Fellow Canadians... a heads up. Donald Trump just tried to make a backroom deal with Quebec, Sept 25, for aluminum. Imagine that. First they insult French speaking Canadians attempting to erase their culture, in their further attempt to paper annex us. Quebec told on him. Thanks, Quebec. 💯🇨🇦❤️

🇨🇦Dear Alberta separatists promoting the “Send Ottawa a message” slogan: Have you ever heard of these modern inventions that can be used to send messages quickly? They are called computers and phones. Cheaper and faster than referendums or even smoke signals!

Have any of these anti-immigrant folks ever met an immigrant? Or been an immigrant? Or applied for a job that they didn’t get because an immigrant got it instead? Do they think their taxes will go down once a bunch of immigrants are gone? Do they think?

Articles like these are emblematic of the institutional amnesia surrounding Covid-19. A pathogen that emerged less than seven years ago, which can cause fatigue during the acute infection and as a common long-term effect, not even mentioned. Conspicuously absent. www.nbcnews.com/health/menta...

Fatigue is one of the most common concerns reported in primary care visits, yet not much attention is given to how often adults in the U.S. are coping with it.

🇺🇸🇨🇦When Lutnick and others go on about “best deal in the world” they ignore a glaring assumption. Maybe Canada realized that the US is not the “best” country trade with, so no deal with them could possibly be “the best in the world.” Deals signed in pencil are worthless.

This is such an honest post, so sharing it here too. I'm not going to change a thing either, it's just hard. People will say removing your mask is better than losing community, but they haven't experienced years of post-viral illness
Screenshot of tweet by @verygoodchat on X. I actually see (to a degree) why people give up all their precautions. Because constantly asking people to protect you (& often being denied), and living life with next to no in person community is hard as hell.
I'm not changing a thing, but damn am I burnt tf out.

Research will take place at Edith Cowan University (ECU), Joondalup.
You may be eligible if you:
Are aged 18-65
Either have Long COVID or are healthy
Can perform muscle contractions of your ankle and
forearm while seated
Do not have other serious health issues
