Masking makes sense. SARS-CoV-2 can persist, and new evidence from France shows infected megakaryocytes + platelets — meaning real blood involvement. This virus isn’t just respiratory, and protecting your air protects your blood.

Rebel News' Ezra Levant has as much as *admitted* that he is violating CRA regulations by having donations "processed" through a third party in order to hand out charitable tax receipts.

Canada is creating a task force to monitor the safety of U.S. food imports after RFK Jr. cut 3,500 FDA staff. Weaker U.S. standards require increased monitoring and diligence for Canada, generating trade barriers and consumer distrust, resulting in economic damage for U.S. producers and farmers.

They warned that farm workers in California are falling sick with H5N1 symptoms, yet orders have reportedly come from RFK Jr. himself not to test, not to report, and to keep it quiet.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
