Soooo...this investigation will be interesting. At first blush, I'm perplexed as to how you hit a cargo ship. They're kinda big. And obvious. ca.news.yahoo.com/pleasure-boa...

I have friends and family who are old enough to remember how bad things actually were before the current schedule of childhood vaccinations. It breaks my heart that we seem to need to relearn this bc it means death, disability, and grief that could otherwise have been prevented. #VaccinesSaveLives

Health Canada has provided conditional approval to #lecanemab (brand name: Leqembi). This is a big deal, as it marks the first-ever disease-modifying treatment approved for use in Canada for #AlzheimersDisease. It's also important to understand the whole picture:

I ate cold leftover pierogis and beans today because I could not muster the energy to microwave them. I should really know by now that getting covid boosted = one day out of commission and plan accordingly 🙈. (Still better than getting covid).

Fun times on a Friday night: my hairdryer broke, so we took it apart, figured out what melted (literally), cut the wires down, stripped a new section, popped on a new marrette, then managed to put it back together again. And! It works! (And no one was electrocuted). #RightToRepair

I don't understand. This could ⬇️ capacity in #LongTermCare when ppl are already waiting over 9 mo to be admitted AND when ~half of alternate level of care days are due to ppl living w #dementia being stuck in hospital bc there's nowhere to discharge them to. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/09/24/l...
Long-term care operators hit hard by provincial funding stop
"We rely on overtime and agency staffing to fill the gap," said Mary Polak, CEO of BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA).

Spent the morning with the Byrne Creek Streamkeepers and Green Teams of Canada today pulling out metres and metres of English ivy at Byrne Creek. Very satisfying! We filled over two large bins' worth of invasives.

Good convo today at the @bccareproviders.bsky.social Care to Chat with the BC Minister of Health. I appreciated the recognition of the importance of community-based care. If we're going to provide best-in-class #HealthCare for older adults, we have to move away from an acute care-dominated model.

Parliament is going to return soon and one of the first bills it is going to pass is Bill C2, which will give the police unprecedented powers over the lives of Canadians, including massive surveillance, and the ability to share our data with 🇺🇸.

Good for them. We were in Tofino recently and you wouldn't believe the garbage we pulled off the beach - all likely brought in on the tide. Rope, fishing gear, bottles, styrofoam, bits of unidentifiable hard plastic - it was both satisfying to clear and saddening that it was there.

Tofino has long battled plastic waste, but with a new ban on sales of single use plastic bottles, has taken its fight into new territory.

Whelp, the home team didn't take the Mann Cup home last night, but Queen's Park in #NewWest was a rockin' place and it was a spirited game. Congrats to the Six Nations Chiefs, and kudos to the Salmonbellies for playing the season out to the very end. Next year!

I was living abroad on 9-11. I remember being told "you must see the news". I felt sick and horrified as I took it in. In the aftermath, I struggled with the fear and divisiveness that seized the community. Hate is an ugly seed that yields poisonous fruit. It's never the way. Love and compassion is.

Great discussion today on the Early Edition with the fantastic Rick Hansen on how our understanding of accessibility has evolved. For ppl living with invisible disabilities like #dementia, expanding how we approach universal design is key to more inclusive communities. @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social
