Two people die after donating plasma at Canadian clinics under federal investigation Company that runs the sites says it has β€˜no reason to believe there is a correlation between the donors’ passing and plasma donation’

We need both a full coroner's inquest and Health Canada investigation

A coroner's inquest has the power to reveal issues that Health Canada is not going to want to touch

This is a very timely thread because hubbie has to decide pretty soon whether or not to have radiation, with all the potential negative side effects and there are many.

A real jump into the abyss.

Spain permanently withdraws ambassador as rift with Israel deepens Spain permanently withdrew its ambassador to Israel on Tuesday as a ​diplomatic standoff worsened between the two countries β€Œover Spain's opposition to the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran.

Spain just made a diplomatic snub to Israel permanent. Madrid formally ended its ambassador's posting to Israel, confirming that the role is being scrapped.

Along with a pipeline to the west coast, carbon capture is another ill-thought and dumb idea of the Carney government.

There is no way to "decarbonize" a carbon.

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

This is a meme circulating among the Alberta separatists. This is not about equalization or pipelines. It is a desire to create some sort of (dis)utopia based on conspiracy theories.

Health care transfers can't be overruled by using the notwithstanding clause. The feds can and should just withhold the money until conditions are met.

What research have you seen that suggests this? None of the sleep experts preferring standard over daylight time ever mention sunsets.

"they use all this water for free. To produce one barrel of oil, they have to use 17 barrels of water & that water can't be returned to the system β€”it sits in tailings ponds. The quality of the water is going down. … water samples & air samples and we're getting all sorts of disturbing readings."

It’s fine for Russia to use drones to freeze out your population β€” by the way, can you give us your drone defenses? This is the actual US position.

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

The researchers don't need to seek out permanent dst to gather data about late sunrises. All they have to do is look north. However, they haven't and that is why I'm dubious.

Sunrise for 21 December for cities on standard time for their time zone:

Helsinki 9:25am
Glasgow 8:45am
Edmonton 8:50am

This doesn't explain how there are huge populations with late sunrise who do not appear to suffer from what these people are claiming. Don't get me wrong; I don't really care one way or another but I find the science which everyone is claiming exists flies in the face of some hard facts.

Does the science really show this for everyone? Anyone living north of the 50th parallel has alway had darkness until 9am or later in the winter months. What about the science showing what happens when sunrise is 3am in summer? I haven't seen any experts referencing the people these situations.

I've updated wwater.ca so that the next data refresh will generate graphs covering up toβ€―30β€―months (2.5β€―years) of data, instead of the current 12β€―months (1β€―year).

Thank you all for your interest and for sharing wwater.ca with your communities and loved ones. Stay safe!
