Beware of soft cheeses like Brie, Camembert, feta, Roquefort, and queso fresco. There are over 100 made from raw milk, like made from raw milk include varieties like Roquefort, Comté, Gruyère, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and many traditional English Cheddars
Researchers: Live #H5N1 avian flu can survive in raw-milk cheese for up to 6 months Infectious virus persisted throughout the cheese-making process and aging in cheeses made with raw milk at pH levels above 5.0. https://t.co/q0QpMldS8A

I spend so long fighting off the urge to get into the Christmas feeling disgustingly early that when it is time to let her rip and really feel the festive season, the repression has become a habit and it's hard to get into the Christmas mood. Sigh.

Do you know why Canada and the US have a treaty that says you cannot deport someone who could face the death penalty? Why? Because the US demanded it when Cda still had capital punishment on the books & it was unconstitutional in the US, according to the US Supreme Court.
(1/2) A world without the death penalty is within our grasp. On this World Day Against the Death Penalty, Canada reaffirms its commitment to the global movement to abolish the death penalty and reasserts its opposition to capital punishment in all cases, everywhere.

A change urgently needed by the Cdn economy, & Canadians, is a combo of more treatment now & far more funding for research for Long COVID. Govt of Canada released an international literature survey that pegs the Long Covid rate at 50%. That's half your workers, kids, elders.

Meanwhile, from one of Canada's largest cities' downtown core, comes this good news. A community worried, is now a community relieved.

& as an economist @MarkJCarney will understand that #KindnessIsCostEffective Supported housing costs an order of magnitude less per person every month than leaving people on the street, in a shelter, in a hospital or a jail. Saving taxpayers≈$30,000/p/m with supported housing
Hon. Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, Housing is a human right. Yet, homelessness continues to surge across the country and housing remains unaffordable for millions of Canadians. On #WorldHomelessDay, we urge you to make affordable housing a national project! -Nurses 🆘EVERYONE:

A huge change. You cannot show up at the ferry terminal in Horseshoe Bay, BC and just wait for a ferry to Nanaimo. Prebooking is a must. @BCFerries is there a charge for pre-booking? Is a reservation, with the usual fee, by a different name? How much will it cost?
#BCFNews Starting October 15, all vehicles travelling from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo must be booked in advance. To support this change, we’re introducing Booking Alerts - a new tool to help you plan your trip. Learn more: 🔗 https://t.co/XKUkJJf63d

It seems this fellow, who lists himself as a consultant, has long been a consultant to the vaping producers.
@LGSentinel 2/2 But "vaping is a gateway to smoking" flies in the face of all evidence. US teen cigarette smoking plummeted 90% over the past decade to a 50-year low. Among all US adults, the age group with the steepest rate of smoking decline is young adults. Same in UK, NZ and Oz.

"1st they came for socialists I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist Then they came for trade unionists I didn't speak out bc I wasn't a trade unionist Then they came for Jews I didn't speak out bc I wasn't a Jew Then they came for me & was no one left to speak for me"
Asked Adam Schiff if he was worried he’s next, and he said: “This is not about me or about Letitia James or James Comey. It is about all of us. It is about whether people who stand up to the President and do their jobs and hold the administration accountable.”

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights.

A good item. To save $ (& because have car & storage space - a luxury) we: Buy 50 lb bags of spuds $25, Onions $20, carrots & beets for the winter Make baked pumpkin custard from scratch instead of pie Cook up cranberry sauce & freeze extra for Xmas Buy a piece of turkey to roast
We did the same shop at grocery stores for Thanksgiving dinner items to find the cheapest total

Dear @CRTCeng we're getting many nuisance calls, far beyond what we have in previous years (excluding election periods). Is there any reason for the increase? It's affecting all 4 phone numbers in our household. More importantly, what can we do? https://t.co/HuMLZ05kwT

Just when the need for educational assistants and special education is rising drastically because COVID damages brains, especially growing & developing brains.
NEWS: Raising the cap on class sizes for Special Education Classes by Ford will hurt our most vulnerable children and drive parents with means to private options - this is a privatization move. Shameful!
