Canada loses its official ‘measles-free’ status – and the US will follow soon, as vaccination rates fall
Decreased vaccination rates have led to measles outbreaks in Canada and other countries.

There is an amazing book on misinformation, “Killer Underwear Invasion.” It is incredible how much of an impact it’s made on my kids.
Just a few days ago my kid saw something on TV and said proudly, “that’s man is like the puppy pinchers!”

After 13 years in the US, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave. Having packed up everything and rethought about priorities, rather painstakingly, while I’m sad to leave the life I’ve made here, I’m also relieved that I won’t have to plan my life around immigration policies anymore.

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
