Rolled out today with zero prior announcement. Even if you got immunized today you wouldn't be protected until AFTER Thanksgiving. COVID, of course, is out of control since school started. This is just criminal incompetence by Public Health. They're not following the science at all.

❌ AI generated slop menus with pictures that make your food look like worms ✅ scribbles on a piece of paper saying how much the soup cost
4 panel comic:
Panel 1:
A chef with a wooden spoon talks to a brown dog (bruno). He says “I have a new business!” Bruno answers “cool!”
Panel 2: he shows his menu. He says “this is my menu”. We can’t quite read what it says yet
Panel 3: a zoom in on the menu. It has just a few lines written on it. Soup: 1. Bread: 1. Soup + Bread: 2. He kept it very simple!
Panel 4: He shows Bruno a small pencil. He says “I designed it with this”. Bruno approves and goes “nice!”

If we had a federal government that wasn't firmly up the ass of Big AI, they'd make it a crime for an AI to put people in mortal danger by sending them into wilderness areas with fictional instructions. If a human kept doing this, they'd probably go to jail, even under existing laws.

If this area of land had the density of Barrington or Spring Garden that'd be like an whole extra annual city budget's worth of revenue which would result in a HUGE drop in the tax rate. But, we'd rather pay for parking as long as it's disguised as property taxes

The Israeli bombardment of Gaza is intensifying violently. I do not know who made the world believe there is a ceasefire in Gaza; every day we are slaughtered and killed with new bombs and new explosives, as if we are a testing ground for America and Israel. All I ask of you is not to forget Gaza.

An August 2026 FAQ document from Nova Scotia Public Health is a bit disingenuous. Provinces can purchase Nuvaxovid (formerly Novavax), and some provinces have already committed to making it available. You can contact the NS Health Minister using this template: stillcoviding.ca/en/take-acti...
A screenshot from a Nova Scotia Health document reads: "Is the Novavax Covid-19 vaccine available? The Novavax Covid-19 vaccine was not distributed within Canada to be used by the provinces and territories this season. Any further questions should be directed to the federal government."

Yes!! I think this is part of a sinister goal, which is to paint EVs as luxury purchases. As long as embracing green tech is seen as something that only the elites do, it’s easier to push through environmentally-regressive policies— the detractors are just out of touch with regular folk.

If you want the right to an Assisted Death, help figure out a way to ensure the disabled have a right to life. Help us fix the broken systems that would rather euthanize us than help us. Help us survive.

I don’t support the killing of disabled and marginalized people deemed “too expensive” or “too useless” to care for. I don’t support a system that weaponizes Assisted Death against the most vulnerable. I’ve never wanted to take the choice from anyone, but it must be a choice.

The worst part of the Assisted Dying debate is people assuming it’s black and white. They think if you oppose the policy, you oppose giving people the choice. I support the right to die. What I don’t support is offering it to disabled people instead of medical treatment.

This, & many of the replies & quotes with other stories, is why we mustn't introduce assisted dying until health & social care is greatly improved. People say it's conspiracy territory that disabled/ill/old people might be offered it rather than more complicated or expensive interventions, & yet...
