Good. I wish more reporters interrupt politicians who refused to answer ?s & try & throw out red herrings, canned irrelevant talking points or whataboutisms

So many access reporters just shamelessly enable pols to abuse their audience & themselves

Republican nazi Donald Trump chooses the term 88% on his Nazi hate speech & disinformation on Somalians as a shout out to his Nazi Maga base.

88 is shorthand for Heil Hitler

Trump regime claims they are tough on crime?

if they were, they would prosecute Trump’s personal lawyer Alina hubba for serving unlawfully as the U.S. attorney in New Jersey

I hope Dems ask other Republicans. Will they call for prosecution?

Or are Trump cronies crooks above the law?

Here is where the tragedy deepens. If Canada insists on depending on hydrocarbons for part of its economic base, then the smart, forward-looking choice is not to export raw molecules.

It is to transform them into advanced materials.

The Alberta Opportunity We Are Ignoring Here is where the tragedy deepens. If Canada insists on depending on hydrocarbons for part of its economic base, then the smart, forward-looking choice is not to export raw molecules. It is to transform them into advanced materials. For Alberta, bitumen is not simply a fuel feedstock. It is a treasure trove of long-chain hydrocarbons ideal for high-value industrial applications. In molecular terms, Alberta is sitting on one of the richest advanced-materials opportunities in the world. Every barrel of bitumen contains the building blocks for: high-strength carbon fibre composite materials binder for next-generation asphalt industrial polymers structural materials for EVs, aerospace, and construction inputs for additive manufacturing carbon-rich precursors for advanced battery technologies This is where the real economic future lies: transforming bitumen into high-value carbon products, not combusting it as cheap fuel. And the research is not hypothetical. Alberta Innovates, the University of Alberta, Canmet Labs, and private firms have all demonstrated pathways to convert bitumen into carbon fibre and carbon-rich industrial materials. The challenge is not scientific feasibility; it is the absence of political imagination and strategic coordination. An Alberta-based advanced-materials industry could: create tens of thousands of jobs build domestic supply chains anchor a globally competitive industrial cluster accelerate Canada’s transition into a value-added innovation economy expand export markets beyond energy commodities shift Alberta’s economy toward higher-margin sectors This is the kind of strategic reinvention that defines successful transitions. It is how economies jump from resource extraction to knowledge production. It is how regions move from low-value exports to high-value manufacturing. But advanced materials were not mentioned once in the MOU. Raw bitumen exports compete with advanced materials for capita…

In this restricted popu- lation the ADHD prevalence became larger, both among Covid-19-P and Covid-19-N patients (28.14% vs. 18.85%, p<.001), with increasing odds of the ADHD subiects to be infected with Covid-19 [adjusted OR 1.92 (95% CI 1.46- 2.53, p <.001)]. After an adjustment for possible confounders, the association between ADHD treatment and the risk of infection with Covid-19 became more prominent for untreated ADHD versus treated ADHD [adjusted OR 1.68 (95% Cl 1.37-2.10, p < .001 vs. adjusted OR 0.85 (95% CI 0.54-1.34, p= 707), respectively] (Table 4, Figure 1).

Heartless corporatist #bcndp government’s war on the most vulnerable people in society seniors in long-term care homes

“COVID-era money for B.C. long-term care aides runs out”

#LTCH residents miss medications, showers, eating meals alone, b/c lack of $ for staff

archive.is/n3kca #bcpoli
missing showers, eating meals alone and reporting missed medications after the province ended pandemic-era pay supplements to cover overtime and contract workers. Operators warn that, without intervention, hundreds of beds could close over the next year, leaving seniors stuck in hospitals or unsafe situations at home as wait lists for care homes balloon. “We’ve been relying on funding which is now being taken away on the expectation that we’re in the same situation we were prepandemic – and we’re not,” said Rob Gillis, the chief executive officer of Haro Park Centre, which provides long-term care, assisted living and independent housing in Vancouver. The province introduced temporary funding during the pandemic to help publicly subsidized long-term care and assisted living facilities cover overtime and agency staffing. That support ended on Oct. 31. A separate funding stream to support visits to care homes with COVID-19 testing and enhanced cleaning ended April 30. And another to level wages for workers across public, private and nonprofit sectors is set to expire at year-end. Overtime continues to be funded at government owned and operated facilities.
