Notorious pro-vaxxer and pro-masker. Famously unfair to pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi, and the Toronto Star. Weary of all these death threats with so little follow-through. https://www.dlsph.utoronto.ca/faculty-profile/fisman-david-n
“At this time”. I think these are weasel words ahead of a federal election in east York. Keep up the pressure

The choice to ignore COVID was airborne all along meant it spread everywhere and pretty much everyone on Earth has had it at least once, maybe 3 or more times. So 40M+ people died and easily a billion have Long COVID of some degree because women aerosol experts were dismissed by a non-expert man.

The contrast between the number of media requests I got when rich people on a cruise were facing a deadly, but contained outbreak versus now that some of the poorest people in the world are facing a deadly and devastating epidemic is just so so stark and it just really annoys the hell out of me.

The Alberta government still doesn't have a specific route or identified proponent for its much-ballyhooed pipeline to the west coast. And when it comes to the future of its oil and gas sector, that m...

Iran is going to connect its electricity grid to Qatar’s and is looking at deals with other Gulf states. Good work from Trump: he’s made a brutal, repressive regime a respected partner. Iran is now far stronger.

We don't talk nearly enough about Pat Sackville and his lobbying company. Or his role in the greenbelt grift, or how the "Integrity Commissioner" covered for him. www.corruptario.ca/fords-top-ai...
Not unusual, politicians and staffers roll over to influence peddling immediately. Being elected, or being a staffer, is just an entry level position into the real money. Ford chief of staff, Pat Sackville, owned a lobby shop at the same time, lobbying his boss. www.thestar.com/news/investi...
As a Ford government staffer, he helped get through permits for a controversial gold mine. Now he works for the company as a lobbyist

The graph tells the now very familiar story about how right wing influencers on X assemble "evidence" — often featuring a set of common election rumor tropes — to generate a false "rigged election" narrative after elections, especially when they don't like the results.
Our research team is ramping up for coming midterms. Looks like we'll be busy. If you're interested, here's an interactive graph (thanks to Stephen Prochaska) showing how X influencers re-ran the "rigged election" narrative during/following the CA primaries. faculty.washington.edu/kstarbi/Cumu...
Hope Pierre Poilievre can incorporate this into a future press conference about how Canadian cities have become hell holes
