K12 probiotic (link) may be worth trying. Plus an Italian K12 school study in which 0 of the kids got COVID. Another study showed a 95% in strep infections.

Various supplements have good antiviral evidence, e.g. ginkgo biloba

DIY with boiled saline (boil, cool a bit, dissolve iota carrageenan) is less than a cent/bottle. Iota carrageenan is about $15/4 ounces (113g) on Amazon or health food stores. At 24 mg/20 ml bottle that equals 4708 bottles … pretty darn cheap 👍 Iota carrageenan is widely available.

Canadian labour has won for all workers: minimum wages, overtime pay, workplace safety standards, maternity and parental leave, vacation pay, and protection from discrimination and harassment. Buddy will not be the first to give up their vacation pay, overtime, etc.

Your claim, you support it. I’ve provided multiple sources … the burden of proof regarding the truthfulness of a claim lies with the one who makes the claim; if this burden is not met, then the claim is unfounded, and its opponents need not argue further in order to dismiss it.

Dismissed

? Where? Average = a number. Not a range. Mean, median, mode. Junior high school math. What average and where’s your evidence?

🤯it’s like explaining electricity to a chicken. You’ve provided zero evidence.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

Air Canada’s CEO says it’s not 🤣
1/3 of AC’s flight attendants have been hired in the last 5 years.
Avg is about $58k. At 3 years they make about $40k.

You sound like a great future AC FA … you’ll be rolling in $
• Half of Air Canada mainline flight attendants earned more than $54,000 in 2024, excluding incentive rewards, and health and pension benefits. The median is influenced by the fact that about one third of flights attendants have been hired in the past 5 years. At the top of the scale, which they reach within 10 years, flight attendants can make more than $70.000.

🤨 you seem to have entirely missed the provincial requirement for meeting federal healthcare standards as part of the overlapping jurisdiction.

Are you a constitutional lawyer? The author of that article is, having completed his PhD in molecular biology and law degree, simultaneously. You?

The Supreme Court is clear, health is a shared Federal & Provincial responsibility:

macleans.ca/opinion/trud...
= MACLEAN'S Subscribe Ottawa is good at setting standards. Look at the Canada Health Act-another Pierre Trudeau invention —which sets minimum national standards for health care. Without that federal law, the free health care enjoyed by every Canadian, regardless of their province, would not exist. We have national medicare only because the federal government set that standard. Why is this example important? Because it shows that in our Constitution and federal system, health is a shared legal responsibility, no more provincial than federal. But the federal government can make national rules, specifically minimum national standards for COVID-19 control that the provinces must play by. That would be a breakthrough, because Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Quebec all failed by unwisely doing less than the minimum to curb a second wave. Put a standard, legally binding "floor" under the provinces—a "backstop" of disease control which kicks in only when they fail— and Ottawa would save lives. Ottawa is good at setting standards. Look at the Canada Health Act—another Pierre Trudeau invention-which sets minimum national standards for health care. Without that federal law, the free health care enjoyed by every Canadian, regardless of their province, would not exist. We have national medicare only because the federal government set that standard. Why is this example important? Because it shows that in our Constitution and federal system, health is a shared legal responsibility, no more provincial than federal. “Health is subject to overlapping federal and provincial jurisdiction, and the provinces’ power to legislate in this field does not exclude Parliament’s authority to target conduct that constitutes a public health evil.” An evil, one supposes, like COVID-19.

Gell-Mann Amnesia … except you know it 👍
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward-reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know. - Michael Crichton [1]

BC PHSA is NOT a legal health authority. It is an independent CRA registered charity, and I don't understand how any of this is legal. NVM the very questionable laundering of government $.

Hundreds of billions of dollars in investment.

Wholesale theft of millions of pieces of art & literature.

Entire job categories thrown into chaos or in line for destruction as CEOs drink the koolaid and stake their futures on AI.

Unprecedented power usage. Environmental destruction.

For this.
