Just wondering out loud when we'll get a #NeverPoilievre soundbite dance mix: "This country is bro-bro-bro-broken. Axe-axe-axe-b-b-b-b-broken!"
While the Texas measles outbreak is attracting much media attention, the measles situation in Canada is concerning.
The measles outbreak in Southwest Ontario is attributed to visitors from New Brunswick (were there had been a cluster of cases) who attended a Mennonite wedding.
For those unfamiliar, Mennonite and Amish communities in that region vary in strictness of observance but it is an area where, as in Pennsylvania, horse-drawn vehicles are an everyday occurrence. (A significant subgroup moved to Mexico in the early 20th century to avoid mandatory public schooling of children and returned yearly as seasonal migratory farm workers. Many of these Old Colony Mennonites have resettled in the area as well as around Alymer, west of Ottawa.)
While Mennonite community faith leaders communicated, during the COVID pandemic emergency, that vaccination was not inconsistent with religious practice, vaccination rates generally remain relatively low. While no deaths as yet, the numbers of measles cases are very high and recently, according to the second of these CBC reports, there has been transmission to Alberta where vaccination rates are as low as 50% in the affected communities.
A first CBC story with an update on Ontario case numbers - over 800.

A second looks at the situation in southwest Ontario. There are cases in most other provinces at this point. Alberta is a particular concern as there are cases in a region with a 50% vaccination rate.
A third draws attention to longer term heath issues of which many of us are unaware since measles had been effectively eradicated in Canada.
“Immunologist Dawn Bowdish, a professor of medicine at McMaster University, says the measles virus has mutations that allow it to hide out from the immune system, then move from neuron to neuron where the parts of the brain required for cognition and movement can be damaged. “

CBCOntario measles case count tops 800, 155 new infections since last week | CBC NewsOntario is reporting 155 new measles cases over the last week, pushing the province's case count to 816 since an outbreak began in the fall. Public Health Ontario says there have now been 61 hospitalizations.
Conservatives are liars!

The #Conservatives claimed..the #Edmonton-area rally was attended by 15,000 people. CBC News counted roughly 1,558 in one panorama photo shared by the campaign. Even assuming..a large number of attendees were missed due to perspective or obstruction, 15,000 is "not possible," according to #GKeithStill, an expert in #CrowdDynamics and safety, who is a visiting professor of crowd science at the #UniversityOfSuffolk.

CBCLiberals and Conservatives said their rallies drew thousands. We decided to count | CBC NewsCrowd sizes have become a discussion point in this election. The CBC News’s visual investigation unit looks at some of the images from those rallies to try to determine whether the reality fits with the campaigns' claims.
North of North has dropped on Netflix today.
It’s an absolute joy of a show that looks misogyny, settler paternalism and intergenerational trauma directly in the eye but still leaves one feeling delighted, cheering on Siaja’s journey as a young ‘modern Inuk woman’ episode by episode.
A CBC-ATPN coproduction with Netflix, it ran weekly on CBC Gem earlier this year in Canada.
It deserves all the viewing minutes globally.
Starting a rewatch is what I needed this week.

@firda I love this show! I hope it's popularity means we get more like it.
I also loved "Sort of" and "Schitt's Creek".
Quality homegrown shows!
Canadians mass cancelled their travel plans before trump released his gestapo ICE, so the economic attack and the security of Canada is also a consideration, not just fear. Reductionist-revisionist tomfoolery.
I have never heard of Colossal Biosciences before why is their questionable PR press release getting as much attention as geopolitical upheaval #CBC

CBC News just managed to give Governor Poilievre 20 minutes news and ‘As It Happens’ coverage without once touching on Trump’s distaste for the man.
Amazing.

Even though #PierrePoilievre says he'll build homes, he tries to stop funding for housing. We need #CBC and #RadioCanada to #factcheck him. #elections #elections2025 #Canada #Canpoli #politics #PCC #CPC #factchecking #SaveTheCBC
Anyone else miss in today’s disgraceful #cbc ‘reporting’ a reminder Netanyahu is wanted by the ICC for war crimes or that Trump today asserted Nazi Germany was ‘nicer’ to Jews than Hamas has been to Israeli hostages?
Okay.
Okay…
So this is what it’s like to live under fascism.
This is life under the oft-read-about cone of unreality.
The US president looks like a carrion-eating turkey vulture, but no one dare say it.*
It is weird.

"Her comments about Fain came after she stepped in to answer a reporter's question for a Canadian UAW member who attended the press conference....
Bill Pollock, president of UAW Local 251, represents workers in a range of industries across southwestern Ontario, ..."
WTF #CBC There has not been a canadian UAW since the Canadian Auto Workers (now Unifor) was formed in 1985.
#cbc radio now coddling the 'law abiding' gun lobby, interviewing one of the lily white far-right gun loving mouthpieces of rural southwest Ontario.
Here's one of my gun stories: good friend separates from her philandering gun-loving husband 2-3 yr ago. Amidst the heaps of shit left for her to clean up: box upon box of unsecured hunting ammo in garage.
Why so much? Why not locked w/ 4+ kids, most teens? Why the garage (door often open/unlocked)?
'Law abiding' my ass.

@akurjata have you worked out the annual kWh threshold where this makes sense to switch?
This is the type of reporting where the #CBC really pisses me off. #heatpumps and #electriccars in themselves save energy.
Its people with large houses hot tubs and baseboard heating that can save costs this way.
Is #Poilievre threatened by the #CBC? Is #media control his game? You bet! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN_wXbssNvo&list=PLuGLCEEdorkIMLQIALYrt7ZAf-NRAb17l
