I expected to read this story and find that public health was monitoring harmful substances and that asbestos was not detected downstream of these pipes but nope! Health Canada says there’s no good quality evidence that asbestos is harmful if present in drinking water.

Asbestos is banned in Canada. Why is it in our drinking water? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/29/n... @leahbortskuperman.bsky.social @nationalobserver.com

You will pay all the taxes you do now, plus you will pay out-of-pocket for your health insurance, and tuition for your kids' school. And the standard of healthcare and education will be much worse.

The negligent, outdated beliefs of medicine's management class (everywhere; from the UK inquiry here) contrasted with well-understood science from 👉1934👈. If you got sick after being told that COVID falls to the ground within 3 feet and N95/FFP2/FFP3 respirators aren't needed, 👉it was their fault.👈

Monsters. They've abolished universal newborn Hep B vaccination, in an 8-3 vote. Since 1991, that dose prevented 6M+ infections, almost 100k deaths, & millions of chronic liver disease/cancer cases.
This is class warfare via crimes against public health.

Let's be clear about this: PEOPLE WILL DIE.
It will take years, though, as chronic HepB infection manifests its impact insidiously later in life. But people will die.
Unnecessarily, as this is a vaccine with a remarkably good safety profile.

Ottawa just voted 15–10 for Lansdowne 2.0, a “revitalization” that saddles taxpayers with decades of debt so OSEG can call it partnership.
The city gets the bill, OSEG gets the benefit.
A ridiculous decision that will define Ottawa’s future for generations. Shame on council.

Everybody's talking about Dem strategy, so here's something to add to the mix.
I start with this premise: The best and most reliable indicator of whether someone will vote red or blue is the density of the place they live. More dense, more likely to be blue, & vice versa.

The Cambridge Street “woonerf” in Ottawa dates back to the 1990s (I believe). It’s designed to slow down car traffic on this residential street. It’s a shame Ottawa and other cities haven’t experimented with designs like this more over the past few decades!
