Canadian veterans are among those who want an apology from Trump for belittling NATO efforts during the war in Afghanistan. Canada saw heavy combat and suffered steep casualties during the conflict it joined to support the U.S. after the 9/11 attacks.

So Eric Topol has blocked me because I asked him why he doesn’t mention COVID prevention as part of his agenda for super ageing in his bestselling ‘Super Ager’ book

To me service challenges seem like only one slice of the disaster. They accept coffee cups made of plastic lined cardboard-and several other items that we already know don’t have markets & only downcycle. Show&tell me where is there a “recycling” facility for these that is not an incinerator?!
Ford govt's transition from municipal recycling to a privately funded and run system continues to be problem-filled. Some T.O. condos & apts have received no pickup this month, creating mountains of waste and forcing residents to store some in their units www.thestar.com/news/gta/it-...

Residents of Peel Region and other communities have been told that overflow recycling left beside bins in clear bags will not be collected after March 1.

Reversing the decision made by our elected trustees to cap class sizes for grades 4-8 at 32 students counter to all evidence. No justification. What else should we expect when Ford put a former Metrolinx advisor in charge of Canada’s largest school board? #tdsb #onted #onpoli

I kinda want to know what the Bored of Peace gang are up to today. Do they sit around playing games like Risk? Are they practicing secret handshakes? Do they spin globes and point at places to attack? Are they ubering some McDonalds in yet? Maybe go-carting. Could Drumph go go-carting? Would he fit?

As the temperature in Toronto goes from above freezing on Thursday to -25 C by Friday night, you may be woken by one or more loud CRYOSEISMS, or frost quakes. I remember them from the winters of 2014 and 2015. A loud BANG in the middle of the night.

This is an important read regarding what Canadian public health officials had been made aware of by subject matter experts as of March 19, 2020. I can see this being significant in legal actions, including Westray prosecutions once the special treatment ends.

A hideous, unbelievable insult to our allies, who suffered a full third of the war dead in Afghanistan. And this from a soulless swine who knows everything about using his bone spurs to stay all the way back, entirely off the front lines.
Every day, he shames the United States as a nation.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
