“This is an avoidable public health crisis if we address it now,” says Aaron Goodarzi, who was part of the U Calgary and Evict Radon National Study team who collected the data. Bungalows and newer houses built in the 21st century had the highest exceedance rates across the country.

“It’s shocking how many people are affected by it—how many people are dying of it,” said Pam Warkentin, CARST executive director. “It’s not killing people quickly and so it’s not receiving the same attention on our politicians’ priority list.”

The threat could be neutralized with simple and affordable technology. A patchwork of building codes across the country and limited financial support from provincial and federal governments have largely failed to address the mounting problem. Read here: thestar.com/news/investiga…

BC's Conservation Lands Program just recieved a scathing report from the Auditor General. "The ministry had not effectively managed the [program] to conserve important habitat." often leaving NGOs to do the heavy lifting. The Land Conservancy Land Trust BC WWF-Canada bcauditor.com/pubs/2021/mana…

So apparently the carcass of this forest god is worth $30,000, which makes as much sense as valuing your children by their weight as hamburger mince

I tested positive for delta a few weeks ago, 1.5 mos. after full vaccination. Only symptom: a sore throat. Good news: All my contacts tested negative twice, incl. my unvaccinated kids and my vaccinated spouse -- suggesting vaccination cut transmission.
