Canada and the EU are bridging an ocean to form a new, stronger relationship. Some like Poilievre claim this lessens our sovereignty. The opposite is true. It will help us remain independent, free, and prosperous at a time when our neighbour threatens us. Together, we will make this ocean shrink. 🇨🇦

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

Lichen, Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca (orange rock posy lichen). NWT, Canada. Lichen is about 2cm, left to right. #Lichen #fungi #fungifriends
Photo of an orange rock posy lichen growing on rock. The body of the lichen looks like a cream coloured leaf but in this case it’s almost completely covered by the lichen’s orange apothecia (reproductive structures). The apothecia look like a mound of tiny orange donuts.

Masks have been reinstated in NB, PEI, and NFLD health care facilities. NS Health & the IWK have been completely silent. On May 7, 2025, a memo was sent to Sr. Leadership stating universal maksing might return in response to "seasons of increased viral respiratory activity." We are in that season.
A screenshot of a Nova Scotia Health memo dated May 7, 2025:

Effective May 9, masking will no longer be required within clinical areas of Nova Scotia Health facilities. Masking requirements during clinical interactions will be based on a Point of Care Risk Assessment or if deemed required by specific programs/services. Anyone who is symptomatic must don a mask to enter a facility. Signage will continue to be posted at entrances.

Those supporting patients at the highest risk of severe outcomes of infection may choose to require masking. Signage and masks should be placed in a visible location for patients and visitors upon entry to the unit.

The Nova Scotia Health Respiratory Virus Safety Plan and Masking Guidance has been updated for spring and summer 2025 to reflect these changes.

The epidemiology of respiratory viruses in the general population and in Nova Scotia Health facilities will continue to be monitored as we move into the fall months. Further adjustments to masking will be made in response to local epidemiology, which may include a return to universal
masking during future seasons of increased viral respiratory activity.

My daughter and 5yr old have received a Covid vaccination in Ontario. In Nova Scotia - nothing…! Why isn’t the vaccine available prior to students returning to school and university? In towns and cities where the population expands due the the arrival of students this would have big major benefits.

I appreciate this response from Ed Yong on why he requests that people mask at his events. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...
You’ve been clear in saying that Covid has not gone away. You ask people to wear masks at your events. But that attitude is not necessarily where the rest of the world is. How do you think about continuing to take precautions and advising others to do so when it feels as if society has moved on? I do it for a bunch of reasons. Firstly, I have learned that I enjoy not being sick. I know that the cost of long Covid is real and substantial, and I don’t want to run that risk lightly. I also know that I have many friends and people I’m close to who are immunocompromised. So for the sake of the people around me, I also don’t want to get sick. When I do events, I wear a mask for those reasons, and because I know that every time I do a talk, while the vast majority of people in the audience have probably moved on, there are going to be other people who haven’t. I think it makes a huge difference to them to have the person at the front of the stage wear a mask. It tells them, It’s not weird. So I do it for that reason, too. In terms of holding this line at a point when a large swath of society has moved on, I have written a lot about the panic-neglect cycle.
