I have seen several articles that correctly note there will be budget cuts to local emergency management agencies (including loss of staff) if FEMA is eliminated but then effectively say "but that's okay, we have mutual aid". ????? No, no, you don't. www.wvtm13.com/article/alab...

If the US stops fluoridating water, in 5 yrs American children would suffer an additional 25.4 million cavities, with an added cost of $9.8B, and loss of 2.9 million quality-adjusted life years, disproportionately borne by children currently on public health insurance or who lack insurance entirely.

I keep saying this: individually, the anti-vaxxers at hospital protests were the loneliest people I had ever seen. But together, they were a community. Oppositional defiance disorder is basically becoming the basis for an entire worldview; a rejection of the modern world and modernity itself.

NEW: Alberta’s government has appointed itself the arbiter of who can reach which books at which age. Make no mistake about it, this will only lead to more censorship. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

Trump’s decision to ban Harvard University from enrolling international students as punishment for opposing him is like the behavior of an abusive husband toward his wife: he is systematically destroying her connection with the outside world.

so you won't even be able to PAY to get a covid jab? US folks who can afford it can go abroad to get jabbed (miserable as that is) but most won't and this is going to breed more variants in the US making it even less appealing to visit. such a massive false economy

There are currently more kids in Texas with measles than there are transgender collegiate athletes in all of America. Guess which one they want you to focus on.

I love how Poilievre spent two years and an election trying to enrage Canadians into fury over how much they spend on taxes but then loses the election and his own seat… and charges Canadians taxpayers $1.38M to run in a byelection instead of resigning.

There are 87 seats in Alberta Legislature. The UCP has 47 seats. But Smith has fired 2 MLAs - if they went independant and 2 more MLAs decide they are Canadians and go independant , then with a vote of nonconfidence WE CAN BRING THE SEPARATIST SMITH DOWN NOW. #UPCcorruption #never51

Part of this afternoon’s announcement by the AB govt was likely to appease or distract the UCP’s base after this morning’s announcement by the AB govt about actually recommending vaccines for our rapidly-expanding measles outbreak. Or maybe to distract from their healthcare corruption scandal…

1/8 ⚠️ FAILURE BY UCP & AHS LEADS TO WORST ALBERTA MEASLES CRISIS IN DECADES ⚠️ Alberta is experiencing its most severe measles outbreak since 1987, with case counts soaring to 265 including three children currently in intensive care. A failure of government inaction. #PublicHealth #Measles

Being able to identify hoaxes, avoid scams & debunk propaganda is a civic skill required in today's information society. That's why curriculum of students in Finland includes media literacy lessons, aimed at safeguarding a precious resource: the truth.

The impact of an unpopular American president on a foreign election is stunning. Never seen anything like the seismic political shift Trump triggered in Canada to deliver a stunning Liberal win. Trump’s toxicity is rewriting global politics.

This made me laugh out loud. Trump is implying he would be the best leader for Canada - obviously this would be achieved through a Poilievre win. PP is probably squirming and furious right now.

Some people do not fully recover from an acute viral infection and experience persistent symptoms or incomplete recovery for months or even years. This is not unique to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and history shows that post-viral conditions like post COVID-19 condition, referred to as LC, are not new 1/7
