Ontario! Covid Boosters are coming....weeks after the current wave got underway but whatever. Here's the reply I got from the MoH today. All pharmacies I've called have absolutely no information so I'm not terribly optimistic about the "September 28th" availability. Meanwhile, remember #MasksWork.

Email, Subject Re: Nuvaxovid (Novavax) Covid booster

Hello,

COVID-19 vaccines will be available at participating pharmacies starting on Monday (September 28). Flu shots will be available at pharmacies starting the week of October 13.

A list of participating pharmacies will be posted on Monday morning: COVID-19 pharmacy vaccine locations.

Publicly-funded COVID-19 vaccine products available will include Nuvaxovid. Please check with your pharmacy to inquire about product availability.

Individuals who are having trouble locating a specific vaccine product can email this inbox (OPDPinfobox@ontario.ca) and we can assist.

Thank you,
OPDP Info Box

Nuvaxovid will be offered in Ontario. Many health units will have limited doses, and your pharmacy or primary provider can order it. This is not an endorsement of the vaccine.

Another essential read from @althiaraj.bsky.social. "The government frames this law as part of its “Canada Strong” plan — and frankly, some parts are good — but toxic with good is still bad." #GiftLink 🎁 #CdnPoli #SnakesInSuits www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

It’s legislation that Conservatives can only dream Canadians would have allowed them to table. But Liberals who spent years saying their assessments wouldn’t result in lawsuits, and that science-based decision making that considered impacts on nature, climate, Indigenous Peoples, was required — now stand by watching it dismantled by one of their own.

Now, one can believe that it takes too long to get projects done in this country and reform is needed, and still conclude that what the prime minister proposes is a radical departure from what Canadians expect.

We need third spaces and dense walkable communities. That is the thing that fascists fear most: organic, informal relationships and networks that they can't control. It's also why they are doing everything they can to lock in another generation of American car dependency

What's happening in Alberta is even more batshit than I ever thought. Danielle Smith is a dangerous psychopath, and the AB separatist movement largely exists because COVID broke far-right brains, and is led by Christo-fascist religious white nationalists, relying on dark money. 2/n

Sometimes the WAR ON WALKING results in no sidewalks at all. Sometimes they put “something” in — but does that really make things walkable for anyone except those without any other choices? The #WARonWALKING takes many forms, but it’s always about making things comfortable for vehicles, not people.

Image of a wide concrete overpass with a huge truck travelling dangerously close to a thin, uncomfortable looking concrete “sidewalk.” The text says “Don’t buy the lie that there’s a war on cars. They’ve been waging a war on walking for a century.” Tagline at the bottom says the Urban Truth Collective. #UrbanTruth #WarOnCars

Actually, privatizing Canada’s airports is a bad thing

By opening up our airports to for-profit investment, Carney is ensuring that fares will go up and service will go down

The people running these companies believe that climate change could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a fringe worry. Publicly, many executives soften their language to sound reasonable, but privately, the fear is real. No other industry poses this level of danger to civilization.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Can Cdns have a discussion about the trade-offs that come with this massive corporate tax break? What have we lost in social spending? Is this one of the reasons Carney halted the rollout of free diabetes treatment & contraceptives thru national pharmacare, which is now dead in the water? #CdnPoli

Again, in this clip when Carney mentions the FINRA example, he means AI companies self-regulating. (FINRA is private, industry-financed self-regulation...that the regulated financial firms fight back against.) Why? Because you wouldn't want to stifle innovation & "legislation takes time." #CdnPoli

Don't give up hope, especially with all the information being leaked over the past 48h. I think it was a major miscalculation by many people & organizations to assume who rides a bike, and why. The negative economic impacts that make it look like a bad business decision is hitting where it matters

Also, complete failure that any government functions are still on X. Complete cowardice that they couldn't make a decision to bail on the infinite CSAM/NCII generator owned by the largest Trump donor, a guy who also thinks Canada is not a real country.
