World Central Kitchen Halts Cooking in Gaza as Supplies Exhausted Due to Israeli Closure of Border Crossings WCK trucks remain loaded for delivery of food and supplies but do not have Israeli permission to enter WCK has provided 130+ million meals over past 18 months, cooking 133,000 meals daily

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Fact check: Trump claimed the US doesn’t do “much business with Canada.” In reality, Canada is the world’s top buyer of US exports.

The fact that people who claim to be serious are still out here both-sidesing (or actively supporting) one of the most defining cruelties of our lifetime is brutal scar on the humanity of the western world

There is a war on journalists raging around the world: let their voices be heard. Today is #WorldPressFreedomDay, by @annieknk.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/media/2025/m... via @theguardian.com #journalism

Froh: I knocked on roughly 5k doors during the election. Not one person asked me to revisit fluoride. They asked me to focus on roads, taxes, houselessness, REAL. Here we are taking a whole day, spending thousands of public dollars to do this. #yqrcc

Petrick: The expertise should come from dentists, dental associations, medical associations, who've gone over the literature & whose whole being is to advocate for the health of children. It's up to council to take advice from experts. #yqrcc

Need to address some misinformation: The question of who lives in Stornoway is set out in law, it’s not left to Mark Carney’s arbitrary discretion The Official Residences Act depoliticizes these questions and prevents prime ministers from using arbitrary powers to be ”petty“ to the opposition

This fundamentally ignores the lengthy 2021 debate that happened and 9 if the 11 council members were not there for. Should I be enjoying my holiday? Yes. This is absolutely wild

Dickinson: Dr David Gaia has been asked by RFKjr to lead his study on autism. He has a history of publishing shoddy studies and for practising medicine without a license. These are not people your council should be taking ideas from. #yqrcc

Dickinson: Water fluoridation was rightly cited as one of the four most important health developments of the twentieth century and the residents of Regina should have it available to them. #yqrcc

Flores: Has the consensus on water fluoridation changed since 2021? Dickinson: Overall, the vast majority of the evidence still shows that fluoride is worthwhile. Yes there are studies that purport to show fluoride is bad, but they're not good studies. #yqrcc

Petrick: You should not be relying on the cherry-picked research that brings into question — cherry picked is not evidence. #yqrcc

Petrick: We have a safe, highly effective tool to improve dental health & that's water fluoridation. It reduces cavities by a whopping 25% across all age groups. #yqrcc

Petrick: That does track. Especially for children who are vulnerable who can't go to the dentist regularly, they have behavioural issues, so they have to go to the operating theatre & go under general anaesthetic & the waiting time can be up to a year. #yqrcc

The UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) says nearly 3,000 aid trucks are piled up at Gaza’s border, unable to cross due to Israel’s now two-month blockade. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/aszkn6

“I would go as far as to say that community water fluoridation is probably our best health equity-oriented public health intervention that we have,” said Jennifer Meyer, a nurse and professor of health sciences at the University of Alaska..” www.statnews.com/2024/11/13/f...

"If you or any other Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere." Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation issues a scathing rebuke of Danielle Smith's talks on a national unity crisis.

Huuuge mistake!

Americans overwhelmingly DISAPPROVE of Trump’s handling of the economy.

Spotted on reddit… Spadina Strategies conducted a poll in Regina in April on whether folks want fluoride in their drinking water. 52% DO want fluoridated water while only 31% do not. #yqrcc

IMPORTANT: “As Canadians prepare to go to the polls on Monday, they are being bombarded with misleading rightwing content on US social media platforms that has fuelled concerns about their potentially damaging role in the general election.” The easiest, most constant & most dangerous interference.

This is really scary!
