There is currently a petition to the House of Commons asking the government to draft legislation that would make it so MP's could not lie and spread misinformation/disinformation. Sounds like a good idea to me 👍 www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #Canada #cdnpoli #misinformation
A screenshot of the petition. e-6679 (Ethical issues)

With everything happening in the US right now, how safe are scientific conferences for foreign participants in the US? I think this is something we have to discuss as a scientific community. I am hesitating to register for US meetings due to the unpredictable situation. Others who feel the same?

Elon Musk’s Vision Is Coming Into Focus—and It Looks a Lot Like Neo-Apartheid

Every Canadian blaming Trudeau for inflation should take a deep breath, Google “loblaws profits” and look at the results. It ain’t inflation. It’s extortion. Now ask - which party does Galen Weston support? Which party does he donate to? Which party will do what he wants? Vote wisely.

So, I'm just getting my feet wet here. One of the things I do (and people who know me from other pltforms know this) is I rant. I had a big rant come over me while I was washing the dishes this morning. I have written it all out and I am going to try to post it here and see how that goes.

Good definition for a term thrown around often: "Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege." — Tommy Douglas

"Starter pack" does make me think of those small packs of cigarettes with like 5 smokes in them that existed when I was a kid (in the 1920s I guess, or 1980s...).

Test positivity rate is challenging to interpret. One way to look at it is if you have serious enough flu-like symptoms to seek care in a clinical setting, how likely is your problem flu, RSV, or COVID? Current ON data suggest that there's an appreciable chance that it's COVID.

.3x.167x.217= about 1.1%, per surge, 3-4 times a year. Yet profs are told nothing about how to protect or support them. Nothing. Even if it’s “just” 1%/year, the cost—in quality of life, education, financial losses—is staggering. #unconscionable (health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/pos...) 2/2

Does the public understand that "variant" means "vaccine resistant"?
Getting boosted is critical because the virus is changing. Other forms of mitigation are critical to slow the rate of change.

it's so hard because like, obv a lot of us want to discuss ableism, COVID, and the fact that abled folks are just one small issue away from becoming disabled... but those of us with the most to say likely don't have the energy to speak on it. not anymore, at least. we're exhausted so many yrs in.

Why can you still #smell things wearing an effective #mask? You can smell some nasty things like smoke and rotten eggs even with fit tested #N95 #respirators which block tiny viruses/bacteria because the smell molecules have atomic masses that are 17 million times less than a #virus. 🧪🧵1/ #COVID
Image of a woman wearing an N95 respirator with an expression of disgust from smelling something bad. Generated using Bing Image Creator powered by DALL-E 3 using prompt, "A person wearing an N95 mask with an expression of disgust from smelling something bad"Graph using logarithmic scale showing difference in atomic mass (Daltons) of various gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide and some you can smell ranging from 32 to 131 Daltons while the COVID-19 virus is millions of times more at 602 million Daltons and the aerosol it travels in is billions of times more at 160 billion Daltons.
