Why do some people hate cyclists so much? "The anti-cycling hysteria is out of all proportion to the danger cyclists pose to society." https://t.co/Nsv3lkKXYv

Hi, ER Doc here.

Did you know that bystander CPR can double or triple the chances of survival from cardiac arrest? This is how it works.

Life is precious. Learn CPR.

Exactly. And today, all major Canadian print media is owned by Corporations, card carrying Conservatives, or both. Even the Star.

tl;dr — The data shows that CERB didn't cause a labour shortage. That's a false myth that's distracting us from the real solutions.

CERB was actually an emergency basic income that was a lifeline for millions of Canadians and kept our economy from the worst case scenario.

I painted Canada’s second largest ski area, @SunPeaksResort, in 2019. Perspective was a challenge thanks to the resort’s layout across three mountains: Tod Mountain, Sundance Mountain and Mt. Morrisey. The local area averages over 2000 hours of sunshine per year!

Don’t get your virology analysis from people with no expertise in virology who can most charitably be described as misunderstanding how viral evolution works. It’s pretty simple: slow the spread = less transmission = less replication = less mutation = fewer new variants.

Great approach to reforesting - Planting trees is still a great way to fight climate change — especially if you use drones https://t.co/zgCkOhIv2M

It is genuinely bonkers that this was an actual policy proposal from supposedly serious scientists

One of the BIGGEST things Toronto City Council could do for a better, more responsible city would be to cancel the Gardiner East car-focused rebuild.

This is the bike-lane network Toronto could build with JUST 2% of what it’ll cost to rebuild the Gardiner East. #ClimateCrisis

According to the folks placing these jersey barriers across the new @thegarneau bike lane, these are to prevent cars from diving and parking in the lanes. Also prevents cyclists from using them as well. Seriously? #yegbike @bikeedmonton @michaeljanz @CityofEdmonton
