If confirmation bias exists, it does so as a legitimate enterprise only. I challenge anyone to put their confirmation bias aside and be open to that possibility. Anyone who calls out another's confirmation bias is intellectually lazy and holding to a self-defeating position.

This is ostensibly called a “medical technology,” yet in substance it is a “modern variation of eugenic thought” that negates existence itself. To position Down syndrome as a condition that should be socially corrected already entails a eugenic logic that determines who is permitted and who is excluded. In modern society, an implicit consensus has quietly but steadily taken hold that those deemed undesirable to society may be eliminated in advance.

Japon bilim insanları, laboratuvarda yetiştirilen insan hücrelerinde Down sendromuna neden olan 21. kromozomun fazladan kopyasını kaldırmayı başardı. Bu, hastalıkların kökenine doğrudan müdahale edilebileceğini gösteren çarpıcı bir adım.

By chance? Unlikely, let alone creatures capable of asking the question.

Of course we have been convinced by Ottawa to have a visceral reaction to MAGA. It really would prefer MAWA. You can keep pounding away at a wall & at some point the wall falls. Ottawa has done that to Americans & even Mr Ford isn’t going to save us.The EU may be our only option.

1/ Are modRNA 'vaccines' misunderstood? Mori et al. (2026) suggest LNPs aren’t just 'delivery trucks' or 'fat bubbles.' They can independently cause significant stress in cells. 🧵

It is considered political suicide to admit error, repent, and face the consequences. That is the problem with leadership in today's "democracies" Personal political survival wins vs integrity every time.

“That’s been a part of the frustration of minority government over the last number of years. You get Opposition members who will oppose, in many ways, in many senses, for the sake of opposing and opposing only.” — MP @Kevin_Lamoureux (Winnipeg North)
Blacklock's Reporter@mindingottawa

Liberals claim first majority since 2019 with 3 byelection wins and 5 floor-crossings to end 'years of frustration' in tolerating Opposition, says one MP.  blacklocks.ca/frustrations-o… #cdnpoli

Bill C-22 (Lawful Access) allows the government to build a system that makes it easier to access your telecom data, your phone, internet, and other digital activity, by requiring networks to be ready for that access. The problem is how that system is being built. It is being shaped by government ministers, behind closed doors, and without full parliamentary scrutiny. Ministers will set the rules for how your data is collected, retained, and accessed — through regulation, not through open debate in Parliament. Bill C-22 is not just about access to your data. It is about control over the system that makes that access possible.

@NChartierET Ridiculous. They actively seek party nomination as candidate and ride the coattails of their leader's popularity to get elected. Then the leader of the party that wins most seats gets to be prime minister. Not that I like this system, but don't tell me it "doesn't mean a thing"

"The party doesn't mean a thing when you're actually elected." - MP Chris d'Entremont on April 10. "We as politicians need to make a decision on what is the best course of action for our ridings and how we better can affect and represent them. And if floor crossing is required, then it should be required." cpac.ca/cpac-special/e…

I am more than willing to forgive for what happened to our family for two years starting in March 2020, on one condition. And the ball has been in their court for four years.

@mapleblooded BTW, I have never requested a pay increase from any employer and never left any due to dissatisfaction with remuneration. They have all been fair. But the cost of living is getting out of hand. Especially when housing adult kids who can't afford their own place.

New Access to Information Request Reveals Hundreds of Canadians Died After COVID-19 Vaccination, Majority Within Two Days or Less From Severe Reactions. A newly released file under the Access to Information Act provides a detailed breakdown of reports submitted to Canada’s national vaccine safety surveillance system involving deaths that occurred following COVID-19 vaccination. The 50-page release from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) contains individual level entries drawn from the Canadian Adverse Events Following Immunization Surveillance System (CAEFISS), covering reports recorded between March 1, 2020, and February 12, 2026. CAEFISS operates as a federal, provincial, and territorial collaboration, combining both passive and active surveillance. Healthcare providers, public health authorities, and, in some cases, patients family members contribute reports. The records list 314 cases in which an adverse event following immunization (AEFI) was reported with an outcome of death. Each entry includes the vaccine administered, reported symptoms, and the time between vaccination and onset of symptoms. It is important to note that fewer than 10 percent of vaccine-related adverse events are reported to health authorities, meaning that tens of thousands of cases were likely never documented. In addition, it has become widely known that many doctors feared reprisal if they reported vaccine injuries, which would further distort the true numbers. The vaccines referenced in the access to information file include those manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty), Moderna (Spikevax), AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria), and others authorized during the pandemic. Reported symptoms vary widely and include cardiac events such as myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest, neurological events such as stroke and seizures, and other conditions including respiratory failure, thrombosis, and multi-organ complications. According to the file, time to onset of reaction ranged from less than a day to several weeks or, in some cases, was listed as unknown. However, the majority of deaths were reported within two days or less. A link to the access to information file is in the comments section.
