To be clear, there are no data that provide a link between short-term use of Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. In fact, one of the best prospective studies w/ sibling controls, if anything, pointed to a protective effect for use less than 7 days

An important update to my last video on Bill 54.
Turns out it’s even more toxic & anti-democratic than we thought.
So bad, the Chief Electoral Officer himself is speaking out, saying it will make it next to impossible to enforce our election laws.

Laws banning abortion are one way to restrict abortions. Others are lowering funding for clinics, restricting the numbers of clinics, restricting education for children, youth, and adults, etc. Canadians need to be wary given how many Conservatives have publicly stated they are anti-abortion.
