I thought universality was a core principle of the Canada Health Act.

As many of us have been saying for so long, demolition of history and historical context, mixed with rampant speculation driving arts and cultural activity out of town... Well, who wants to visit that? Let alone live in it. #vanpoli vancouversun.com/opinion/colu...

It would be great if San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria did this. We stand ready to help implement a plan for clean indoor air starting with South Bay schools where kids are being exposed to a toxic nerve gas, hydrogen sulfide, every day. The air can be so bad, the kids are not allowed to go out and play.

No one buries their successes.
Mrs. Betty BowersThe Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

Those claiming only Canada has wildfires now are trying to divert attention from the fact that climate change is causing wildfires globally. We can’t fix a problem by refusing to understand the cause. Click to view an interactive map of wildfires around the world: firemap.live #ClimateChange

I'm not even two full weeks in yet and have already added 29 different people. The problem is far worse than I expected, and my expectation were bad. sites.google.com/view/religio...

Very rudimentary, but it's a start. Added another one since yesterday. Obviously not where I'll mainly be spending my time, but this much in a week is alarming. sites.google.com/view/religio...

Heads up, BC. Wastewater levels show COVID ticking up in Metro Vancouver & Fraser Valley. Still relatively low ... but only way to avoid Long COVID, or other more subtle brain, organ, vascular damage that simmers away, is to avoid COVID as much as possible. #MaskUp (X starts at 2025-05-18 below).

This piece by @michellegamage.bsky.social exposes the shambolic state of public health in BC. The lack of a science- and data-driven culture has deadly impacts, with COVID providing some obvious examples. It's not a bug, it's a feature - substituting the whims of power for rational decision-making.
Tracking Hospital Overdoses Isn’t Easy as It Seems: Dr. Bonnie Henry | The TyeeBC’s top doctor explains why health authorities may not be collecting this data. A Tyee Q&A.thetyee.caMark UngrinThe classic failure mode of public health decision-making is "it's possible the bad thing science predicts is not happening, we have to wait until it's too late before acting". GRADE-driven at least in part, as preferred methods are slow and retrospective (basically waiting for bodies to pile up).
