  • Maybe this will make you feel better (from 4 days ago) ...

    It’s official: Premier Danielle Smith can now call herself Queen of Measles.

    And not just in Alberta. Try North America.

    That’s right. Alberta now leads the continent in a preventable childhood disease that leaves at least two of every 1,000 infections with severe intellectual disabilities, pneumonia or hearing loss. Or dead.

  • Adee says: “We had mites for 20 years, and we never had over 3% losses.” He believes there is a “combination of things” that makes the bees more stressed and the mites more deadly.

    He cites the use of neonicotinoid insecticides in the US, which harm bees’ nervous system, paralysing and ultimately killing them. Some researchers have warned of neonicotinoids causing another “silent spring”, referring to Rachel Carson’s 1962 book on the effects of the insecticide DDT on bird populations.

    Dave Goulson, professor of biology at the University of Sussex, says the study provided no evidence that the viral load was higher in weaker colonies. “Almost all bee colonies have these viruses, but they only do significant harm when the colony is stressed.”

  • TikTok did this, not the Canadian gov't.

    TikTok is ending its sponsorship of several major Canadian arts organizations, including the Juno Awards and the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), as it prepares to shut down its Canadian operations under a federal directive.

    The company said it is complying with an order issued by Ottawa last November, which requires TikTok to wind down operations in Canada due to national security concerns. As a result, the company says it will suspend all partnerships and funding initiatives in the country. So, in other words, its offices will close, but the actual TikTok app will remain in Canada. Go figure.

  • Everyone in Ontario should remember Christian Vitela's name and share Christian Vitela's name across social media, so that people are aware of Christian Vitela penchant for human trafficking and mistreating people who worked for him.

  • I had to take a break from lemmy for a few days due to shit like this. The reporting is fine but I've had it with every third story being yet more proof of the dumbfuckery that is Trump.

    This will be the last time (for a while anyway) that I acknowledge even reading another stupid headline about him.

  • Personally, I think it would be great to give this particular flag the same protections as a civic flag.

    It already is protected.

    “The National Flag Act states that no strata has the authority to tell citizens they can’t fly the Canadian flag, and the Flag Act acknowledges that there are other flags,” said Parke, though there’s no express permission to fly an Indigenized Canadian flag.

  • The federal minister of Indigenous services says her government plans to reintroduce legislation to ensure First Nations' rights to clean drinking water — despite calls from Alberta and Ontario for it to scrap the bill altogether.

    Trust Drug Fraud and the Devil Siren to deny people fresh potable water.
