Note that pneumonic plague is airborne to begin with - and public health leaders just spent several years manufacturing disinformation claiming the required (and effective) mitigations "don't work", to cover up the deaths from their opposition to them in COVID policy.

Canada: "New data shows spike in COVID-19, cold symptoms as flu season arrives" - COVID-19 positivity: 3.8% - Influenza positivity: 3.7% - RSV positivity: 0.2% - Among 52 laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral outbreaks, 67.31% were associated with COVID-19 - Data through Sept. 26, 2026
A screenshot of an online article from the CP24 news website, featuring their white logo on a black background at the top. The bold main headline reads, "New data shows spike in COVID-19, cold symptoms as flu season arrives." The article is written by Christl Dabu and was published on October 02, 2026.
Below the text, a photograph captures a woman with long dark hair sitting at a cafe table, coughing or sneezing into her inner elbow. She is wearing a pink blazer over a green top, sitting in front of a white laptop and a ceramic mug. The background shows a softly blurred bakery counter with shelves and bottled drinks. The caption below notes that federal government data found an increase in COVID-19, influenza, cough, and fever cases as of late September 2026.

It’s been two years since Ontario Place West Island was destroyed for a planned private spa. Hundreds of trees were cut down - here’s a snapshot of the many species who lost habitat. 🧵

This is foul. A reader reached out and told me the first google result when you search "kamloops unmarked graves discovery" is residential school denial. I did the search myself, and I found the same thing. The first non-sponsored result is the Fraser Institute's residential school denial.
Google search result for "kamloops unmarked graves discovery" has, as its first non-sponsored post, a publication from the Fraser Institute.

It reads: "No evidence of 'mass graves' or 'genocide' in residential ..."

"Feb 12, 2024 — ... Kamloops narrative are either false or highly exaggerated. No unmarked graves have been discovered at Kamloops or elsewhere-not one. As of ... Read more"Another screenshot shows the only result before the Fraser Institute result is a sponsored post from Angus Reid, affirming that the Fraser Institute result is the first non-sponsored one.Screenshot shows the intial response Google provides to the search "kamloops unmarked graves discovery"

All you can see on this first screenshot is the AI overview (barf) and the sponsored result from Angus Reid. However, as the other screenshots show, that Angus Reid result is followed by the first non-sponsored result: residential school denial from the Fraser Institute.
