Mark Carney gambles another $25 billion on the national credit card.

The research behind this is wild. Your sperm carries a set of instructions that tell your genes when to turn on and off. A Duke University study found that THC rewrites those instructions. The more weed in your system, the bigger the changes. It goes straight for the genes your future embryo needs in its first week of life. I had to read the "day 3 crash" part twice. For the first three days after fertilization, an embryo runs entirely on the mother's DNA. Day 3, the father's genes switch on. If those genes carry cannabis damage, the embryo just stops growing. Fertility doctors see this happen in their labs: embryos that fertilized fine and looked healthy on day 2 go completely still by day 5. Boston University tracked 1,535 couples trying to have a baby. Men who smoked weed once a week or more doubled their partner's miscarriage risk. That number held up even when the woman herself never touched cannabis. And the miscarriages clustered in the first 8 weeks, right when the father's damaged DNA would be doing the most harm. Duke also found that the specific genes THC alters in sperm overlap with genes linked to autism. One of those genes, called DLGAP2, helps brain cells communicate with each other. It was changed in cannabis users' sperm. When researchers bred THC-exposed male rats and checked their offspring, the same altered gene pattern showed up in the pups' brains. The damage crossed a generation. Weed has gotten way stronger over the last 30 years. THC content was about 4% in the 1990s but nearly quadrupled to 15% by 2018, and modern dispensary strains regularly sit at 20-30%. Concentrates go up to 95%. Quitting for about 11 weeks (one full cycle of sperm production) reverses some of the DNA changes. Not all of them. Duke's lead researcher says men should stop at least 6 months before trying for a baby. Half of your kid's genetic blueprint comes from you, and right now, THC is editing that blueprint before conception even happens.

my conspiracy theory officially, less than 1% of women wanted this. it passed after 46 minutes of commons debate, without public consultation or evidence sessions, it was tagged onto a crime and policing bill while being the biggest change to abortion law since 1967 this is the same country that spent a decade covering up industrial scale raping gangs because they were afraid of "community relations" women getting pregnant from rapes nobody would prosecute, unable to legally terminate, ending up in courts that force questions nobody in government wants to answer so what do you do. you can't face the gangs issue because that means facing the corruption and the coverups. you can't arrest the girls because that leads back to the gangs again. so you make the abortions legal and stop talking about the rapes

CRA Is A Curse On Canadians: It's Tax Time Again Get Ready For Peak Insanity If you have to deal with CRA directly you know just how unbelievably difficult & frustrating it can be Quite a few CRA Agents who take calls can barely speak English or French That's hard 2/
