The Canadian Government has cancelled food programs for children that were ordered as part of a larger court case. They are choosing to take the food out of the mouths of children and rely on communities not being able to litigate. It is unconscionable. #cdnpoli

Oh, Canada.

In the US, my Canadian dollar is worth .73 cents. In Canada it’s worth 1$ Spending my Canadian dollar here, I get more goodies and I’m helping our economy. Starting with a 1000 island cruise tomorrow. And I don’t have to put up with the crazies. Elbows up eh!

If anyone is curious about the air quality in London, Ontario rn or the fact that n95s keep shizz out of your lungs…

Here is what CDC should be putting out. They had some of these images but in the wrong order & text so I followed the science to redesign

Half the country is burning, and the other half is choking on the smoke. Just another reminder: the top-performing countries on climate action all use proportional representation. It's time to get on board, not just for democracy, but for the future of the planet.

Anyone can hang a shingle under various legally unprotected titles (e.g., wellness consultant, quantum coach, etc.). If someone wants to employ them for motivation, go for it. Ethical problems emerge when they begin to offer health services with no qualifications or regulation.

Alan Turing, who was one of the single most important figures in defeating Nazi Germany and essentially created the field of computer science, wasn’t pardoned until 2013

Canada is sending refugees back to the US -- a regime that violates their rights and deports women and children. We have obligations to those people. It's time we honoured them. Mr. Carney, tear down that wall. My latest substack. open.substack.com/pub/caroloff...

hoooly shit This is a real question posed to The New York Times Ethicist And their answer was not what some might call... ethical!!! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/m...

The cost of food in Canada continues to outpace inflation. “4 in 5 Canadians believe grocery stores are taking advantage of inflation to increase their prices further than necessary.”

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

In the USA, a recent series of Executive Actions pose a substantial threat to the nation's health and health equity. In our latest issue, a new Comment highlights why and how academic medicine must champion diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. Read this & more ▶️ tinyurl.com/6fn6uvr7

As wildfires rage and “razor blade throat” Covid spreads, it’s important to wear a well fitted respirator. Even if you’re over covid. Even if you trust your immune system. The pandemic is ongoing. The fires are toxic. My guide to all things masks! www.disabledginger.com/p/were-witne...

At the G7 conference, Carney wants to counter foreign interference and transnational crime, yet invites Modi who arranged the assassination of a Canadian citizen & is linked to organised crime & murders. Modi has also regularly attacked Muslims in India. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/06/07/c...

In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented. (Photo from a colleague in DC)

Cliched photos time! These puffins were doing their contractually obliged job of posing by some thrift on Papa Westray a couple of days ago. Unsurprisingly, I ended up with hundreds of pictures. Here are just three... #birds #puffins

I am shocked to learn Mark Carney has invited Indian PM Modi to attend G7 meetings in Alberta. This is a betrayal of vulnerable Canadians targeted by the Indian government. Read the NDP statement: www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-joi...

No surprise here Alberta is not on Team Canada www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

As the planet burns. Canada has the 3rd highest child asthma rate caused by pollution in the world. Air pollution kills 34,000 people die in Canada every year. 8.7 million people die around the world. More than deaths from smoking. And Canada is going all in on fossil fuel burning.

A few days ago, I personally emailed Canada’s foreign affairs department to seek comment about the government’s response to the genocide in Gaza. They responded. Here's what they said:

Meanwhile in Canada 🇨🇦: children aren’t allowed outside because our politicians are idiots.

Whooping cough (pertussis) is also known as “100 day cough” bc it can cause 100 days of coughing so severe that rib fractures are common. It also makes small children stop breathing without warning, often fatally. Vaccination can prevent up to 89% of infections but requires boosting every few years

Another Denver resident has tested positive for measles transmitted by a passenger on a Turkish Airlines flight last month. >1100 measles cases have been reported in the US this year. The virus can put people at risk while in airports, train depots & on public transportation—planes, trains & buses👇

Weekend thought: Why do people get so twisted up over unhoused people smoking drugs as they step over them but seem unable to point a finger when oil companies blow forest fire smoke straight into their kids' lungs for weeks on end?

San Antonio police have walked back on a previous statement that there was no evidence of a hate crime in the killing of actor Jonathan Joss, with the police chief now calling the statement “premature.”

'Doctors’ testimonies must be taken seriously, as must reports by UN and NGAs.

Holy smokes! Our article is on the cover of The Lancet!!!!!!!!!! Nbd 💅

What are you doing about this Doug Ford ? Ontario is now the measles epicentre of the western world. There have been 2,009 cases of measles in the province since October. Cases have been climbing by the hundreds over the last month. Three quarters of those cases occurred in the unvaccinated.
