Holy shit... Anyone - regardless of political affiliation - should be TERRIFIED of this much government over reach in the media! It's like your first amendment... Do you really want these things restricted and controlled?
Home of the free? HA!
Loomer spent weeks posting racist stereotypes about Indians on X then flew to India anyway. Rajdeep Sardesai looked her dead in the eye & said βyouβre brazenly racist and Islamophobic.β She had no answers. Just tears.
U.S. mainstream media, take notes. This is accountability journalism.
Yes, and the situation will only worsen as time goes on as millions more are left with Long COVID and PCCs
Advocates warned about this since COVID mitigations began to be stripped way.
This is happening everywhere, not just Canada.
Whatβs your experience with healthcare over the last few years?
Just three weeks before he was assassinated Malcom X appeared on a Canadian game show. It is incredible footage. It reveals how Canadian media saw Malcom X as compared to how he was treated in the United States.

Feb. 2026, Science Alert: "'Zombie' Remnants of COVID-19 Hunt In Packs And Kill Our Immune Cells"
'Amid this backdrop, many have been left struggling without adequate support for the ongoing consequences of long COVID, which are very real and debilitating'
www.sciencealert.com/zombie-remna...
Things we want people to know. 6 years after the start* of the COVID-19 pandemic. *The day the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This was not the date of the first case.
Itβs not just a cold. We wish it were just a cold. We would not keep talking about it if so. Since 2020, doctors, scientists, and millions of people who have had COVID-19 have learned that it can cause permanent damage to multiple organ systems within your body, leave you disabled and unable to do the things you love, and significantly harm your quality of life. A cold cannot disable or kill you the way COVID-19 can.
We know a lot more about prevention than we did back then. We all remember when we thought maybe weβd be ok as long as we were 6 feet away from sick people; that masks worked one way but not the other; and more. But just like with all new viruses and scientific study, we learned more as there was more time to study and observe, and we now know that wearing masks and keeping cleaner air are key to protecting ourselves and others. Now that we know better, we can (and should) better protect ourselves and others.
We understand the frustration about vaccines, but they are still extremely important. We all remember when vaccines were first made available, and it wouldβve been great if that was the end of the pandemic. It wasnβt. And a lot of people have gotten frustrated and have given up on vaccination. Itβs true, the virus that causes COVID-19 changes (which is why, like the annual flu shot, we need to get updated COVID-19 vaccines each year), and the vaccines we have now will not eliminate COVID-19 on their own. But they are still very effective at preventing serious illness and death, so even though they are not the one quick solution to the pandemic we all wish they were, they are still extremely important, and we should all stay up to date.
This week marked the anniversary of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Weβve summarized our thoughts a bit below, but tl;dr: Unfortunately, COVID-19 is still with us, & although we may be tired of hearing about it, itβs extremely important to continue to take steps to protect ourselves & others.
A lot of you are risking your health because of a comforting lie..
"... so it's ok for us to do it too," he continued (probably)
That βunder 5 in 2022β cohort ages, and vaccine βcoverageβ data is no longer reported the same way. Still, we have no reason to believe that kids are being vaccinated in significant numbers. This means our unvaccinated population is growing. And concentrates in daycares and elementary schools. /2
Especially if youβre a woman or POC or already disabled, and your suffering tends to be weighted as less important (or less real) even when itβs something simple and not a complex medical mystery with the potential to bruise doctorsβ egos.
I donβt think unconditional surrender is imminent.
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.
I wonder if the higher number is more truly representative of the LC rate, due to
1) military ppl pushed harder, and thus more impacted by subtler effects,
2) military requiring members being more honest (or lesser able to hide/overlook effects),
3) healthier to start, so effects more glaring.
CONCLUSIONS In our sample of 650,173 COVID cases among active-duty military personnel, a total of 278,278 were identified as having post-COVID-19 syndrome (42.8%). Of these, 273,405 reported post-COVID symptoms in at least two visits (42.1%). Our findings showed that the top three symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome in military personnel are related to pulmonary, neurological, and fatigue issues. Mild to moderate cases of this syndrome could leave military personnel with long-term deficits in their overall fitness and readiness. This readiness is a critical aspect of military effectiveness, ensuring that personnel can respond rapidly and decisively to threats. Thus, continued assessment and potential treatments are needed to assist active-duty military personnel to improve their overall health outcomes.
Oh look, the πΊπΈ military concludes over 40% of COVID infections lead to Long COVID, among a population sample that is all adults, & on average in better physical condition & younger than the national/global population.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.
Yeah I was thinking about that... Wouldn't be too bad. Still requires some infrastructure, technical implementation and support people. Cheaper than recreating what was there before, but still would take some time and effort.
Completely ripping out and redoing the bridge plaza meant there is no route to reverse that decision - the reimplementstion cost would be staggering. The HST reversal, however, is trivial.
The tax cut and removing tolls were simply to buy votes - and it worked. I, and many other, screamed at the time about the financial problems it would cause while making little to no difference in the lives of most people. Nobody listened. And now it's time to pay the piper.
Truth...

He also made sure to blame the restoration of those programs for additional fiscal hardship that it would cause.
So again, finding someone else to blame in the process of trying to sound like a caring leader. π‘
My favorite example of misplaced American egotism is the abysmal failure of Target to come to Canada.
They felt it would be an easy market to take over, esp once Zellers had disappeared.
It was a horrible failure, with the cross Canada venture tucking tail and retreating back to the States quickly
Guess Iβm off to Halifax again
Deep cuts to education, arts, environment &more
The Premierβs budget priorities show who he thinks matters in the province
Fact is our arts, environment and young people are the beating heart of what makes N.S. our home
Do better, Mr Premier

π¨You have until March 12 to write in a public comment to ACIP.
Theyβre trying to make Covid-19
vaccine injury a banner behind which they can attempt to ban the vaccine.
Potentially attempting to link the vaccine to Long Covid cases, and/or redefine what Long Covid is. π¨
screenshot of text::"The United Nations instituted International Womenβs Day (IWD) in 1975βor so the official story runs. Few remember not only that the origins of March 8 lie in the history of the international workersβ movement, but that it was the socialist movement in the United States that first launched the idea of a day devoted to womenβs rights centered on working-class women. In fact, the Socialist Party USA first established a day of education and action around womenβs rights called βWomanβs Dayβ in 1908, and the following year U.S. socialists held demonstrations in several cities to demand womenβs suffrage. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed the transformation of the U.S. Womanβs Day into an international day of actionβInternational Working Womenβs Dayβwhich, in 1914, started being celebrated on March 8. Three years later, on March 8, 1917, Russian women workers took to the streets in St. Petersburg, organizing a strike to demand bread and peace. It was the beginning of the Russian Revolution."
