There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason.

GOOD NEWS! For the FIRST time ever, researchers have developed a targeted combination therapy that has successfully AND completely ELIMINATED KRAS-driven pancreatic tumors in experimental models. Tumors regressed COMPLETELY with NO recurrence OR major side effects. Let’s talk about that!

@drjengunter.bsky.social Does the Ontario medical community have any data on the respiratory infection currently going around in the province? Presents with a nasty cough that becomes flu-like muscle pain and copious nasal produce? Last about 2 days flat in bed. What is it? Not Covid by testing.

Someone tell JD Vance that no one ever asked people to apologize for being white. They asked white people to shut up for a minute so BIPoC could speak for a change. Oh, and they did ask white people for reparations for slavery, and for #LandBack

I do believe the ONLibs and ONNdp are going to have to drop their egos and join forces to finally get Ford out.
They can then do whatever they feel is best for their constituents at a later date.

Thoughts are with the people in Sumas, the Hope Princeton highway area, and the Fraser Valley tonight.
The flood sirens are going off and the alerts and orders are there in certain areas.
Be safe everyone.
