Planned to hire someone to replace our bathroom fan units until I found out that motor/fan assemblies can actually be replaced & even upgraded (depending on compatibility of housing units) without having to go into the attic. I watched a utube video & it ended up being an easy swap. Who knew?!

So in a room that holds four patients, one infected gives all the others COVID — a certainty hospital staff readily acknowledge. Of those four nosocomial infections, what are the odds one patient will develop symptoms that last three months or more? Wear an n95. Open a window. Get vaccinated.

Canada: "COVID patients lumped together in Edmonton hospital" COVID outbreaks are hitting hospital wards, infecting patients admitted for other illnesses. Hospital staff warn: “If one person in that room has COVID, you know the next three are going to get it if they’re not already sick with COVID.”

The U.S. is actually accusing Canada of "election meddling" because our retaliatory tariffs target swing states. Industry Minister Joly shut that down fast: you don't get to threaten our economy and then cry foul when Canada hits back with PRECISION. That’s called deterrence. 🇨🇦

🚨🧵by @lazaruslong13.bsky.social on IAQ, especially about placement of HEPAs vs Covid infected folks: "Very interesting study. Definitely a must read. One of my main take-aways? Like an open window, you do NOT want to sit BETWEEN that Covid infected..." 8-tweet🧵 threadreaderapp.com/thread/21105...

America and American companies can never again be trusted in the entire defense supply chain for any NATO country.

In Chrysta Freeland's new book she states that Howard Lutnick threatened to invade Canada "by sundown" over Doug Ford's electricity surcharge. The fact that US trade negotiators put military threat on the table must be taken with the upmost seriousness. charlieangus.substack.com/p/they-threa...

Lutnick and his crowd cannot abide a proud democratic nation on the border.

#MuskIsPureEVIL Reports by The Wall Street Journal and other news outlets revealed that billionaire Elon Musk and Russian President Vladimir Putin have been in regular contact since late 2022 abcnews.com/US/elon-musk...

Elon Musk is in 'regular contact' with Vladimir Putin, new report alleges

Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Vladimir Putin since 2022, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

BREAKING: Russia has launched a large-scale drone attack on Ukraine tonight. Nearly 500 drones are launched and impacting Ukrainian military centers and production facilities, with extreme emphasis on central Ukraine. Air defenses are performing poorly due to Starlink restrictions. 🤬

At yet another rally, Trump proclaimed that "Canada will end up being the 51st state because that's the only way it works", adding that "they'll be doing something, just like Greenland."

Wow. We can't believe either Musk or the American Rapist King, but what is absolutely clear is the United States joined the war on the side of russia. America sided with russia to attack another country. No one will ever trust your country again. You joined up with Russia, Man. RUSSIA. WTF?

Elon Musk is saying "Tump made me do it." On this as a thousand other things, his claims are simply not credible.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Andy Burnham: I’m announcing that we’re accelerating the delivery of British-made air defenses for Ukraine.

11 of 17 Starlink antennas were set on fire at a guarded facility near Sofia, Bulgaria. Two masked individuals reportedly carried out the attack. Infrastructure supporting Ukraine is being targeted across Europe with growing frequency. At what point does “concern” become a response?

I'd love to see the bike lane removal protests turn into a full-blown general strike against the Ford government that results in his resignation. #ONpoli

lol -- Jake Tapper to Pierre Poilievre: "This is not the first time you've pitched tariff-free trade for the auto industry. You did so in March. It didn't work. You're back doing it again. Why will it be different this time?"

The world should bring Musk down faster than a SpaceX rocket crashing out of orbit.

Steve Peers@stevepeers.bsky.social · yesterday

It's legitimate for the EU, the UK, Canada and others to support their Ukrainian ally. If Musk is going to (in effect) assist Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine's allies should sanction Starlink, X and Tesla. At the very least, governments (and people) should stop using his fucking site already.

The Polish Foreign Minister responds to claims that Musk strangled Starlink access to Ukrainian forces costing Ukrainian lives.

Last night, Starlink was reportedly restricted in Ukraine due to a political decision made in Washington. Europeans should be aware that it is dangerous to depend on a partly hostile government for your security, as they could blackmail you at any time. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...
