It’s Long Covid Awareness Week, and we need governments to make long Covid a priority. So we’re asking YOU to send a letter to your federal and provincial/territorial representatives, urging them to fund long Covid awareness, research, and support. #ILCAD2025 #LongCovidAwarenessDay 1/2

In Nov 2022 we exposed the fact that public health officials in all provinces and territories had been receiving a staggering quantity of high quality information on the prevalence and severity of Long Covid since as early as July 2020... ...and didn't tell us. #cdnnews #cdnpoli #longcovid

Still wrapping my head and my words around this, but here is a peak at what I've uncovered. In addition to spurious rationale for abandoning the nationally established definition of a Covid-19 fatality, NB's reporting change led to approximately 44% of Covid-caused deaths to go uncounted in 2023.

Colorado COVID Wastewater update, 3/7* All levels for all viruses drop rather spectacularly in this most recent data update. As Wednesday's update had MUCH higher levels & EVERYTHING shows a change in trend, this looks like noisy data rather than a trend change. (sorry - forgot to cross post!)

“Justin Trudeau advanced ambitious climate policy, supported gender equity and women’s safety, and was a true champion of LGBTQ+ rights. He also lifted 144 boil-water advisories in Indigenous communities — none had been lifted over nine years under Harper.” An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

Yes he did and supported his cabinet members to meet with ADF Nazis then the Candace Bergen Maple Maga with the US Maga Andrew Scheer tried to topple our government. I will never forget who all was involved. You are now pariahs in Canada along with your boss IDU Stephen Harper.

Trump claims he is imposing 250% tariffs on CDN dairy. Lol. CDN dairy isn't competing in the US. We supply a domestic market. So go for it. I have fought for dairy farmers my whole career. Check out this photo of a much younger me with Jack Layton +John Vanthof defending CDN dairy from US dumping.

At the start of COVID, we all learned how to beat airborne viruses like the flu: by wearing masks and staying home when we are sick. It's a real shame we haven't translated those important lessons into long-term behavioral change.

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

My latest -- Carney has made his career (and his weath) by bending government to allow corporations to profit. We should all beware a Carner PM and organize to force him to do what will not come naturally -- take from the corporate class and redistribute wealth among everyone else.

It’s kind of amazing how Poilievre is trying to frame himself as the one who can stand up to Trump, and yet he can’t help himself from mimicking the way Trump talks. A big beautiful tax cut. I mean come on.
