Premier Smith claims that no academics studied carbon price effectiveness and indirect impacts on the economy. I found two papers after a few minutes of googling that answer her question, which I entered into the record. Kent Fellows Dr Jennifer Winter

There’s a tiny, innocent-looking rodent called the grasshopper mouse who kills highly venomous arthropods like scorpions and forcipules and it howls at the moon to claim its territory.

Going to amplify this for all my MD colleagues out there.

Some good moves in healthcare in #Budget2024 .

And while many MDs make a good living, for those incorporated MDs who don't (looking at family physicians in particular) there's some pretty bad news in this years budget…

Mike Crawley iGaming Ontario Gambling addiction has one of the highest suicide rates.

Considering the harm casinos are causing and the staggering revenues they should be forced to fund access for addiction treatment.

And for crying out loud, stop the constant ads on radio and TV!!

This seems potentially big. This vaccine strategy uses a mutated virus that can't make the protein that normally suppresses small interfering RNAs produced even by babies & those with immunosuppression. Could be variant-proof and apply to multiple viruses.

It is unsurprising individuals living with a chronic SARS-Cov-2 infection are contemplating suicide. After all, nobody is willing to draw clear parallels in the middle of a pandemic, allowing elementary children to reactivate Tuberculosis and die the death of an AIDS patient.

7 years ago, I wrote a small piece about a man who was falsely accused of a crime.

A few days later, I got an anonymous telling me to look up the woman they called “the evilest white woman on earth.”

What happened next is the absolute wildest story you’ll ever hear

Next time a climate doomer says we can't get off fossil fuels, tell them California recently experienced 25 out of 32 days and counting of 100% clean electricity.

David R Tomlinson 🇺🇦💙 Cindy Wilinski The problem with mechanical ventilation is that when it fails, it can be *really bad*, can be much worse than a naturally ventilated room. And you don't know it's failed unless there is an indicator visible and functioning.

It ain't never mattered how gentle the protest

Forsythia in bloom means it’s time to plant peas

Dandelions in bloom means it’s time to plant potatoes

These are reliable indicators of changing conditions because they’re equipped with extremely delicate sensors honed by millennia of evolutionary pressure

Said it a thousand times but: there was no chance that deciding Covid didn’t matter wouldn’t also cause a slide in infection control in general. We *know* what we’re doing is wrong, and I it undermines the idea that we shouldn’t do wrong things.

I, like many Canadians don't even have a family doctor.

I think it's very cruel that the Liberals want to make disabled Canadians have to jump through hoops and go to the doctor to try to get a disability tax credit just to qualify for a paltry maximum benefit of $200/month.
