When the police call for police to be taken off mental health calls - as police chiefs have done in Toronto, Victoria and elsewhere - we should listen, ask who responds instead, and where the money comes from to pay for that service. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Police officers shouldn’t be leading mental health calls, Toronto police chief says | CBC News
For years, police have been on the front lines of mental health crisis calls in Toronto, but the city's police chief believes it's now time to rethink that approach.

One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.

For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

Repeat after me:

I will wear a N95 respirator as I travel in shared indoor spaces (healthcare facilities, airports, public restrooms, mall, etc)

I will not visit anyone upon feeling ANY symptoms indicating possible infection (e.g., tiredness, headache).

I will test.

Air purifiers are my friend.

We’ve been warning people about the damage that Covid causes to the immune system for years.

This video is from Dec 18th, 2024, and the warning remains the same today.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

Trying to forecast the future is prone to uncertainty, though I am probably closer to the alarmist end of the spectrum.
This article is most useful in highlighting the dismissals of such warnings. Big question is why? Normalcy bias? Not being vulnerable?

Last night, I heard back from the Canadian government about a delegation — including six elected MPs — who Israeli officials turned away from the West Bank

Those officials also shoved a Canadian Liberal MP multiple times.

This story is horrifying. What are we even doing as a province -- as a country -- that people are doing this to survive?

“That isn’t something that should ever happen in a country like Canada or a city like Toronto.”

From Alberta and Ontario to Quebec and British Columbia, Canada's premiers have been ratcheting up their anti-judge rhetoric. It won't lead us anywhere good.
