Ontario Canada’s nursing homes have the same immunity. Negligence caused a loved one to die? Gov made it so they have blanket immunity. Elderly, poor, incarcerated, etc don’t matter to most voters in either country, it seems.

It’s a total failure by every level of public health. A smart person can go get cancer treatment and see no one at the hospital masked. There’s no more testing or reporting of Covid. Many people just don’t know. Some do and refuse to acknowledge, but most have no idea

Thank you. Equal amounts of all spices?

Good morning, Hippies!
Amazing that on October 11th, in South Eastern Ontario, there has not been a heavy enough frost to kill these rudbeckia.

The company recently announced plans to expand their factory.

In contrast, 49% of Canadians are below high school level. We’re not much better.

I do biomedical research to help people. When people come in this space making things up, it makes it harder for people not in the field to trust the extensive studies that we do and distinguish fact from fiction. Baseless claims reduce future cures. Willful ignorance drives us backwards.

Cheesecloth doesn’t result in crystal clear grape juice so the jelly won’t be clear. I rigged up a frugal cook’s jelly bag using a piece of a sheet, my big wooden spoon and an antique iron that was a door stop. Clear juice is dripping! How it started/how it’s going. Day 2 of grape jelly making.

Can we expect every Con, UCP, and fringe parties to now deny their kids food, because this is a ‘socialist program’ ?
Will they pack their kid’s food to save tax dollars like they’re always complaining about?

Carney on Canada's National School Food Program: "No child should go to school hungry or sit in a classroom all day wondering where their next meal will come from... Until today, this program was a pilot..so, we're announcing we'll move forward with the funding and legislation to make it permanent."
