Dr. Jen Gunter has a warning for Canadians who don't want to descend into fascism:
"The National Post sounded a right-wing dog whistle about abortion, and you need to pay attention. We have lived this in the United States, and trust me when I tell you, this is how it starts."

To the tankie left in 🇨🇦. This is the reason NATO partners CHOSE to increase defence spending (not the disinformation being spread that it was “capitulation to Trump”). The betrayal by the Trump regime & its allegiance to Putin, is a direct threat to global security & stability. #CdnNatSec #cdnpoli

A thread on the MOU.
MOST IMPORTANT: Carney's move signals to the rest of Canada, and the world, that it's OK to keep building more fossil fuel projects.
Other countries will use this to justify doing the same.

Super cool that we've got a deal for a path towards a pipeline that's tied to a carbon capture project, as if that makes it okay
when carbon capture one of the most expensive and least effective options for addressing climate change, and oil companies often use it to EXTRACT MORE OIL!!!!

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
