Canada may have to go back to asking for confirmation of vaccination status before letting in anyone from the US.
You might have heard the CDC's vaccine advisers bring up immigration as a disease threat. Actually, outbreaks often start when unvaccinated Americans bring back diseases. My latest:
The Racist Worldview Behind the New Vaccine Recommendations
ACIP’s recent decision to scrap hepatitis B vaccine recommendations for infants is inextricable from its advisers’ apparent belief that immigrants bring disease.

After a promising start, injury-plagued #Raptors steamrolled 34-13 in the second quarter. Bench unit can't score against swarming defence and aggressive rebounding. #Knicks shooting over 60% from the floor and in complete control.

2 starters out for #Raptors, Knicks shooting 65% from the floor, and now Scottie has 3 fouls halfway through the second quarter. Don’t like the way this is going…

Sometimes the only responsible thing to do is to pull the covers over your head and go back to sleep.

The very definition of a macho warrior - running to hide behind a subordinate once things start to heat up. Sad!
Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

With the #Pistons losing their 2nd game in a row tonight and playing a very hot #Heat team tomorrow night, and the #Raptors playing the 5-14 #Hornets, Toronto could easily be tied for 1st in the East by this time Saturday. 😁

There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater

When I was a kid we had a toboggan run at the Experimental Farm in Ottawa. Not a big hill, but you could get going pretty fast and it had the advantage of a road at the bottom which was about 4 or 5 feet feet lower than the snow so you could get airborne at the end as long as there were no cars. 😁
I’m sorry but I can’t stop laughing, yeah we would sled down hills in the winter with whatever we had on hand, toboggans, crazy carpets, tubes 😂 someone always got injured because of jumps on the hills or wipeouts #Canada

PP would be better to concentrate on coming up with constructive solutions rather than pie-in-the-sky promises he has no means of ever realizing. But he never has anything constructive to say, so he just continues with the low IQ bullshit that is his consistent brand.

#Raptors may have understandably been sleeping on Brooklyn a bit, especially with Cleveland in town tomorrow night. Rested Poeltl and it showed around the rim as they were out-rebounded by the Nets. Glad they pulled out the win but will need a stronger effort against the Cavs.

X will reinstate the location feature after they figure out how to allow all the bots to hide where they are operating from.

“Radical transparency”.
Omg this is hilarious!!

I get everyone is excited about the #Raptors. 10-5 - a great start. And a soft schedule for the next few games.

Reality check. It’s only 15 games of an 82 game schedule. And the East is very close - only 3 games separates Toronto from the 11th place Bucks at 8-7. So don’t plan the parade yet. 😊

The Raptors have played 10 of 15 games on the road & 10 of 15 vs. teams who currently own winning records, and here they are at 10-5 with top-10 marks on both ends of the court. They've caught some breaks with banged up opponents, but take nothing away from them. Very impressive

Toronto #Raptors now in 3rd place in the East with a very easy schedule for the next couple of weeks. Wish I could say I predicted it, but…. #NBA

PM Carney: "If you look at the effective tax rate on investment for Canada, it is the lowest in the G7. It is three percentage points lower than in the US —and that’s after the much-vaunted One Big Beautiful Bill. This is the country to invest in."

While the US sees a massive decline in tourism (you’re welcome), Canada has a banner summer tourism season.

“Canada’s tourism sector generated a record-breaking amount of revenue of between May and August, reaching $59 billion…”

So much winning!

The dementia patient in power took it personally that Canada accurately quoted Ronald Reagan in an ad and, as a result, he's going to make Americans pay 10% more for anything they buy from Canada.
The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

OMG two base-loaded inning-ending double plays in first 4 innings! @BlueJays are walking on the wild side so far. 😳
