The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Your reminder that Moderna’s newly updated COVID vaccine, targeting the LP.8.1 variant, has been approved by Health Canada and, for the first time, will be manufactured here in Canada. So I fully expect those of us who want it to be able to get it. When? I would think late October.

Since 2020 we have literally added a virus that most people now get once or twice per year. Add in that it also often comes with a post-viral condition.
Why is it never mentioned that **of course** people are taking more sick days? Most predictable thing ever.

Air Canada was so clearly banking on the government forcing the flight attendants back to work and they have no idea what to do now.
It's kinda fascinating how both AC and the government just assumed they could just rig this against the flight attendants and never expected the union to push back.

They underestimated public support for flight attendants & how much people hate Air Canada. Also, the unpaid labour discussion is hitting a nerve because a lot of us are asked to do this while our pay is stagnant but executive pay & bonuses goes up. Carney & his team have bad political instincts.

You can't make this up: Kennedy's anti-vax goons say the old ACIP members were biased because they think vaccines are a good public health tool—something they call "ideological uniformity" but what most other people call settled truth.
