We see this lack of vision in Canada as well, where Mark Carney is set on implementing the conservative bromides (smaller government, deregulation) of a bygone era, with no actual creative governance proposals at the domestic or international levels on offer.

Canada: Health Canada won't fight Alberta's plan to charge for COVID vaccines.

"Starting this fall, most of Alberta's 4.8 million residents will need to pay out of pocket for COVID vaccines, if they choose to get them"

Cost per vaccine not stated; CDC estimates about $110 each.

"It's never the crime, it's the cover-up"β€”but sometimes it's both. Many reasons Bill C-2 should be DOA, but a key one is how GoC is using it to sneak problematic 'cybercrime' treaty provisions into our laws, before even publicly deciding if we should be part of those treaties in the first place.

Imagine if all these countries spent 5% of their GDP on actually addressing climate change, or on global health, or on ending poverty. But no. War it is, as always.

This would be the largest public lands sell-off in modern U.S. history and it's happening with no hearings, no debate, and no public input.

Here’s Your Cheat Sheet for Vaccine Recommendations Backed by Science These graphics will guide you through science-based vaccine guidelines for children and adults

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... πŸ§ͺ

RFK Jr. says US won’t donate to global vaccine effort Kennedy ripped into Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in a video address at its pledging summit.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

I just walked past the aftermath of a sweep of an encampment of unhoused folks in my neighborhood, and, man... That is just NOT the solution. People need housing. It's a fucking human right. Period. And in the meantime, they deserve to not be treated like inconvenient trash.

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

Also they should have social security numbers and get welfare. Come on. It is literally called welfare. You're saying you think humans should not collectively care for one another due to the absence of some paperwork. This is failing grade 1 of morality school.
