Though I am not here to talk about Ukraine and the unprovoked Russian invasion, I want to repeat what I have always believed: Canada should support Ukraine unequivocally. Because they deserve our help in defending their sovereignty and those who want to erase democracies will not stop at Ukraine.

One of my favourite fairy tales is 'The Boy Who Drew Cats.' It is a Japanese tale about a boy who was compelled to draw cats everywhere. He initially got into trouble but his hobby paid off because one day the cats he drew saved him from a giant rat goblin.

NEW: In response to orders by the Trump admin, the CDC has taken down the Household Pulse Survey, one of the biggest and most important sources of Long COVID data in the world.
The US government is literally erasing the existence of Long COVID.

Abe no Seimei was a famous onmyoji, a Japanese magician and diviner for the imperial court in the Heian period. He was able to predict the gender of unborn babies, locate lost items, summon spirits, conduct exorcisms, and command oni to do his bidding.
