Just spoke with my CDC sources.
They said RFK Jr. has instructed officials in California to hide tuberculosis cases after seven people tested positive.
He’s doing the same with bird flu and other emerging infectious diseases.
Before a virus spreads, concealment spreads first.

Canada avoids government shutdowns through its parliamentary system: If a budget fails to pass, it typically triggers an election, ensuring that funding continues without interruption.
A democracy that actually works.

A tropical crop in Québec. I’ve been using this baby ginger (for peach-ginger gelato) since last year, whenever the crop comes in. I get it via my weekly Lufa Farms, from Ferme Melon Chapeau near Ottawa. This Bromont farm is closer; I don’t know why Lufa uses the other.

These Quebec farmers are trying to make ginger imports a thing of the past
While ginger is normally imported from tropical climates, a farm in Bromont, Que., has managed to grow and sell large amounts of it.

Stupidity, warned Carlo Cipolla, wields more power than any organized gang or industrial military complex and seems to be a constant force in history.
In other words, the non-stupid should never underestimate the role of stupidity in world events, writes Andrew Nikiforuk for the Weekender.

another chunk from today's post, on the cowardice on display by CBS and Paramount on their cancelling of Stephen Colbert.

![no, seriously. fuck you, CBS. fuck all the way off. start fucking off over here, and then just fuck yourself all the way over to there — and then keep on going, until you’ve fucked yourself right to the very edge of the universe.
and when you get there, eat the bowl of fuck that’s waiting for you.
CBS has canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. here’s why.
"Paramount [CBS’ parent company] has been trying to complete a merger with the company Skydance, owned by Trump pal Larry Ellison’s son, which still must be officially approved by the FCC, aka Project 2025 creepo / Tsar of Making All Media Be Nice To Trump, Brendan Carr."
Paramount has been pulling out all the stops on their Bow Down To Fascism Tour, to make sure that this deal goes through. first they bribed Donny with $16 million to settle the lawsuit he filed after 60 Minutes hurt his fee-fees.
and now, they’ve forced CBS’ hand. the Mad King has a grudge-shaped bug up his ass about the Late Show, because Colbert’s been using it to mock Donny for years. the horror.
here’s the bullshit cover story CBS is trying to foist on us: that they retired Colbert for “financial reasons.” merger? what merger? this isn’t about any merger. it’s just too hard to produce a late night show. it’s so expensive. boo hoo hoo, poor pitiful us.
oh fucking please, CBS, don’t insult our intelligence.
"The Late Show was the highest-rated late-night talk show for nine consecutive seasons as of 2025, with a steadily-growing audience, in fact, it was CBS’s only show to attract more viewers than the previous quarter. And it was nominated for another Emmy last week!"
claiming Colbert was canceled for “financial” reasons is like dragging your kids’ favorite puppy out back to the gravel pit and saying it’s for “good parenting” reasons.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i3mhliziy2r37ytl2rof5e3h/bafkreid2xf5phbjeit74c4rsl4hlurty55vixcjtbtprpzvmixenzmf6wq@jpeg)

Just like when we stayed out of the disastrous and illegal war in Iraq, so too must Canada stay out of this new disastrous and illegal war in Iran.
Time for us to contact our MPs and let them know that we expect them to stand on the right side of history, and denounce this latest madness.

Trump's bombing of Iran serves no larger political or security purpose.
He just didn't want to look like a loser as he was goaded by the war criminal Netanyahu.
Canada must separate ourselves from the reckless violence of the gangster regime in Washington.
