This is equivalent to what is happening at Ontario universities If the provincial gov’t doesn’t direct more $ to Ontario universities, and/or still prevents unis from increasing tuition (currently frozen) your kids won’t be getting a good post secondary education Just sayin’
1) A week ago, I wrote about Santé Québec considering as a last resort “a selective reduction of services” to the population to absorb a $1.5-billion deficit. Today, the health minister all but acknowledged he will use that last resort. https://t.co/H7y6hnfNUJ

Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵👇@cellhostmicrobe

When will this woman’s medical licence be revoked? Or at least when will she be yanked from this role? She continues to actively do harm.
Dr. Bonnie Henry just said that we catch H5N1 by rubbing it into our eyes or from inhaling the virus, but then said the only thing we need to do to prevent catching it and other viruses is to wash our hands. 🤦♂️ She never mentioned wearing N95s and the like.

NEW! My study (N=913) finds 30 identity factors as basis for discrimination against women leaders. Women leaders are “never quite right” as almost any facet of their identity can be declared problematic for a specific woman in a specific context. https://t.co/C3kBh5s3TP
