Can anyone recommend a Canadian domain name registrar? My website provider/registrar has disappeared, along with my website & my associated email address. I can't get the EPP code from them to do a transfer since they are now defunct. I'm in the process of trying other avenues.

One in 7 biomedical papers were likely written with AI help in 2022-24. Researchers searched for 'style words' after November 2022 as ChatGPT hit. 1.5 million papers indexed in PubMed had 200,000+ using these words unrelated to the content of the research🤨

This is what the resistance looks like.
The protesters for Ukraine are the best of our nation.
Good Canadians.
Every day, they stand peacefully outside the Russian Embassy fence which is strung with barbed wire.
Russian staff wear MAGA hats.
I stand with Ukraine. I oppose the Putin/Trump gang.

Americans, the information you lack (because the CDC just removed or revised key information on contraception and STIs) is freely available in Canada.
Knowledge is power. The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada is a reliable source.

Guys please start going to your public libraries to access stuff like paywalled news sites/subscriptions. I subscribed to The New Yorker and can read it on Libby. I know everything is paywalled these days but that's why your library is so important.

Goodbye to 2024 - it's been a frazzling year. I have a suspicion that 2025 will be much the same. Self-portrait.

Good news. "Committee will provide practical advice on next phases of pharmacare"
Won't make the front page, but great news for Pharmacare!
Many A+ champions for access to meds here, which is good news for program design. Kudos to Minister Holland.
Next steps: rapid bilateral deals b/w feds & provinces.
