I have been saying this for ages! Misinformation robs people of autonomy. When applied to women’s health it means it is inherently misogynistic!

Timothy Caulfield@caulfieldtim.bsky.social · yesterday

Hear, hear‼️ Health misinformation erodes autonomy‼️ Vaccine mis- and disinformation isn’t just a threat to public health, but also to our autonomy theconversation.com/vaccine-mis-... "If we value autonomy for what it really means ... we must take action to address mis- and disinformation."

Deep sea mining threatens the entire ocean. Not just the incredible ecosystems that thrive in the deep, but the animals that live in the open ocean, whales, turtles, salmon and the entire food web they rely on. Everything. It is horrifying to think the US wants to go ahead with deep sea mining.

"The separatist movement is a bit like Mr. Kenney’s big blue truck: a powerful machine, but he didn’t know how to handle it." Been waiting for someone to say this the way @daniparadis.bsky.social just did. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: Jason Kenney is trying to stop the separatists. But he deserves some blame for their rise in the first place

As premier, he gave vent to some of the grievances that now animate the movement

“Alberta should stop claiming this policy mirrors Germany, Switzerland, Japan, or South Korea. It does not. Alberta is not following an established international model. It is conducting a policy experiment with well-documented harms and unproven benefits.” edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Opinion: Alberta's preventive health testing isn't like Japan or Europe: It's a risky experiment

Alberta is introducing a fundamentally different approach from the systems it invokes.

People won't be able to pay their rent, buy groceries, or pick up prescriptions because of the ineptness of this government. The AISH to ADAP transition is cruel, and this is just another example of this government's ineptness and incompetence.

‘No one should pay out of pocket to see a family doctor,’ she guaranteed. Albertans were suckered.

So much upsetting about the Fauci attacks. But it also demonstrates the COMPLETE absorption & normalization of hardcore lies and conspiracy theories by the political right (alas, same here in Alberta). Reality irrelevant. Rage & grievance dominate.

Good question: “Canadians who care about the robustness of the publicly funded health insurance system should be taking the bull by the horns and asking: What are the limits of medicare? Because, ultimately, that’s the gauntlet being thrown down by Ms. Smith.”

I had another thought: Instead of paying for the separatists court cases we could fund public healthcare Keep it going #ableg #abpoli #Alberta

True Oak@trueoak.bsky.social · last wk.

I had another thought: Instead of funding an unnecessary, inflammatory, & racist referendum that needs to be hand counted because of tin foil hat conspiracies about vote tabulators, we fund public healthcare & education (it’s obviously needed). Keep it going.

Take a look at this EIP (admitted pts in ED) data for the MIS ED before and after opening up their brand new ED! This is perfect constipation illustration: building a bigger rectum doesn't help fix constipation (and yes the ED has become the bunged-up rectum of our HC system) 1/2

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

“…more than ironic that the province has severely limited deployment of solar panels, alleging (mostly incorrectly) that they take farmland out of production, & yet it is more than willing to give up 1000s of acres of land for these industrial facilities.” substack.com/@dougfirby/n...

As a life-long cyclist, including as a year-round commuter, what I have noticed since the advent of protected bike lanes is the increasing number of people, including many couples, in their 50s,60s, and 70s riding bikes that I never saw before.

Cailynn Klingbeil@cailynn.bsky.social · 2w ago

I wrote about bike lanes for @theglobeandmail.com #yycbike #yegbike www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

Oh, Alberta. “Yet with traffic deaths climbing in both cities, the province didn’t build a portal for people to report dangerous intersections or reckless driving. It built one for bike lanes.” www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/896db2c...

Alberta’s bike lanes aren’t a problem to be solved – they’re how people get around
