They look longingly south of the border where their law enforcement brethren act with impunity. I hope aggressive behaviour is quashed. Peaceful protest is an important part of functioning democracy

I talk to a lot of people in a week, & many have told me they’ve been sick with flu (or perhaps covid, but no one can test). The full recovery takes around a month. I do not regret masking as much as I do, even though I’m sure some think I overdo it. Only one stranger has questioned the need to mask

1/ If I hear one more public official call indoor air filters a "band-aid," I'm going to explode! Filtering indoor air should be as standard as filtering water. Full stop. 🧵

Canadians travelling to the US advised to not fucking do that OTTAWA - Canadians thinking of planning a trip to the United States are being advised by the Government of Canada to perhaps consider going anywhere else on the entire fucking planet for their summer ...

Glad to hear Max is getting another year with the Blue Jays

They could also look into portmanteaus and what it means to ‘ship a couple. Yes, I parent a teen.

It’s what kids learn in grade one, so we all learn it ‘cause it’s a song.

And grade one was 11 years ago, so don’t discount the fine arts in helping you learn science.

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

I agree with the broad swaths of what you’re saying, but I would also mention there are many physicians/scientists, well versed in health/science, who defer to their professional hierarchy. The most egregious science deniers are upholding a power structure that they aspire to be invited into.

Hey it’s me, a racialized person born in Alberta to an immigrant parent, with trans and queer friends, saying that the UCP does not get to determine who belongs here. All of us, and the Albertans yet to come, deserve to be here. And we must stand with Indigenous people to honour treaty promises.

FDA reverses course, agrees to review Moderna’s flu vaccine The FDA reversed course and told Moderna it would review its application for a new flu vaccine, the company announced Wednesday.

I firmly believe that people who blow vuvuzelas at sporting events also talk on their phones in public places using the speaker.

Okay, that’s a coincidence…I was just saying that yesterday as I was admiring the prominent maple leaf on the packaging. Distinctive Hawkins font as well.

Screen shot of the increase in co2 levels after lightning candles during a power outage. Went from below 800 with two people and a dog on the level of the monitor, to over 1200 in a short time frame

Interesting data collection this morning. I was up with my child watching the olympics starting at 430. We lost power around 6 AM and I lit candles around 615. The increase in CO2 concentration is notable.

Same with @thestar.com And as a result, I will not resubscribe. Congrats to the Toronto Star! Long time subscriber who occasionally takes a break will never return.

you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

John Mitchell, Nixon’s Attorney General, served 19 months in prison for perjury, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy related to Watergate. Nixon, of course, resigned and was pardoned by President Ford
