Smith on respecting First Nations and Treaty Rights...

Well really, I only have to take the treaties seriously and show respect if the separatists get the signatures, I wouldn't want to offend anyone!

Meanwhile, on the health file, the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆConservatives have Pierre Polievre as the leader who hates expertise, incited the anti-vaxx KuKluxKonvoy truckers and promises to ban all vaccine mandates so your kids can get polio, whooping cough, measles, mumps, COVID etc etc.

By the way, ONLY party members who paid $1000 and went to the convention, got to vote. The rank and file members did not get a vote. #cdnpoli #CPCConvention

youtube.com/shorts/Aks3Q... and what did Trump do? He laughed, and said โ€˜I guess that means I own the tallest building nowโ€™. He scammed $150k from the 9/11 assistance fund, lying that his building had damage, yet, THIS is the kind of person who gets elected - TWICE. He doesnโ€™t care. USA? Really?

Trillium Health came to my door asking for donations to build a new public hospital in Waterloo.

I told them: I respect your work-but no. I already pay taxes. Doug Ford is hoarding billions and
starving public healthcare.

Ask him where the money went. #ONpoli

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

This is a sensible explanation of what went down at the G7 today - and why tRumpy is beating a hasty retreat.

Living in Ontario is getting worse by the day.
Doug Ford is as bad as Trump, in a smaller playground.
So many bad bills it is hard to keep up.

Trump Melts Down at โ€˜Why Do You Always Chicken Outโ€™ Question The president also lashed out at the reporter who asked about Wall Streetโ€™s new nickname for his trade war.

Trump had an Oval Office meltdown over Wall Streetโ€™s new acronym for his tariffs: TACO Trade, which stands for โ€œTrump Always Chickens Out.โ€

Bill 5: Ontarioโ€™s development and mining law, explained | The Narwhal Public commenting on Bill 5 closes in a few days. Hereโ€™s everything you need to know about Ontarioโ€™s omnibus development bill

Today is the last day for Ontarians to comment on Bill 5, which would wipe out the the Endangered Species Act and give cabinet the power to create โ€œspecial economic zonesโ€ where development can be pushed through without regard for provincial or municipal rules. #onpoli

This research article investigates the cardiovascular effects of Long COVID, specifically how SARS-CoV-2 impacts heart cells (cardiomyocytes) at the mitochondrial level. Here are the key findings:

- **Mitochondrial Damage:** Analysis of heart tissue from five Long COVID patients revealed widespread mitochondrial abnormalities and degradation of muscle fibers (myofilaments) in heart cells.
- **Animal Studies:** Similar mitochondrial damage was observed in SARS-CoV-2-infected mice, suggesting a common mechanism.
- **Proteomic Changes:** The study identified significant changes in proteins related to mitochondrial function in infected mouse heart tissue.
- **Severe Cardiac Outcomes:** The five patients experienced conditions such as myocarditis, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and sudden cardiac death during exercise.
- **Long-Term Health Risks:** The study emphasizes the need for ongoing cardiovascular monitoring for individuals recovering from COVID-19 due to potential lasting effects on heart health.

Overall, the findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 directly harms mitochondria in heart cells, potentially explaining the cardiovascular complications seen in Long COVID patients.
