It is remarkable how long it takes to build trust and how fast it can be torn to pieces
Sad to say, but information on the CDC website can no longer be trusted. The anti vaccine and anti science agenda has taken over

The anti-vax movement's wildest claim yet: Polio wasn't so bad
Add this to vaccines make you magnetic, cause AIDS, and measles is not a big deal.

Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.
What's the deal with indoor air quality?
From CO2 monitors to better building codes, Dr. Georgia Lagoudas outlines how to clean up the spaces where we spend 90% of our lives.

I work downtown, and until this week a young man was spending most nights sleeping on the steps of my office building. One of my coworkers makes a point to get to work early every day to make sure he's the one to wake up this young man and make sure he gets on his way safely for the day.

Cop talk is so ridiculous.
“✨An encounter occurred✨ and an officer discharged their firearm.”
Is the language RCMP is using to describe how they ended up fatally shooting a First Nations man this morning.

So me calling it a detox prison really wasn’t hyperbole huh
A new 20-suite detox centre in South Point Douglas, where people high on long-lasting drugs can be held for up to 72 hours, will open for alcohol-related detentions by the end of the November.
