If you are anti vaccine, do not come on my posts and spout bullshit, I have no fucks to give to those who don't care about healthcare and saving lives.
The fact that millions of children are alive today because of vaccines, just fuck right off out of my timeline.

Quelle surprise. We are talking about a person who wrote a book called How to feed the world that completely ignored climate change. Making it completely irrelevant. And it's theme was also that we can't do anything different

Government public health policy is completely irresponsible & is harming kids.

A baby in my extended family is days old, and unwell…
There is nothing I can do about it, because if it was important, the government would have told them. My advice, of course, is ludicrous.
As it is, the dirty air in daycare means the siblings will bring it all home.

And while we're at it, let's take a moment to salute Dr Jonas Salk. Not only did he develop the polio vaccine, but rather than line his own pockets by profiting from his cure, he gave it all away to help save the world's children. That's about as noble as it gets.

-89% of American CHILDREN who DIED of the flu in 2024-25 were also UNVACCINATED
Given a flu vaccine uptake rate of 49.2% in eligible kids, this means... an unvaccinated child was about 7.8 times more likely to die from influenza than was a vaccinated child.

Families pay more out of pocket. Public wait times grow. Doctors move to private clinics. The public system gets weaker.

The answer is to look to Europe and Asia for partners and contracts. Leverage our built-in advantage: the connections we have through out diverse population. The less dependent we are on the fascist deal-breakers to our south, the better off we will be.

The latest "offer" of having F35s serviced in Canada is bullshit.
Here's what will happen: as soon as we pay for the full F35 contract to buy all the planes, the Americans will pull the maintenance deal.
Just like Stellantis, free trade and countless other betrayals.

I’ll add the Conservatives oppose climate change science, want increased private healthcare and now oppose birthright citizenship (being born in Canada makes you a Canadian citizen - they want to end that). There are more policies that are part of the Conservative platform but these are a few.

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.

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.
