What happened to “Canada is not for sale”?
Sorry kids, but Canadians were tricked.
We need a leader for the people, like @avilewis.ca
Excited about Carney's sales trip to Australia?

“For clinicians, other practice implications involve taking sleep screening more seriously before initiating stimulants and potentially reframing conversations with patients and families around motivation and reward rather than a broken attention system.”

“A deteriorating security situation in the Caribbean might ⬆️the risk of sabotage or terrorist attacks on oil infrastructure,impacting the global energy market.Given Guyana’s territor dispute with Venezuela over this same oil-rich region,there is the possi for the situation to further spiral.”
Cholera in Haiti was a gift of the UN, whose Nepali peacekeepers brought the disease, and WHO, which tried to cover it up: thetyee.ca/Culture/2016...
New Lancet meta-analysis finds measles vaccine immunity wanes over time, with seropositivity dropping from ~93% within 10 yrs to ~83% at 16–22 yrs.
The authors say their findings warrant an urgent review of vaccination strategies

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?
How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Other candidates' fundraising letters have mentioned the difficult process & Emily had to put out detailed information on how to navigate the difficult voter verification process. This is the process, believe it or not—& even people who followed it exactly still encountered glitches and problems:

Ever so proud of the good people of Syros www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
Dr. Henry has barely acknowledged long COVID & continues to endorse policies based on droplet dogma. She has consistently minimized the risks of long COVID in kids - even though it's now the #1 chronic health condition affecting them

Oligarchs are again giving out a gold star to the one willing to sacrifice others for their gains.
This seems important. Especially in a time when cost benefit analyses are being made wrt vaccinating to public. When the benefit is indisputably worth the cost, where else are tax dollars being allocated?

So the answer is yes.
Meaning NACI may be making decisions on COVID vaccines using inaccurate data.
A brilliant deep dive into the ossified and dogmatic structures behind the widening gap between public health and scientific evidence.

Graphic in JAMA pediatrics from May 2025 with a table showing the most common long Covid symptoms in children by age groups (0-2yrs, 3-5yrs, 6-11yrs, 12-17yrs)
A recent @jama.com article states Long COVID is the "most common chronic health problem in children," affecting the 10-20% with past infection
They've asked us to accept this as normal

Yesterday, at 87, my dad & former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, stood for an hour by the road in his old riding.
As a Jewish elder, he stood against genocide embodying the values he has always championed. I am so proud to see him on the right side of history – as always. ❤️

What makes a good health leader? As soothing as "Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe" may sound, without action, it’s just another empty slogan. Canadians need someone who takes timely, decisive actions to truly protect us. Now, and when the next pandemic strikes.
