Richest 0.1% on the planet, a group of 8 million people, are responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 3.5 billion combined. As a result, this group have contributed by 125 times more than the average person to extreme heat events.

Hi Leo ππ», I live in the UK & take precautions to avoid catching COVID.
Iβve read the research about the long-term harms of repeated COVID infections - none of it is good.
For me, itβs therefore worth the minor inconvenience of wearing a mask in public spaces to reduce my risk.

The war also cost hundreds of mllions of people, around the world, more money for groceries, gasoline, home heating, mortgages, credit card interest, car payments and travel. Many have lost their jobs. The war is one of the most idiotic decisions ever made with no exit strategy.
U.S. military officials estimate that the Trump administrationβs war with Iran has cost more than $47 billion through mid-October, a rise of more than $3 billion over the past several weeks, according to a document reviewed by The Post. wapo.st/4idRYlG

Black lives don't matter. If they did, Canada wouldn't fete UAE genocidaires complicit in the Sudan genocide. We protest the Gaza genocide. We support Ukraine. But the worst humanitarian crisis is Sudan. The reason is black lives don't matter. They're expendable for our profit.
Today, we launched a more ambitious partnership between Canada and the UAE.
A new free trade agreement that will unlock new access for Canadian businesses. A new energy partnership that will lead to greater investment in renewables. A new agreement on defence cooperation that will make Canadians safer.

Totally agree with Dr. Drummond. I've had many patients with an obvious genitourinary or groin complaint placed in the hallway. Senior citizens have undergarments changed in hallways. Not because staff don't care. It's they have zero other option. @alandrummond2

A report came out yesterday saying Ontario doesnβt have enough nurses and we have the lowest nurse/patient ratio.
Meanwhile every week the Ford govt literally lays off hundreds of nurses at [insert hospital here].
Itβs not that our system doesnβt work, our govt doesnβt work.

Shut up and let the professionals handle it, Mayor McCheese.
Youβve done enough damage.

On this day in 1977, Neil Young released βDecade,β a three-record collection spanning his early career. From βCinnamon Girlβ to βHeart of Goldβ and βCortez the Killer,β it's a glorious journey through one of rock's great songbooks.

Tell me AGAIN why the Peel District School Board is under supervision? Because we:
- balanced our budget every year, despite the Ministerβs claims
- didnβt do any of this nonsense
and have still been sidelined from our elected roles since January. Ridiculous.

Gross.
This is not a government that keeps its promises.
Ontarioβs hallway health care numbers have hit unprecedented highs:
On an average day in Jan 2025, Ontario hospitals treated 2,088 patients in hallways, break rooms and other spaces never meant for care.
It was the most since Ontario Health began tracking the number in 2017 and 52 per cent more than January 2018, the winter before Doug Ford won a majority government promising to end hallway health care.

This is cool.
π¨ BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a new enamel-repairing gel that starts restoring teeth in just 2 WEEKS.
This could replace fillings and change dental treatment worldwide, with use expected around late 2026β2027.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Lab tests on extracted teeth showed thin enamel-like mineral regrowth after 1-2 weeks ex vivo, not in patients. No evidence it replaces fillings; a small pilot trial for early white spots only began recruiting in 2026 with no results.

I believe the purpose of life is to be happy. Happiness is not guaranteed, we have to work for it. The most important way to do this is to cultivate concern for others. Thatβs how to take a wise approach to our natural self-interest.

NEW - Quebec has become the latest province to do away with the twice yearly clock change, but donβt expect Ontario to follow suit just yet. The Premierβs office tells me βOur position remains the sameβ in that it will only scrap the time change once New York State does.

He has a new $48 million pet project to address it with his laser focus yet one more time. The predictable result will be that in 25 out of 160 provincial ERs your 28 hour wait for a bed will only be 23 hours versus 28!
Ending hallway healthcare was one of @fordnationβs hallmark promises. New data shows it has become one of his hallmark failures.
Who would have thought that underfunding hospitals and firing nurses might do that?

I predict that one day soon, provinces will de-list joint replacement surgery or at least narrow the number of eligible patients. For everyone else, they'll say, "pay for it yourself." This is just a prediction. I have no inside knowledge and think that would be a travesty.

The BoC has made it very clear why there was an interest rate hike. Perhaps it is time for the Premier to start focusing on his core responsibilitie and do his job. 8 yrs in just look at his financial record. Deficit doubled, $500M debt and nothing to show for it.

Trump is going to claim the Democrats rigged the midterm elections. When that happens remind his stupid supporters that if Democrats were actually rigging elections Trump wouldn't be president right now, he'd be in goddamn prison
