Three hundred collisions across the GTA on a major snow day seems like a lot!
… Then why doesn’t the news report that statistically there are over 130 collisions EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, just within the City of Toronto?

Friendly remind the exception does not prove the rule when it comes to science. In fact, it very much does the opposite
Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions

But then I remember that humpback whales were considered so endangered that an entire Star Trek movie was made about them in the 80s.
Now, because of the work of thousands, humpbacks are now a classified as a ‘species of least concern’.

I can't believe this was legal to begin with. Trapping people with debt is the kind of thing human traffickers do

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.
Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Scientists develop first ‘accurate blood test’ to detect chronic fatigue syndrome
Research could offer hope for ME patients – but some experts urge caution and say more studies needed
Scientists say they have developed the world’s first blood test to diagnose myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
