I think the BC public has moved well past that " 2ยฐ would be quite nice" stage, but now our problems lie with government technical capacity and politicized management. We went through a period starting in the mid 90s when federal and prov govts focused on cutting deficits. 1/?

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon โ€œI represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trumpโ€™s โ€œbuyoutโ€ this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. Itโ€™s not DEI - itโ€™s him. And Elon too.โ€

I just watched President Trumpโ€™s news conference on the heartbreaking, horrific accident at DCA, and I have to tell you: Itโ€™s one thing for internet pundits to spew up conspiracy theories. Itโ€™s another for the President of the United States of America to throw out idle speculation even as victims are still being recovered, and families are still being notified. It turns your stomach.

Gutting oversight isnโ€™t about efficiencyโ€”itโ€™s about eliminating accountability.

It was made clear in the SARS 2003 Report that the Precautionary Principle should be applied, not RCTs particularly when in a crisis and the goal is to preserve lives. Unfortunately, it turned out the leaders/decision makers ignored the recommendations in the report.

RFK Jr & his kids are vaccinated. Because he knows vaccines are safe & effective. Yet he makes millions of dollars causing preventable illness & death by telling other people vaccines are harmful. 1/

Important question - RCT or no RCT for this or other life-saving measures? โฌ‡๏ธ

Serious question. Did any of your engineering teams ever conduct what medical doctors call โ€œrandomized control trialsโ€ during evaluation of the ejection seat systems? Iโ€™m assuming no. Iโ€™m assuming that you tested using other standard engineering processes. Care to confirm?

This is appalling. Quite apart from the blame-the-victim crapology of the thesis, the author is โ€” how can I put this โ€” not well. If Peterson were not a clear and present danger, if he were not a mouthpiece for every insane conspiracy theory and boiling resentment in the Trumposphere at a particularly perilous moment, I would be genuinely concerned for his health, and annoyed that the Post was exploiting his infirmity, like a circus freak show. But in the circumstances, itโ€™s a bit like when Rob Ford was mayor: heโ€™s clearly in distress, he very obviously needs help, but Iโ€™ll have more time for sympathy when heโ€™s no longer in a position to do harm.

Rachel Maddow has turned the volume up to 11 on tonight's show. I think it's safe to say we're beyond procedural formalities and floor lectures, Congress. The regime is dismantling the government (like they said they would). Maybe you all shouldn't have handed over the keys so "politely." Or used the 14th Amendment. But here we are. We have a dictator now.

Sonia Furstenau has been a tireless advocate for climate action, proportional representation, and a more just future. Her leadership will be deeply missed, but her legacy of courage and compassion will continue to inspire. Wishing her the very best in her next chapter.
NEW: BC Green Party leader Sonia Furstenau announces sheโ€™s stepping down as party leader. Prefaces news by joking, I should probably be smiling less. Brings an end to 10 years of service in public office. #bcpoli

The engineering and science behind N95 and clean air did not change when the pandemic hit. What happened is decision makers with power realized that actually deploying countermeasures for airborne was going to be hard and expensive. So they threw proverbial sticks in wheels.

๐Ÿ’ฏ Public health in Canadian provinces ran with this narrative, politicians hid behind it in a desperate attempt at โ€œnormalcyโ€ to push economy. No one, including Rasmussen, Conly, Henry, et al, has corrected this statement or situation.

The limited supply of N95s did not justify telling the public that they shouldn't wear them. They should have been told: "N95s are the best. We don't have enough of them. So, for the time being, do the best you can with the best mask you can get and wear."

Joe Biden spent weekends at Delaware beach house. MAGA -outrage over cost of secret service going with him. Trump spends weekend in Las Vegas at his OWN hotel, where taxpayers pay inflated rates for him & Secret Service that go directly to Donald's pocket. MAGA - crickets.
