During the Oka crisis, I lived close enough to Kanhawake that the Surete de Quebec came to our door to warn is that the Mohawks had mortars and sniper rifles aimed at our neighborhood. We should keep our blinds closed and be aware of the danger.

My boomer dad politely sent them on their way, then closed the door, turned to me and told me not to believe any of that. That was the day I learned not to trust the police. #notAllBoomers

The study found those who had an initial dose of AstraZeneca vaccine and got a second shot of Pfizer had an increase in IgG antibodies — which are commonly found in the bloodstream and play a key role in creating memory cells that fight the virus — that were 30 to 40 times higher than in a control group who only received one AstraZeneca dose.

I've been reflecting on the kids who were bussed from reserves to my neighborhood for schooling. When I went to school residential schools were still open( I'm old). I always used to think it was wrong to culturally indoctrinate the native kids like that, but now I'm wondering if they were the lucky ones.

I lay some pretty sick burns on the G&M comment boards. The racism there is off the charts, as well as the vaccine disinformation. I've definitely gotten in a few people's heads, people call me out by name on articles I haven't even read yet.

I have a few tips for maximizing enjoyment of newspaper comment trolling:
1) Just comment and leave, don't read people's replies it will only drag you into an argument with an idiot. Say your piece and move on.
2) Always tag the top comment or two with a smart reply explaining why it is wrong / racist. That way your idea doesn't have to get upvoted to get noticed, and you're countering the most toxic bullshit.
3) Put 'from Toronto' in your user name. I cannot stress this one enough, it drives people loving crazy to be burned/condescended to by a progressive FROM TORONTO.

Canadians support Israel because they are a settler nation who treat the settled as less than people, just like us.

quote:

Speaking with Alex Pierson for an interview for AM640 in late May and in a document sent out via his university email address, Dr. Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist with the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph, said recent scientific studies point to potential harms caused by COVID-19 vaccines and that the federal government should stop giving shots to children before more studies can be done.

[...]

Bridle’s document adds that the seasonal flu is more likely to cause severe illness in youth.


So he's a veterinarian who cast doubt on COVID vaccines on a right wing talk station, then compared COVID to the flu? I'm not an expert either but I'm going to go ahead and disregard this guy.

Any idea what the timeline is for the 5 to 12 group? Would be good to get them vaccinated before school starts

We're waiting on the data from trials, which should be in by late summer, and then Health Canada has to review and approve it.

It has to do with how the studies are done. I'm not an expert but as I understand a certain number of children in the placebo group have to catch COVID before the data can be considered complete. If enough of those kids tested positive this week, then the data would be complete much sooner.

Before schools starts is optimistic, but I think the 6-12 cohort getting shots by Canadian thanksgiving is realistic. The good news is we won't be waiting on vaccines, at that point we should have freezers full ready to go immediately.

e: to reiterate I am not an expert.

Then it's just as valid for China to call out Canada out on it's lovely practices. In the end it's just an imperialist state calling out a colonial one and vice versa, using human rights issues as political fodder in one upping each other. It's completely meaningless and doesn't help either the Uighurs or Indigenous peoples of North America.

Except in this case it's a sitting legislator calling out his own colonial state on behalf of a foreign imperialist one.

I'm the most adamant anti-nationalist I've ever met and even I think this stinks.
