Canada is creating a task force to monitor the safety of U.S. food imports after RFK Jr. cut 3,500 FDA staff. Weaker U.S. standards require increased monitoring and diligence for Canada, generating trade barriers and consumer distrust, resulting in economic damage for U.S. producers and farmers.

The ‘U.S. Risk Task Team’ will keep an eye on the impact of regulatory changes on food imports

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.

It’s just sad that, at a time when Canadians are open to cooperation and have come together to stand up to the US through grassroots boycotts, when national unity is more important than ever, the Liberals chose to play chicken with the budget rather than even try to reach out to the other parties.

If US ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra keeps behaving as he has, the Canadian government will surely have to call him in for a formal rebuke. And if we don't, it will be a choice of discretion over valour, a sign that we have been cowed.

🧪Farm workers in California are falling sick with H5N1 symptoms. RFK Jr. has ordered to not test or report cases, to keep it under wraps.

Shady actions like this, to keep the public in the dark is why NEJM & CIDRAP are launching weekly public health alerts, free for the public.

That’s the end of the courageous political takes from Teen Vogue. It has been such a beacon for many so this is fairly tragic. Looks like they fired ALL the political staffers and removed the politics beat.

Who leaned on Condé Nast? Or what happened?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
