RFK Jr and Trump are lying…
The timeline tells the truth…
📌 Tylenol didn’t hit the market until 1955
📌 Autism was first described in 1943 by Leo Kanner, an Austrian-American psychiatrist. He identified children with social withdrawal, repetitive behaviors, and difficulty communicating.

Is Mark Carney’s cabinet 'transformational'? Does anyone care?
For those of us who treat cabinet swearing-in ceremonies as melodrama, this is all a big deal. It’s like the Oscars for people with a vitamin D deficiency. But most Canadians just want their problems ...

They let fucking Levant scare them into not doing thier job. Win win for Polievre. Scrum happens: he gets asked why his dick is so big. Scrum gets canceled, and he gets out of being asked about his security check or Trumpian deportation plan.
