REQUIRING DOCTOR’S NOTES IN ORDER TO EXCUSE ABSENCES IS BY DESIGN CLASSIST—ESPECIALLY IN A COUNTRY WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!!

Reminds me of the time Mathieu Fleury was playing around in photoshop during the pandemic thinking he could design a new facade for the Chateau Laurier as the Salvation Army shelter build was stopped because it didn’t match his vision of a cutesy “Main Street” for Vanier.

If he had ever actually done an IQ test, he would know this was not one. And anyone who has ever had to manage elderly parents with cognitive issues, knows this test well. It appears he has done it several times. That usually indicates significant concern and behavioural changes.

This is the thing about dementia.The patient thinks things are happening that aren’t.They have great trouble learning anything new & replace known things & known memories with new imagined ones.They cannot be convinced differently.They anger easily & irrationally.They will deny even obvious proof.

“Trump has previously bragged about his performance on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a dementia screening administered by clinicians that is not intended to test for intelligence”

Agreed! Easy enough to do

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

This is one of the stupidest takes I’ve ever heard.

I mean, for a start, what pro-Palestine protest in Ottawa ever lasted more than a few hours?

Did they honk horns all night long, sleep depriving neighbourhoods? Block roads for weeks at a time, impacting medical care kids with cancer?

National Post headline reads: Lawyer decries 'double standard' on Freedom Convoy, anti-Israel protests

Subhead reads: Tamara Lich's lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, ponders appeal after 'epic' trial that branded his activist client a criminal

By Donna Kennedy-Glans
Published Oct 26, 2025

National Post article excerpt reads:

“Reverting to lawyer-speak, he explains how
"Tamara came out publicly and said, 'You have to stop these F*** Trudeau signs. He's a father and he has children and this isn't right and that's not why we're here.'" You don't see that same kind of
condemnation of the messages being carried by the pro-Palestinian protesters, he adds; they hold the Hamas flag or chant Hamas slogans - including "from the river to the sea," which basically means eliminate all Israelis.”

National Post article excerpt reads:

"Yes, it's a double standard," he answers, albeit slowly. "And why is there a double standard?" he asks, more forcefully. "Maybe it has something to do with the fact there's 1.1 million Muslims in
Canada and there's only 250,000 Jews. Maybe that's what's driving it. I don't know," he says, quietly.
After a long pause, he reiterates: "But is there a double standard in the way that Tamara Lich and
Chris (Barber) were treated versus how the pro-Palestinian protesters with hate messages are being treated? For sure."

Seeing a magazine known for posting photos of rich people at philanthropic galas and drunk 20-year-olds at local bars effectively function as a propaganda arm of the mayor’s office feels very on point for Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe

Inside Lansdowne’s $418.8M overhaul, set to unfold through 2030s

Faces Magazine:

“Even with the renovations, much work was left to be done. Now, with Lansdowne 2.0 set in motion, the project is shaping up to be a smart, long-term investment in the heart of the city.

It’s not every day you hear about a city project getting less expensive, especially one this big.

This article is based on an official communication from Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe, October 2025.”

I will try to find it, but that doesn’t sound like it bodes well for the entire food & beverage industry who use the exact same cocoa powder that protein shakes do. Confectionery and bakery sectors, including chocolate bars, cakes, cookies, and pastries use more cocoa powder than those health shakes

Hey, remember when some folks kept arguing there was no demand in China for Canadian oil as part of their critique of TMX?

I sure do.

If lead stemming from contamination comes from cocoa post harvest drying processes then what chocolate is exempt from that? All chocolate comes from cocoa beans unless it’s not actual chocolate

apaltrysnow.bsky.social @apaltrysnow.bsky.social · 14d

A lot of those protein powders come in tetra packs. Those tetra packs have a metal looking liners, sometimes it’s plasticized aluminum but if there are manufacturers cutting corners and packaging is sneaking through then inspections are being missed. Just a theory

apaltrysnow.bsky.social @apaltrysnow.bsky.social · 14d

Again if chocolate powder is high in lead then all chocolate is high in lead. This report doesn’t specify anywhere why the powders are high and powders are literally just ground up products like chocolate

Yeah the CR report is what this thread is about. Problem with the CR report is that it doesn’t say where the lead is coming from and I suspect it’s from the packaging and not the powders unless someone is purposely putting something in the powders to bulk up the net weight

apaltrysnow.bsky.social @apaltrysnow.bsky.social · 15d

Still, cocoa doesn’t have lead. If that’s true then all chocolate is high in lead. Hmmm. Not that I trust AI but here’s what the robots say.

Don’t worry the international lobby groups are shaking hands with them right now and putting copyright on seed grown in Canada as we speak. They got all kinds of money or at least corporate monsanto-y backing

Not to mention county and provincial governments spraying it from choppers every year into forests so they can kill off broad leaf species and get their machines in to harvest all those hydro poles for the next subdivision. No joke. Serious talk. It’s in MNR’s 448 pg 10 yr plan

apaltrysnow.bsky.social @apaltrysnow.bsky.social · 16d

Hold up. Plants only have lead in them if they are grown in contaminated soil. This report doesn’t say where the lead is coming from. I have suspicions it’s leaching from the packaging. Those bro shakes have wacky containers. If the powders have lead your whole foods have lead too by this account.

Cool how Meta bans news publishers on Facebook, yet allows this gibberish to remain:

News Now: Florida just became rhetorical first state to ban weather modification and geoengineering flights at all state airports”
