Great piece by @HadleyFreeman in Britain’s @thetimes about the Great unmarked graves social panic of 2021-26. The story makes Canadians look like gullible idiots, but it’s a valuable international case study in mass hysteria & journalistic incompetence

If you find any mass graves in Kamloops, let us know
Also, please let the @nytimes know
This nonsense from @ianrausten is still on their web site, along with all his other bungled articles on the subject

Strange, I don’t recall the CBC condemning the “politicization” of George Floyd’s murder by the far left.

[Gobbo in Canada ⚫⚪🇨🇦 @TheQuim]

Stripping citizenship for political opinions—like preferring US alignment—is a dangerous precedent that weakens free speech, not Canada. Your own record as Premier & Immigration Minister helped fuel the Western alienation and rapid demographic changes you're now condemning. Fix equalization, resource policy & integration instead of loyalty tests. Albertans' frustrations are real.

I've done my CAC with amazing results and I'm up for my CT Coronary Angiography to determine precisely what I have.

12 years on a high fat journey, and the biomarkers come back clean except for the one that Canadian doctors refuse to look past...the LDL numbers.

Well done @nicknorwitz

🚨New Paper: "Seven Years of 700 Cholesterol Without Coronary Atherosclerosis: A Lean Mass Hyper-Responder Case Report"

Link: https://t.co/5VnRpZlFdR

For the past 7 years, I’ve been running what is essentially a natural experiment in cholesterol and heart health.

During that time, I’ve largely lived with:

👉Total cholesterol around 700 mg/dl
👉LDL cholesterol between 500–600 mg/dL

I recently underwent advanced coronary CT angiography imaging with AI-guided analysis. This is not a CAC. It measures all plaque (soft + calcified), with expert interpretation and AI-guided analysis capable of quantifying plaque down to the cubic millimeter (mm3).

Now, to address the obvious question:

Am I too young for plaque?

In brief: No.

The clearest comparison is individuals with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, who often have similarly extreme LDL/ApoB levels and can develop advanced plaque as toddlers, and even heart attacks as early as age 8.

Also, nutrition influencers in their 30s have publicly shared quantified plaque scores from these same imaging technologies. In one recent case, a plant-based influencer in his thirties was found to have 61.3 mm³ of plaque despite having far lower lifetime LDL exposure. (He can identify himself if he so chooses.)

My case also isn’t a one-off.

There are many individuals like me, including older individuals with similar LDL-C and ApoB without any plaque.

The difference is that I’m an unusually well-characterized subject, with extensive metabolic data and health markers tracked over time. You can learn more at the newsletter or open-access paper, linked above.

The science of heart health is not settled. And cholesterol is not a simple story.

Dear @MarkJCarney, will this result in an increase or decrease in Jew-hatred in Canada?

@DonaldWelsh16 @jonkay @Quillette I would like to see Jon admit it wasn't roses as well.

The hardest thing one can do Donald is actually admit they were wrong...one of the worst human flaws to actually overcome...

But, he's bang on here

My latest for @quillette, on lessons for journalists to prevent the next unmarked-graves-type social panic. Lesson #1: Stop treating Indigenous sources as if they were sacred mystics who channel unfalsifiable "knowings." Like all of us, they make mistakes

[Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker @Martyupnorth]

"Indigenous Peoples have been stewards of the lands and waters in Canada since time immemorial."

Today, they are helping shape Canada’s future by... [checks notes] running casinos, clear-cutting treaty lands for development, operating massive garbage dumps on reserves, demanding endless taxpayer billions while exercizing shockingly little tranparancy and governance.

This National Indigenous History Month, we honour the romantic fiction that one group of humans magically floated above human nature for 15,000+ years while everyone else was busy being flawed.

First Nations, Inuit, and Métis are people... exactly like you and me. Not supernatural keepers of the land. Not inherently greener. Not morally pristine custodians exempt from criticism.

Enough of this bullshit.

I'm prepared to go to jail over this.

My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life.

My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma.

I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development.

I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child.

I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings.

Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences.

No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics.

The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate.

The path forward is empathy for past attendees.
The path forward is truth based on facts.
The path forward is real conversations.
The path forward is to lean into complexity.

If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations.

If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.

When white parents produce white children, they are apparently contributing to an increase in white supremacy. I learned this in the Intersectional Islamic Demography course that I took with @ZohranKMamdani's dad.
