@CBCHereandNow Gardening questions for Paul: my veggie garden was taken over by spider mites this year. How can I prevent them next year? Should I replace all the soil in my raised beds? Or plant entirely different veggies? And what’s the best way to treat them when I see them?

With #monkeypox now a global health emergency, Canadian researchers and advocates are working furiously to stem the spread and support those affected.

Thanks to @OliviaBowden__ for covering #UofTEPIC's monkeypox rapid research response initiative!

[U of T Emerging and Pandemic Infections Consortium @UofTEPIC]

As #monkeypox cases rose around the world, EPIC members @UofT, @Sunnybrook, @UHN and @UnityHealthTO quickly mobilized to initiate a rapid research response. The data from these projects will help inform the province and the country's public health response to the outbreak.

These were the same questions my 4 yo asked me yesterday when we talked about the shoes and the children who were taken from their families and didn’t come home.

“What were their names?”
“Why didn’t the police help?”
“Are the bad guys in jail?”
“Are they going to take me?”

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

Where is the list of the children’s names? Why didn’t the police investigate? What in God’s name are they doing now? It’s time to bring our children home from the residential schools, by @TanyaTalaga https://t.co/Mfa40zrKWN via @GlobeDebate #reconciliation #EveryChildMatters
