Provincial #Conservative government across 🇨🇦 have been acting like termites destroying public healthcare, piece by piece. They’re repeating the Tory playbook of destroying the #NHS in 🇬🇧. The political right in positions of power, is how we lose a livable society. #cdnpoli #NeverVoteConservative

never been more stressed than when I was 13 and my uncle took us to Joe's Crab Shack, where our waiter, Cheeto, leapt upon a table and began to dance while his colleagues kept time by pounding bottles of ketchup to the beat and everyone acted like that was just regular business

When I say Ontario is post-democracy, I don't just mean the last election. The Ford Government is doing what it wants, to serve itself, its ideology and its friends. No one voted for what they are doing, and no one would. What the electorate wants is irrelevant. Because this is not a democracy.

This is SO important. The sane world now has hard data to back up that mask mandates worked and that they save both lives and money in a pandemic. That this became a political issue, speaks to the malignancy of the forces that used mask mandates to sow hate, division & disinformation. #cdnpoli

Olivia Tory getting shouted down at council. Love to see it. "Chow, Tory, same old story. Cops make more, we stay poor.” They cut the sound so people watching online can't hear it anymore. LOL, f**k that.

I admit I have no idea how the algorithm works on Bluesky. Is there an algorithm? I dunno. But @lucienlegault.bsky.social kindly made a feed for my account, so you don't have to miss anything. In addition to my ranting, I post all articles from Corruptario here too. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I know this sounds a bit ghoulish but I am, after all, an infectious disease epidemiologist. It’s going to be fascinating to see what a non-frozen winter does to vectorborne disease risk in central Canada and the northern parts of the lower 48 states.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%. George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%. These numbers tell the whole story.
