In 1971, 1 in 3 NHS doctors were overseas born
Given the avg patient age, those born in the 1890s were quite likely to meet a migrant doctor
Whatever some commentators born in the 60s/70s/80s say, most ppl (incl their grandparents) regularly & positively interacted w/migrants their entire lives

Pedestrian struck by motorist on Parkside a block from the speed camera that vigilantes kept tearing down that caused ford to remove them from all Ontario. Drive as you wish Ontario. Nobody matters. This is what you voted for.

This is the thing with Canadians of all head shapes. Because Canadians are so trusting and credulous, Canadians do not build up strong capacity for lying. And so when asked to account for themselves they will quite readily spin the most blatantly discredible tales with their sunny Canadian smile on.
these people hold giant parades every June to honour St. John the Baptist. will never understand why we pretend these people are serious when we know that, say, the Albertans are not serious

I am saying "runctitional features" over and over again in delight.
Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?

There's a deeply curious item buried in this story, very pathetic, very funny, very silly, showing how on earth do-nothing Democrats survive into the modern era. It consists in this quote:
"activist groups such as Progressive Democrats of America (PDA)..."
Say what!! Where did THAT come from!?

Could a Democrat win a US House seat that backed Trump in 2024 by 22 points. New polling says Democrat Aftyn Benn has made it a 46D/48R race. She explains to The Nation why an upset is possible.

Same with a student admitted into Windsor's Law's LLM program. The federal government's refusal to assist these students is unconscionable.
A student admitted to grad school at UNB is stranded in Gaza because the Canadian government won't issue a study permit without biometrics that in turn cannot be produced without a travel visa to leave Gaza.
The Canadian government needs to issue the permit and UNB needs to intervene.
