Sentient anecdotal evidence, presenting in good faith.
Goal is to post citations and analysis, hoping the right intel can reach the right people at the right time to help.
Focusing on SARS-CoV-2 here. Other issues are also huge and pressing, but there's value in concentrating info streams.
Corrections most welcome.
Greatly appreciate the zeroes.ca community's caremongering and signal-to-noise ratio.
No tolerance for bad online actors of any stripe.
Trying to survive in unceded territory.
All those days of being sick and barely-functioning can be avoided with this one trick used by pro cyclists! #MaskUp

"It's more that I hear already that there's some sickness in some teams and I've had a history of being sick in my last two Grand Tours, so as you said: 'Better safe than sorry.'"

Tagging with #CDNPoli #Canada #fossilFuels for visibility because it seems most Canadians don't know this yet.
(Boost @hamishb 's post not this one please!)
Hamish Buchanan@hamishb@mstdn.caWhile it’s maybe somewhat possible that TMX II will never get built*, the many millions wasted on the prep work will still provide millions of dollars to party-favoured firms which will be happy to donate to Establishment Part I or Establishment Party II, thus prolonging our political sclerosis and the destruction of a liveable environment.
* Same story for Doug Ford’s tunnel under the 401 or the Double-Double Big Mac Billy Bishop With Cheese. Consultants win regardless.
Excellent reporting from APTN. These two opening paragraphs:
With Alberta’s promise to fully respect “Canada’s duty to consult with Indigenous Peoples,” as part of its promised July 1 submission on a new bitumen pipeline to the Major Projects Office, the province isn’t revealing which First Nations have been consulted.
Information provided by Alberta’s Ministry of Indigenous Relations said it’s not providing a list of specific communities in the interest of “open and honest participation.”
which is about as dryly sarcastic and critical as a purely factual report can be.

The Carney-Smith pipeline “is in complete opposition to the wishes and the things that the people in this part of the world support (…). The people here for the last 50 years have worked diligently to get legislation in place that would protect what is an extremely diverse and ecologically vulnerable place. It has values that far surpass anything that a possible pipeline and tanker route would provide for us.”

This whole series by @thetyee (https://thetyee.ca/Series/2026/06/24/PM-and-Broligarchs/) is basically telling us what is coming down the, er, pipeline
The Carney Liberals’ approach to AI, including its rapid incorporation into government, is just one of nearly 20 government policy decisions that can be traced back to Build Canada’s policy memos, including: slashing public spending, eliminating tens of thousands of public sector workers, embedding corporate leaders into the civil service, breaking democratic norms to support the development of major projects, and gutting climate policy while providing substantial tax breaks and subsidies to businesses.
The list continues, including passing punitive immigration and refugee reforms, reducing international aid, establishing a sovereign wealth fund, creating stablecoin legislation, overriding health and safety regulations in the name of food security, cutting taxes for housing developers, privatizing airports, developing a military-industrial complex, and diminishing public institutions such as CBC and Canada Post.
Council of Canadians@CanadiansOrg@mstdn.caThe Carney Liberals have increasingly aligned their messaging, rhetoric and policy vision with Build Canada, an AI-hyping, austerity-loving advocacy group created by tech executives previously linked to Pierre Poilievre, reports Chris Holcroft in The Tyee.
