Women were told to use Lysol for “feminine hygiene.”
We now know it causes harm and isn’t recommended.
Some of these messages haven’t disappeared — they’ve just been rebranded.
Happy International Women’s Day! Just 100 years ago, women couldn’t access contraception, couldn’t open a bank account without a husband, and were largely excluded from the medical research that determined how drugs and treatments work.
Today we still have to fight to be believed about our pain, our symptoms, and our right to control our own bodies. Progress didn’t just happen. Women fought like hell for it.
@shailinthomas My significant other is a colorectal surgeon/oncologist and the rates at which he is seeing colon cancers, especially in young people, are terrifying. People like OP who spread fear despite having NO actual knowledge of the field are violating our oath to “do no harm”
Late in 2025, the Supreme Court of Canada issued a controversial 5-4 decision in Attorney General of Quebec v. Senneville that struck down mandatory minimum one-year jail sentences for possessing and accessing child sexual abuse material (CSAEM).
CSAEM is a gateway, and the marketing department for human trafficking.
103 days ago, I asked @SeanFraserMP to move to reverse the Supreme Court ruling on child sexual abuse and exploitation material by invoking the notwithstanding clause which is a vital constitutional tool designed exactly for moments like this. He won’t.
Every moment that passes puts more children at risk.
It’s important to denounce and prohibit activities that hurt kids.
This is a series of statements by real Canadians explaining why they have signed at the link below. Please join the thousands who have signed. Stand up for kids today. https://t.co/BlpNABT0PQ
It's good once in a while to discuss the difference between correlation and causation.
85% of people who get into car crashes may have had cereal for breakfast.
This doesn't mean, however, that car crashes are caused by cereal.
I mention this today for…no reason whatsoever.

There’s a measles outbreak. Kids are getting sick—and it’s completely preventable.
But the UCP is silencing health experts and letting ideology guide public health.
They won’t say it, so we will:
Get your kids vaccinated. It could save their lives.
Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
