No. Uh uh. No way. He only lived in Canada until he was 4. ALL of the screwed up Tea Party MAGA hate is a result of growing up in deep red Texas. Not our fault and no returns allowed.

Left wing extremism is a lot lower than right but still exists. This study of domestic extremism from 2015-2019 showed 7 events out of 85 (8.2%) to be from the left. I suggest we’d be more effective pushing back on right wing extremism by pushing back on it all.

It’s important to adjust your beliefs to provable data instead of adjusting data to fit your belief. Right wing extremism has been more prevalent and more destructive as this chart from a Washington Post article shows. But there is left wing extremism and we need to be able to denounce it as well.

In politics, Ken Dryden served as MP from 2004-2011. As Minister for Social Development negotiated a federal child care program with all 10 provinces. Unfortunately that program was cancelled by the Steven Harper Conservatives in 2006 and only became a reality in 2021 under the Trudeau Liberals.

He stood larger than life leaning on his goalie stick. I grew up in Toronto but my dad was a Habs fan from Kingston. We happily watched both teams but the talent in the 1970s rested in Montreal where Ken Dryden dominated in net for the Habs leading to 6 Stanley Cups in the decade.

6/ Unfortunately, ibuprofen/naproxen have PROVEN link with birth defects. 2nd consider not taking any? Untreated fever/pain can also increase the risk of birth defects. So the best approach is for a pregnant woman to consult with her own doctor. And let scientists continue the work.

5/ In the question of acetaminophen causing autism, the data is inconclusive. There are published studies showing an association and published studies showing none. So what do we do? 1st look at alternatives..

4/ The next level is more thorough with a “Literature Review” of lower tier studies, or an Observational study, and then the top tier are “Randomized Control Trials”, or a Meta Analysis across all mid-tier studies.

3/ So what does the science say? It’s important to know the different types of studies involved as not all studies hold the same weight. Initial studies are usually based on small base sizes, animal studies or individual reported cases.
