I was going to do quite a lot in the garden, and did some stuff earlier, but smelt smoke and the sky is grey, not with clouds. Checked the Enviroment Canada site & it gives the nearest location to me as a 10+ for smoke hazard, as severe as it gets. So taking it easy next to an air filter thingy.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Rep. Mike Levin: I had the opportunity to have a hearing with the head of the Army Corps of Engineers. They were the ones who let two billion gallons of water flow down to a dry lake bed, where much of it simply evaporated. It never made its way to LA…

Since the USA has no large deposits of bauxite from which aluminium is produced, they import almost all ore used in primary production of that metal, while Canada has plenty of bauxite & uses cheap nearby hydro & so costs are lower. US cannot simply replace imports with domestic aluminium production

Time for Canada to produce drones in large quantities - the future of warfare. Immediately go to the Grippen rather than the Us F-35, but also train for drone war. Much less costly

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Canada should cancel all military aircraft purchases from the US especially the F35 - the Gripen would be a better buy for us; - the Gripen's top speed is 2,46km/hr; the F35's top speed is 1,930km/hr. The Gripen has a 3,200km ferry range, the F35 has a 2,220km ferry range, which is 1,000km shorter
