I am less concerned about an MLA's cheese shop, and more concerned about Saskatchewan's rules which allow unlimited political donations from corporate donors.

But sure, let's get those COI rules updated with social media use in mind. 🙄

How embarrassing for Scott Moe and Saskatchewan that there are 27 cases of scurvy in the province. This isn't the 17th century here. These health concerns need to be addressed in Northern Saskatchewan. Hello Scott, anyone home.🔊

Just finished a shift at Grace Emergency. We have 52 active patients in a department that was built for 30, every hallway jammed with stretchers to make more room and an additional 40 patients in the waiting room. This is a catastrophe.

SK Party does zero harm reduction in prov. "The repercussions...higher HIV rates, higher syphilis rates, higher Hep C rates". Are they aiming to destroy the healthcare system with goal to privatize? Or, do they just not care? Good question for Cockrill.

Furthermore, what are the options here?

A - they have a plan for health care reforms they just didn’t feel the urge to share it during the campaign

Or

B - they don’t have a plan

Not sure which is worse tbh.

Remember when Rick Mercer petitioned to have Stockwell Day’s name changed to ‘Doris’?
Well, with
a nod to Ms Dowd in the @nytimes, can we get something going to change Mr. Musk’s first name to Elonia, so he can really be the First Lady?

The current head of US Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra is well advised to start mobilizing against H5N1 *now* before incoming RFK Jr hobbles the nation's ability to curtail a potential deadly pandemic.

And Canada... let's push that vaccine production/purchase button.

I don't want to sound alarmist or anything, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to skip FBI background checks and bury congressional ethics reports about nominees to the most important posts in the federal government.

Here's my segment from CBC News Network yesterday (about RFK Jr). I couldn't find an official archive of the segment, so was recorded on my computer at my end of the interview, so the production introduction is audible, and the interviewer is not visible.

The problem is that when you design solely around driving you make a city that is unusable without a car, and pretty poor with one. When you prioritize the alternatives to driving everything, including driving, becomes better.

Quote-tweets, for example, contribute to so much abusive behaviour and enable a culture where people spend all day mobbing and harassing random individuals

This stuff is literally what Marshall McLuhan was talking about when he said the "medium is the message"
For the newbies, one of the great features on here is that when someone has tried to quote-post dunk on you, hit the … and select “detach quote” and nobody will see the post or who wrote it and they will look like an asshole. (Blocking works like this too.)
