We like to think we’ve returned to normal, but Covid and climate change will become more and more of a challenge to ignore. Biorisk consultant Conor Browne responded to a post about “this universally adopted phenomenon of people never mentioning the Covid word is really mind-blowing,” with this comment: “And

A Puff of Absurdity: Canadian Excess Deaths Report
Tara Moriarty wrote a compelling thread a couple weeks ago. I’ve never teared up from reading stats before. For anyone who doesn’t know her, Moriarty’s an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, and she and a small team of experts voluntarily create Covid stats each fortnight, posted at Canadian Covid-19 Hazard

I recently watched a few things, back to back, to distract me from the news. One was openly apocalyptical, as so much is these days. Is it a trend, or is the output the same, but I just never gravitated to it so much?? I’ve also noticed a rise in

What’s worse than bombing a hospital? Bombing a refugee camp, turning it into a death camp. The excuse: There was apparently a Hamas commander there. So if the first devastating blast killed him as the IDF claimed, why the followup attacks on refugees and emergency workers there? Hitting a refugee

An evergreen headline, because the war basically never ends. If you google for “Israel killed journalist” it doesn’t know if you want contemporary results, or ones for the infamous incident where unpunished Israel snipers killed a journalist last year. The situation isn’t complicated. There’s a repressed population in Gaza, and

More People Than Expected Are Dying In 2023 For Reasons That We Are Unwilling To Consider. pic.twitter.com/BGwBySR7AK — The Vertlartnic (@TheVertlartnic) August 16, 2023 An anti-waxxer would read that headline and think it’s a nod to vaccine injuries, but they remain mal-informed idiots. No, the cause is the pandemic, and

Well, it finally happened. The Queen of Canada died, at 96 years old. She passed a couple days ago at her Scotland estate, and I still haven’t heard a cause of death, but I doubt the COVID bout she had earlier this year helped her any. Prince Charles gets promoted

A man who helped define the Canadian justice system as deeply flawed, has died at age 69. David was sent to jail for a murder that he didn’t commit. The real killer later went to jail for other killings, and was proven the killer with the advancement of DNA evidence

I practically couldn’t believe this, except I know BoJo is not a fine bloke. Boris Johnson considered being injected with COVID-19 on live TV: ex-adviser Man too stupid to realize he brainstormed how to commit suicide on live TV, with the intention to instead calm the public down, has additional

Apparently the only reason no one in Saskatchewan died of COVID-19 the last couple weeks, was computer error, not reality. Of course Premier Moe was bragging only yesterday about his great numbers compared to Quebec with their public health measures he removed or refused to use here. We would all

My Mum passed away in the early morning of Thanksgiving this year. She’s being missed by all who cared for her, and nearly everyone who met her cared for her because she was a lovely person. I didn’t know what to put on my blog about this. I’ve been braced

“Minister Merriman, like Premier Moe, seems incapable of either hindsight or foresight. Our government must understand that a combination of strategies is required, rather than relying on vaccination alone.” Sask.'s political leaders are responsible for unnecessary suffering and death https://t.co/h2pulIj9BI — CBC Saskatchewan (@CBCSask) October 4, 2021 Moe has acted

The election in Canada is on Monday, and the Conservatives are annoyed that HarperCon Kenney is trying to stop his province’s healthcare system from burning down completely by then.

Scott Moe says he thinks Saskatchewan can do this. What is this? It’s BS. He thinks we’ll buy his BS. And he’s probably right that at lesst half of the people will. Look at his consistent catch phrase: The only time Saskatchewan flattened the curve was with a lockdown and

It might sounds odd, but a preplanned death at 75 may be a wise decision. Ezekiel J. Emanuel has made a conscious decision to have his life come to a close when he reaches 75 (or at least that’s what he hopes) for a multitude of reasons. He notices that
