For those of you in Public Health and Infectious Disease communities who are offended by this, let's turn that around:
If bad engineering led to a plane falling out of the sky or a bridge collapsing or the electrocution of kids in a daycare, I'd call that out, too.
Address failure. Directly.

You had one job.
Just maintain the #measles status that your predecessors had established.
But you couldn't even do that.
This is what failure looks like.
It's time Public Health & the Infectious Disease communities to grow up and accept that they need help from experts outside their community.

We have to trust our PM Mark Carney!
Federal Budget's Electrification Plan is a Winner
My first quick read Monday was negative. Further reading and some interviews convinced me I was wrong.
The Climate Competitiveness Strategy is really good.

A methane (natural gas) pipeline is bad enough. The economics don't work. But an oil pipeline is worse. There will be ZERO demand for oil exports by the time a new port on Hudson Bay is built (involving massive public $$$). Let's not even mention the impossibility of cleaning up oil spills up there.
