You should check out Kristen nagle. Former NICU nurse who hosts conferences on “free birthing” where Billie Harrigan presents. She now “sells gold” in an mlm scheme & just moved to Nicaragua. Pushes German new medicine, her child’s fever is just “separation anxiety”

My 80 yr old mom loves my tattoo (fireweed) and my 85 yr old dad wants me to make him a “gaza” tshirt. They text me when one of my “nice people take drugs” tshirts is on the news. Wait, I think my parents are cooler than I thought….

Canadian Press reporter Darryl Greer reveals the coroner did their investigation remotely in the case of Van Chung Pham, whose room contained the remains of a vulnerable youth and woman that were not found for months after police attended Pham's death. vancouversun.com/news/two-bod...
Two bodies were missed at B.C. death scene. Was treatment of coroners to blame?
What police did not notice at the time were the bodies of missing Indigenous teenager Noelle O'Soup and a woman called Elma Enan

Sadly the CBC titled and referenced “airborne fentanyl” rather than “second hand smoke”. I definitely used to get crack smoke headaches working in a downtown unit but never got “high” as a title of “airborne crack” would imply…

Yes. But that doesn’t mean all folks in the army are white men. Just sharing my observations of a military unit in vancouver. There was racism present but the army members are evolving.

I dated a reserve military guy not long ago. He was Chinese Malaysian. Outgoing commander south Asian Kenyan. And 80% of reservists in the unit were south Asian (strong military service background) and Asian. The white guys were the old retiring ones.

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social should do a story on the BC govt cutting all services to people w/ long covid. There is no longer any clinic, doctor, or service that can meet the needs of 1000s of people. As a nurse I sacrificed my health to serve people during the pandemic & I’ve been left in the dust

I often wonder if undiagnosed gut issues in childhood contributed to low mood, depression, & anorexia. I didn’t start sorting out my gut until my 30’s. & continue to learn how gut dysfunction is strongly associated with long covid (which I also have). No wonder I’m interested in guts & sanitation!

The only doctor seeing Long COVID patients in BC has 4500 patients. No specialized care or appointments. Not even prescribed meds were covered for me & I’m a nurse with a good health plan. Talk about neglected!!!! I literally have to “do my own research”.

This 1987 video on Alberta’s opposed to seat belts demonstrates the “alberta mentality”. If the govt says you should do it, people are automatically opposed. Despite evidence and common sense.

From the archives: 1987 seatbelt law divides Albertans
It's been 29 years since Alberta introduced its mandatory seatbelt law amid protest from many drivers who felt the province was too heavily dictation how they drive.
