Measles is caused by the measles, or rubeola, virus. It transmits through the air and is extremely contagious. Its reproduction number is estimated to be 12-18, so each infected person generates 12-18 new cases in a susceptible population. Best way to avoid it: vaccination.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

The Region of Waterloo is buying up farmland and threatening some farmers with expropriation, following the Doug Ford government's push for industrial land. The Narwhal, in collaboration with The Waterloo Record, has learned the site is for a future Toyota plant. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-wilm...

Elon Musk (who gives Nazi salutes at inaugurations for presidents he owns) doesn't believe Canada is a real country and is using Starlink to extort minerals from Ukraine, which means #DougFord (aka Captain Canada) will #CancelStarlink, the $100M deal he made with Elon, to protect Ontarians, right?

We’re partnering w/ a number of groups participating in an #economicblackout THIS Friday, 2/28. Do not spend, if possible. No Starbucks on your way to work. No drinks w/ the coworkers after work. No dining out. No Walmart run. No quick McDonald’s drive-thru hit. Hurt their wallets!

It must suck to attend a WH Press briefing while AP is locked out and most of the questions go to right-wing podcasters and internet channels while you sit there and get ignored. I’d rather be AP taking a principled stand than whatever that is.

In 2021, over 300,000 Albertans voted Liberal but got just 2 seats, @chrystia-freeland.bsky.social. Proportional representation would ensure every vote counts—no matter where you live.

I wonder who these “government officials” were that said Alberta would willingly join America first, the Saskatchewan, then BC (BCers would rather dive into a volcano). Which Conservative politicians put the bug in that guy’s ear? Which MPs? Or was it Team Danielle Smith or Team Scott Moe?

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

10,000% inappropriate for Americans to have any comment about Canadian sovereignty. Offensive beyond measure. There is no "two sides" to illegal threats from any country to annex another one. How about "what do you think of a thug who comments he wants to beat your mother up and steal her house"?

This is very true. If they don't cancel the collaborationist nonsense they're planning to run today, it will be an absolute gift to those who are campaigning to defund the CBC. Normalizing is complicity. Vimy, not Vichy 🇨🇦.

"Threats of annexation which break international law" isn't an issue with a legitimate middle position. You're either an extremist, and support international aggression, or you're a normal person. No other option. Frame the issue appropriately. Don't give Kevin O'Leary airspace to propagandize.

This is what it looks like when you just don't get it. The damage of normalizing has already been done. Later, when CBC apologizes for this and "defund the CBC" campaigners use this as ammunition, remember that they could have cancelled it in the face of the uproar. Vimy, not Vichy 🇨🇦.
