So nobody questions why Diana Fox Carney was appointed to a newly conceived, role on ocean conservation and Carney funnelling money to ocean conservation? This is what consolidation of power, supported by public funds looks like

Every work thing about A.I. is full of "it's iterative" and "but be sure to check it hasn't gone out of scope" and "but we all know that it can miss details." Just sounds like a real soggy hammer made out of jelly you want me to use.

Important. I'm not sure what will change without asking why the system has tolerated >30% of students not meeting its own outcomes year after year, decade after decade. It can turn into generations. There's a strong expectation that bureaucratic wheels turn. I'd like to see more transparency.

Greetings from the maskless public health clinic, where the official coronavirus guidance in the year of our lord 2026 is to cough into your elbow.
A poster at the Nova Scotia Health Authority's public health clinic. The title is "good hygiene stops the spread of germs" and the subtitle is "good respiratory hygiene". There is a graphic of hands being washed. The poster recommends "coughing or sneezing into a tissue or your elbow to cover your nose and mouth", throwing away the tissue, and cleaning your hands. There are instructions on how to properly wash your hands. The bottom of the poster notes that it was "updated May 28, 2020" and has the logo of the Nova Scotia Health Authority. Finally, it says: "for more information, visit novascotia.ca/coronavirus"Various posters on the wall of the public health clinic. A large one is titled "how to build global community" and has a long list of guiding principles such as "talk to strangers", "question consumption", and "notice the workings of power and privilege in your culture". There are many other, smaller posters promoting such things as HPV vaccines, privacy protection, and zero tolerance for workplace abuse. One poster, titled "positive space", says: "this is a place where we uphold human rights and provide affirming, inclusive healthcare for people of all gender identities and sexual orientations".Ben taking a photo of himself in the mirror of the public health clinic bathroom. Ben is wearing a black cap (to hide helmet hair), an N95 respirator, and a striped blue t-shirt. There is a heart-shaped, "Progress Pride" sticker on the bathroom mirror.

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."
