Giving ministers the power to exempt pet projects from any law on the books except for the Criminal Code isn’t nation-building. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
The fact that they‘re trying to sneak this through without any explanation is particularly incriminating.

Althia Raj: Mark Carney is quietly giving sweeping new powers to his ministers

Reminders, as public health officials warn of a very bad flu season:
🧵
* Washing hands is not a strategy for a respiratory virus. N95s, ventilation, air filtration -- especially in hospitals.
* We should have been cleaning indoor air with the same effort we put into cleaning drinking water.

We could have eliminated Hepatitis B infection in the US…
…instead we are going to let newborn babies risk 90% chance of chronic infection that cause liver failure and cancer so that a few incredibly stupid adults - who are all vaccinated btw - can force their selfish science denial on other people

This is an excellent read. The more you know. #Science 🧪
“… we were advancing toward elimination of hepatitis B in the United States,” says Ward “I am deeply concerned that if the ACIP rescinds this policy, they’re going to contribute to the spread of hepatitis B rather than its elimination.”

Of babies infected w/Hepatitis B, 90% develop chronic infection.
Of those, 1 in 4 will DIE.
They lose the ability to get rid of toxins & make important proteins. Their skin yellows, their abdomen swells, they’re uncomfortable. A fate no one deserves.
