Why I mask. Maybe. misfitmentalhealth.substack.com/p/why-are-pe...

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy. There is no going along to get along with this thug. Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

Political dissension getting suppressed in Alberta. Getting a little dangerous to be an opponent of this gov't. Feels wrong, for a liberal democracy. Que pasa? www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Smith says she first became aware of contract concerns when she saw the newspaper reporting, but later says they've been looking into concerns of wrongdoing for 8 months? Hard to keep your story straight when you're lying! #ableg #abpoli

NDP Leader Naheed @naheednenshi.bsky.social calling for Smith's resignation today if the allegations published in the Globe are true about her former Chief of Staff Marshall Smith. Nenshi says either Smith knew & she's complicit or she didn't know and she's incompetent. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Me as a kid: “Leftovers!? 🤢” Me as an adult: “Leftovers!? Sweet! No cooking!”

It would be easier were this truly the end of the world, for in that case you would be free to do nothing. But this is not the end of the world, just the end of the world as you knew it, and so in this case you are obligated to do something.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

Sure is a bad time to be a person who cares about things.

Alberta Energy Minister Brian Jean has rescinded the coal mining ban on the Eastern Slopes that was put in place after public outcry. #ableg #abpoli www.aer.ca/about-aer/me...

This is why the incompetence and self-serving lies of public health leaders is so deadly. Their echo chamber keeps information out, but spews the misinformation they produce directly into the ears of sycophants in media and politics.

Birds Not Predominantly Airborne Says Health Minister

Either way, there is a price on carbon. Choice is whether to be proactive or reactive (limit the cost or not). #ClimateCatastrophe www.reuters.com/world/americ...

This may be the funniest and yet simultaneously the saddest attempt at historical revisionism I have ever seen. And the way the section snippets fall out is just...👨‍🍳😙 "None declared..." 🤣 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Trump is not funny but scary. To threaten with imperialist land grabs with armed force is the worst any leader can do. It places Trump in the same category as Saddam Hussein (Kuwait 1990) and Putin.

Conservatives in Canada seem to believe that if -- or when -- the carbon tax is removed, food price inflation will disappear. Trevor Tombe and Jennifer Winter have shown why that isn't the case with their recent study. Allow me to pile on a bit here. Thread time.

Absolutely batshit that Pierre Poilievre, who will probably be our next PM, is sitting down with present-day far-right grifter Jordan Peterson. The alarm bells couldn’t blare any louder, folks!!!!!!

This is beautiful. Those smiles! youtu.be/6jlu6-tw74o?...

America threatens Canada with a 25% tariff on all exports, and Alberta's government responds by....defending America?

This paper is interesting for a few reasons. It shows that mask mandates in healthcare protect patients from infections, and removing mask mandates in healthcare harms patients. A facility without a mask mandate is making a *deliberate choice* known to harm patients. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

A very broad range of statistics appear to be worsening for reasons that are, or are likely, attributable to COVID infection / PCC: Life expectancy, chronic disease, motor vehicle accidents, etc. Please reply with more, with links to evidence where possible. Ok to list "maybes", we can filter later.

Just walked to a beach on the eastern coast of Australia. Hundreds and hundreds of dead birds washed up on the shore. Dogs rolling in them. People without a care. 😬 Seems imprudent. We didn’t stick around. #BirdFlu

This is just has to be my first post…
