Just saw a video of a black bear waiting for a stoplight to change before it crossed the road in Port Coquitlam! (A suburb of Vancouver, BC.)

Very well behaved bear. Waited for the light to change, then crossed at the crosswalk. @cityofpoco

An inventor by the name of Zac Clark designed a rugged #solar-powered backpack (the #MakeshiftTraveler) that not only charges phones via its battery and solar panel, but also unfolds into a sleeping system with a tent, rain poncho, flashlight and hygiene kit for people experiencing #homelessness 😊🎒☀️

And thousands have already been donated to people in need.

Axe the Vax Tax: Health Shouldn’t Come With a Price Tag

Charging for vaccines means fewer people get protected. Families living paycheck to paycheck will skip vaccines. Workers will get sick, especially health care and education workers.

Our President, Erica Payne, spoke with Fast Company, and shared our super simple message for the FAA during the shutdown:

“If you need a 10% reduction [in flights], you can get 100% of your reduction from the private planes.”
www.fastcompany.com/91437451/faa...

These millionaires have a suggestion for the FAA: Cancel all private jet flights during the shutdown

Private jets make up one in six flights handled by the FAA, and taxpayers already foot the bill for their 'jet setting,' says Patriotic Millionaires.

Every urbanist needs a close friend who navigates the city in a wheelchair/w mobility challenges & a friend who does city life w small children & a friend who does it living w age-related challenges. Understanding these perspectives is vital. If we built for these, it would work for nearly everyone.

Global Abortion Rights News @globalabortionnews.bsky.social · 1d

Human fetal tissue research has saved millions of lives and continues to drive biomedical innovation. Restricting it would not alter abortion rates, it would force scientists to discard an irreplaceable research resource for treating devastating diseases.

Restrictions on fetal tissue research would threaten progress on breakthrough treatments for devastating diseases — and yet not prevent a single abortion

The U.S. government may restrict funding for research that uses human fetal tissue. The move would undermine medical science and prolong patients' suffering from devastating diseases.

Danielle Smith's power comes from convincing Albertans that they have an enemy in Ottawa
If she didn't distract Albertans with her Ottawa-is-to-blame schtick she'd actually have to fix our problems
& fixing our problems would get in the way of her corruption

This is the safest place for a meeting because Maple MAGAts rarely read any books & probably don't even know where the library is located.

Canada played a major role in the liberation of the Netherlands, including the Battle of the Scheldt and house-to-house fighting.

“I think the Scheldt estuary battle was probably the most important Canadian victory of the war," Prof. David Bercuson said.

So, while I was paying for my Shingrix vaccine, two people beside me go "Oh, very smart -- we've both had it and it's the worst."

Then they told me their horror stories.

Get your shingles vaccine if you're over 50 (or even earlier, if you can).

We are bombarded with doom and gloom projection headlines daily and they are almost never correct.
