If they pull this off it'd be huge. Huge. Glorious news for the afflicted and their families. And maybe even the biggest cost-savings for entitlement programs in history. We spend 100s of billions of dollars caring for people with Alzheimer's. Science! act.alz.org/site/DocServer/2…
🧠A vaccine against Alzheimer’s disease could be on the horizon after scientists carried out successful trials in animals. Researchers were able to reverse memory loss in mice and are keen to move quickly to human trials Thread 🧵👇 telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/11…

Between stuff like this and the hours-long wait to vote for some Canadians, a resignation from the Chief Electoral Officer would be appropriate.

Tolerance isn't a lack of exclusive beliefs. Everyone has exclusive beliefs--we all think we are right about important things and the world would be better if others agreed. Tolerance is whether your beliefs lead you to treat those disagreeing with kindness, respect, humility.

We’re talking about a man who kept his money in a tax-preferred trust fund, was convicted of repeatedly violating the ethics act & took tens of thousands of dollars of gifts from people he gave government grants. But enough about Justin Trudeau. Bill Morneau resigned tonight.

So the genesis of this was a WE pitch to cabinet then. *pauses, lets that sink in*

It was always a matter of when, not if. I want to thank my colleagues, esp Rich and Ellis, BC's civil servants who stuck with it and, the NDP government. They could have stood in the way - they didn't. This is an achievement for our whole country - and we did it together. 2/2

Wealth is not a relevant factor in refugee status. Many wealthy people sold their possessions to flee Germany in the 1930s. Many regimes deliberately target political opponents who may be wealthy. *But* if you don’t seek asylum when you land in NY? Then I have serious questions.
If you can buy a plane ticket from Nigeria to NY, you’re not a real refugee. How long will this costly farce continue to destabilize our refugee system? The solution is to close the loophole in the treaty and immediate return these false refugees to the U.S.

It is clear that Max never accepted the result of the leadership vote and seeks only to divide Conservatives. His decision today allows the Conservative Party of Canada to move forward united behind our Leader @AndrewScheer.

The Prime Minister has said that he wants higher gas prices to act as incentives “to make better choices”- however when Greyhound abandons many smaller rural communities they are often left with no choices. This is a point I have shared in Ottawa that the Liberals overlook.

I've never seen a group of journalists so incurious to pursue a story that clearly still has legs. Instead actively trying to cut the legs off the story. Funny that. xitter.gq/GraemeCGordon/status/1…
Closed for her. She said nothing about the media asking further questions, and PM's answers have been incoherent thus far. xitter.gq/drewfoundland/status/1…

4 pipelines under Harper: 1. Pipeline Built: TransCanada's Keystone pipeline (not to be confused with Keystone XL) 2. Pipeline Built: Enbridge's Alberta Clipper 3. Pipeline Built: Kinder Morgan's Anchor Loop pipeline 4. Pipeline Built: Enbridge's Line 9 reversal #ableg #abpoli xitter.gq/rachelnotley/status/97…
We had conservatives in Ottawa, Edmonton, & Victoria for a decade, and got no pipeline, no diversification, no climate progress. They had their chance and they blew it. We're going to get these things done. #IndustrialHeartland #cdnpoli #ableg #bcpoli xitter.gq/JLittlewoodNDP/status/…

Toronto Star helpfully illustrating (again) how their new conflict of interest immediately pollutes their journalism: no bailout critics quoted! thestar.com/news/canada/2018…

CFS is some police state horseshit. The sooner we blow up the whole model the better. xitter.gq/IndigenousXca/status/9…
So I will be heading home from Winnipeg in a couple days. The court appearance i had hoped for has been changed now to mearly requesting access to my children over the holidays & CFS is continuing to ask for a number of restrictions including that I don’t tweet over the holidays.

hard to imagine that someone actually thought watching @TheAgenda on a university campus made them feel "unsafe." have we really lost the ability to debate issues on campuses? thestar.com/opinion/contribu… #FreedomOfSpeech #media
