Noted democrat and constitutionalist weighs in.
What we witnessed yesterday in Warsaw was a blatant violation of Polandโs constitution. I never thought @donaldtusk would sink to such depths as to stage a coup dโรฉtat against his own people. I sincerely hope President @NawrockiKn succeeds in his efforts to uphold Polandโs constitutional order. Our hearts go out to the Polish people.

There is a path. These two sides are inching closer.
Doesnโt mean theyโll get there, of course. Defections from Eisenkotโs existing coalition remain a big stumbling block.
All will depend on how badly the opposition really wants to remove Netanyahu.

Moving to LA to avoid liberals
Well, it's official. I will be leaving Canada for good and moving to the USA once all the paperwork is completed. Where will I be moving? While it wasn't my first choice, I will be heading to Los Angeles for specific reasons: I have work to do there. But my plan is to become naturalized in the USA for the rest of my days.
While LA would never have been my first choice, I don't think it's any worse than living in Canada right now.
Canada will never recover from what the liberals did here. I think even Los Angeles has a greater chance of recovery if Californians turn the state red.

Interpretation
SARS-CoV-2 was associated with 3โ4-fold higher population mortality burden than seasonal influenza A despite available countermeasures, & continued to contribute beyond the formal emergency period, underscoring importance of sustained respiratory virus prevention.
New paper out in Lancet Regional Health Americas, with Alicia Grima, Natalie Wilson, Simran Mann, Ashleigh Tuite and Clara Lee. How many Ontario deaths are attributable to respiratory viruses, and how does SARS-CoV-2 compare to flu? ๐งต doi.org/10.1016/j.lana.2026.โฆ

The Currency of the Journal Article Is Collapsing
As an editor I can say that we are being flooded with AI-assisted work.

(It is odd to me that clinicians who emphasize the importance of flu shots tell people not to worry about COVID boosters)
All data and code are open: github.com/fismanda/respiratโฆ (Zenodo archived). This specific study was unfunded but our group is supported by funds from CIHR for which we are very grateful.
