Campbells Soup is trying to pull a fast one. Their soup hasn't been made in Canada since 2018, but they have printed a Maple Leaf on the label, representing it is. The Maple Leaf is not an official Canada label. This is a marketing ploy! Beware!

Meanwhile, in Canada, Pierre Poilievre is on record opposing vaccine mandates and public health measures in future epidemics/pandemics, and openly supported antivaxxers who terrorized Ottawa and shut down borders. Pierre Poilievre is simply a danger to the health of Canadians.

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Big problem is that in Canada this research is done in Universities. Gov't funding for all levels of education has been cut. It's about to get worse in Ontario as lack of funding shuts down programs.

"The PBO said the net cost to the federal government would be between $3.6 billion and $5 billion, depending on the exact model used." - Imagine if Canada didn't spend $31 billion on a pipeline and instead just provided like 10 years of GBI/UBI for people. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art... #CDNPoli

As federal research grants continue to be frozen, and NIH staff is being gutted, please note this study was funded by federal research grants, including from NIH. If they continue with staff cuts, and continue to freeze new awards, this is just one example of what we lose.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

I took two pieces I wrote on my Freewrite, from start to finish, and one piece from The New York Times, and ran them through AI detectors. They're only 50% certain that one of my pieces is human. The other, AND the NYT reporting, are flagged as AI. Be careful with this shit.
