It looks like Western has five lots of these. There are 4,400 masks per lot, so 22,000 N95s that they apparently don't need.

Can you pls find a way to make these available to students? We’re in the era of frequent illness now and Western parent FB groups are FULL of reports of student sickness.
Many of the viruses we know are airborne & can be stopped in their tracks with these:

I spend all this time trying to figure out what the master plan is, and it always hits me: nothing. Just conspiracy brain worms all the way down. And the most smug self-righteousness as Kennedy and cronies destroy over a century of concerted scientific effort and hard work.

A country is not a business, nor should it be run like one. Public services shouldn’t be expected to turn a profit.
Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?
How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.
"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.
