditions that you know of, and even if your previous COVID-19 infections were mild or had no symptoms. Protect your lifelong health by protecting yourself from COVID-19, no matter your age or health history. Wear masks. get vaccinated. keep indoor air clean.β Graphics on the side illustrate people getting sick repeatedly until eventually they end up with long-term illness.
Every time you get COVID-19, your risk increases for Long COVID, organ damage, disability, & more, & thereβs no way to know which infection will be the one to cause it! Protect your lifelong health by protecting yourself from COVID-19. Learn more about Long COVID: www.cdc.gov/long-covid/a...

To prebunk what we can expect to hear tomorrow:
π΄ Immigrants pay provincial taxes.
π΄ Many non-immigrants don't.
Cutting off immigrants' access to public services isn't about protecting taxpayers.
It's about picking and choosing who is worthy of healthcare and education.

what really bugs me about the "trans people got ahead of public opinion" line is that it ignores *why* public opinion changed. it didn't just come out of nowhere, there was a deliberate push to make trans rights a wedge issue.

A PERSONAL ADVICE:
π«You suspect possible HEART issues after your COVID-19?
Make an appointment with your GP or cardiologist, and consider starting the conversation like this:
β‘οΈ"I've developed new symptoms such as [e.g., rapid heartbeat, dizziness, chest discomfort, or fatigue when standing], which began weeks/months after my COVID-19 infection. I'd like to discuss a targeted screening for my potential long-term cardiovascular complications, including myocarditis, arrhythmias, increased risk of heart attack/stroke, or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), as clearly outlined in recent statements from the American Heart Association (AHA) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC), which recognise COVID-19 as an independent risk factor for these conditions, even after mild cases."
