Covid is a leading cause of death in canada, even in 2025, when many assume "covid is over". It causes 10x more untimely deaths than influenza.

A very telling graph.
When it comes to death rate, the U.S. FAR behind other countries in: COVID, substance misuse, cardiovascular disease, car accidents, homicide...
Should health policy be informed by conspiracy theories or THIS reality?👇

The ABC sacked our colleague because of her political opinion and to appease a lobby group, the court found. And they spent more than $1 million on ridiculous defences including the she was never sacked and there is no such thing as a Lebanese race. Time for the ABC to rethink how it treats staff.
The ABC (my employer) needs to stop defending this case against Lattouf and settle - including an apology and reinstatement. They should not have taken her off air in such a manner. Her colleagues stand with her.
Flurry of emails exchanged between Ita Buttrose and David Anderson before Antoinette Lattouf’s sacking
Federal court file indicates Buttrose, Anderson and ABC chief content officer communicated on 19 December before Lattouf was taken off air on 20 December

Evidence increasingly suggests that recent antisemitic attacks are the result of foreign interference, rather than any local pro-Palestinian movement as previously claimed.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
