🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.
This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

Can you #FindThatLizard
Last weekend, I went to Big Bear with some friends. Although it’s getting to the end of lizard season, I was hoping to get a few #FindThatLizard photos. I knew if nothing else, the western fence lizard Sceloporus occidentalis wouldn’t disappoint me.

Do I believe Trump is an authoritarian? Yes. He is competing against democratic constraints at every opportunity. Those constraints are slowing him down but once he breaks down all resistance, he will be a full-throated authoritarian leader, much like Putin.

🧵 Fact: #mRNA is a normal part of cells, it acts like an instruction manual to build proteins. mRNA covid #vaccines send cells instructions to build a specific part of the virus. This spike protein can't cause covid but will warn our immune system. mRNA and the protein break down quickly into waste.
