Look at these Centretown Drain Heroes! Help avoid flooding and chip away at the snow and ice blocking your sewer grates. It’s weirdly fun and satisfying when you do it with neighbours.

Hey Ottawa! Our dashboard shows that flu activity has continued to increase, with flu activity now being very high. Flu-related hospitalizations are also very high - higher than this time last year. Levels of COVID-19 are moderate and increasing and RSV levels are high and increasing.

#Ontario: Chief Medical Officer of Health providing update on the respiratory virus season in Ontario - news.ontario.ca/en/statement... No mention of "masks" anywhere: MASK UP!

Yes, I know I shouldn’t use Chat GPT as a supposedly convenient alternative to a search engine, but just a reminder (not least to myself) in three screengrabs that it’s total dogshit

Just in case you're wondering , this is considerably worse than what Trump did you get impeached the first time.

As we await the pipeline MOU, a reminder that Alberta has 12% of Canada’s population and • 38% of national GHG emissions • 75% of oil and gas-related GHGs • 51% of electricity-related GHGS Source: 2025 National Inventory Report 1990-2023: GHG Sources and Sinks in Canada (ECCC)

It really has been interesting the last while to see Doug Ford's outbursts. The true Ford. From "get a job" to "audit orgs that might support left wing causes". The authoritarian belligerent bully that had no staff to muzzle him in City Hall days is still there. Does Ontario see? Do they care?

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

But is anyone going to hold Doug Ford accountable for the dismantling of our system? Of course not. All healthcare blame is to be directed to the federal government, because shut up.

The content I am here for.

If, like me, you lost a loved one in the UK’s deadly second COVID wave, this WhatsApp chat will confirm that the then government has blood on its hands.

The PWHL was very clear that they would not play in a smaller arena. Some of us tried to get council to take them seriously when we voted on Lansdowne 2.0. If this bad deal costs us our women’s hockey team, it will be unforgivable. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

UPDATE: Person infected with bird flu in Washington state has H5N5. It's the first time H5N5 has been found in a human

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

This is the Surrender Caucus:

Flu season is here somewhat early. Be careful out there, masks in crowded indoor spaces are a good idea, and get your flu (and Covid) shots asap.

Yeah so several major Ukrainian cities are in a complete blackout right now. 0 generation from thermal plants and 0 idea when the power will be back. Just please don’t forget us

@pressprogress.ca needs your solidarity and support right now more than ever We’re raising money to pay our legal bills – and to be blunt, we’re going to need a lot of help If you’re able, please help us out and support our Journalism Defence Fund: pressprogress.ca/journalism-d...

9-10 November 1938 | The November Pogrom – a pogrom against the Jews throughout Nazi Germany. Hundreds were killed (or died by suicide), 30,000 men arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps, over 1,000 synagogues burnt, over 7,000 Jewish businesses destroyed or damaged.

A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: A massive wave of texts is being sent from random numbers telling Democrats and Independents to vote “No” on the Supreme Court retention questions. These messages are fake and misleading, part of a coordinated disinformation push.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP. They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown. They’re refusing. Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop. Starvation as a policy choice.

The Conservatives' budgetary demands include fiction. There are no "hidden taxes" on food. The industrial carbon price doesn't apply to agriculture. There is no "food packaging tax," and plastic regulations largely exempt food packaging. The clean fuel standard "17¢" was one scenario over time. 1/2

A scoop that I’m not happy to report: CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution. heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...

Please watch and share. Pete Hoekstra is fundamentally unfit to be ambassador. His record of race-baiting and extremist disinformation needs to be called out. MAGA is actively undermining our nation. Canada needs to send him packing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jThL...

⏰Heads up: Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, November 2! Set your clocks back one hour before bed Saturday so you wake up on time. 👉Please share!

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Call for help! Looking for a HCW who got covid in the workspace, and suffered a consequence (likely long COVID) For an interview for a piece I am working on. Anonymity guaranteed. Thanks for considering! DM2 open.

$3812. That’s what it cost our family for my wife to be on strike for the past 3 weeks. We’re lucky. We can afford it. But knowing that after all that time and money, the only thing that’s changed is she and 50K of her fellow teachers have fewer rights than they did before? It doesn’t feel great.

The US Ambassador gave a keynote address to a right-wing group that was posting memes attacking public health rules in Alberta separatist FB groups during the pandemic: pressprogress.ca/group-funded...

lol it’s once again Canadian Patient Safety Week and yet hospitals and healthcare facilities and leadership across Canada all pretend that COVID is not predominantly airborne, which causes vast harm to patients because effective protections are not in place.

If there’s another mass exodus to bluesky we can’t let them turn the culture just as shitty here too. Remember to block and not engage with trolls and Nazis❤️

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Not just another flu, COVID-19 complacency risks lives Former ABC medical reporter Sophie Scott warns that complacency about COVID has set in. Public health messaging has faded, yet large numbers are still catching COVID, being hospitalised, or dying — COVID hasn’t gone away. archive.li/NccoV

Trump’s latest target? The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of America’s last truly wild places. His administration just announced plans to open it up for oil and gas drilling, turning 1.56 million acres of pristine wilderness (home to polar bears, caribou, and migratory birds)

I broke things down further here. I'm starting to think we're wrong to even say that Trump's trade negotiations are getting "deals." They're not deals. They're the terms of other countries' economic capitulation. #giftlink Canada is lucky not to have signed! www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
