Wow. When @theglobeandmail.com headlines that piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s platform is an exercise in “magical thinking,” you know he’s in trouble. 🤷🏼🍁🤔💯🤷🏼

The U.S. is letting people report Canadian doctors like they’re criminals — you know, for doing their jobs. And no one’s really talking about it yet. Oh, and apparently our kids' mattresses are full of banned chemicals. Cool cool. Details 👇 canadahealthwatch.ca/newsletter/2...

The quiet bombshells are often as deadly as the loud ones. This, my friends, is why I continue to mask in public spaces.

Poilievre is dangerous to all of us. Glad to hear people talking about Poilievre’s relationship to Rebel News and True North—the cause of the media scrum shut down at the Leaders’ Debate—as some of us have lived through years of harassment condoned by Poilievre and far-right media. #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦

“Pierre Poilievre’s inner circle is stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, and his campaign has received major donations from oil industry insiders. Poilievre can be tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries and the Canadian Gas Association.” An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

New poll finds Mark Carney leads in favourability among debate watchers

Mark Carney to Pierre Poilievre: "You've spent years running against Justin Trudeau and the carbon tax and they're both gone."

Today in economic impact...

Notoriously anti-establishment Neil Young, this is remarkable.

What makes a good public health leader? Leadership matters, especially in a crisis. #COVID19 made that painfully clear, by Lyne Filiatrault, Arijit Chakravarty, David Fisman canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/04/13/w... via @canadahealthwatch.bsky.social @dfisman.bsky.social

Everyone hold your shit together for two more weeks, vote 🗳️ , and we will be rid of Pierre Poilievre, FOREVER #cdnpoli

Sound advice & I always knew she was Canadian-coded. #cdnpoli

Toronto Public Health (TPH) is warning those who went to a concert at the Coca-Cola Coliseum earlier this month could have been exposed to measles. Date: April 1, from about 5:30 to 11:59 p.m., possible exposure to measles. Forrest Frank was performing at the open-air venue that night.

“This study confirms that SARS-CoV-2 can persist in the semen of patients who have recovered from COVID-19…the male genital tract may be a reservoir for the virus. …highlights the need for further research into the reproductive implications of COVID-19… .” www.auajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1...

“Pierre Poilievre likes to present himself as a regular guy focused on Canadians’ bread and butter concerns, but the reality is he’s a well-connected shill for the industry that’s undermined Canada for decades and is preventing our transition off fossil fuels.” An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

I say this with complete humility and sadness, I do think Americans, on average, are becoming stupider. The combination of a possible pandemic effect, inequities in the educational system, rampant disinformation, the politics of anti-science, and an increasingly dumbed-down media all contribute.

Anyone else discover today they’ve been inundated by fake followers, many sharing the same stupid memes, all with zero posts? I’ve reported some to @support.bsky.team but would like to know if it’s possible to block en masse and prevent more of same.

"New York health officials name Ontario in #measles travel advisory." That's right. Disease spread is so bad that Ontario is being flagged as a dangerous destination. By a country whose health system is run by a anti-vaxxer. Let that sink in. www.cp24.com/news/2025/04...

SITE confirms that there have been no incidents that will impact Canada's to have a free and fair election, but notes that there HAS been a campaign of inauthentic and coordinated behaviour intended to influence Canadian-Chinese communities in Canada. I believe this is the first SITE attribution.

Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 is announcing urgent new steps to help protect Canadian retirees in this global crisis. #cdnpoli
