The Canadian Anti-Hate Network is proudly antifascist, and that means we have critics. In 2019, Jon and Barbara Kay shared an article which says that we fund violence. This is a lie. One of our board members sued them as an individual because he was named in the article.

Transphobia leads to violence. This is the second bomb scare that the school has received. And, just like Boston Children's Hospitals and the hospitals in the US who have experienced the same, it's kids who are also impacted.

More broadly, it's been a universal tactic of quacks since long before I took an interest in countering medical misinformation a couple of decades ago.

So no, your toddler doesn’t need to catch all the viruses before the age of 2 to “build their immune system.” In fact it’s the opposite, infants and young toddlers are more at risk of hospitalization and death from many respiratory viruses at their age than older children.

FAILED COVID CONTROL:

But then things take a turn worse.

In Nov/Dec 2021, like so many of our leaders worldwide, BC looked at the incoming data on the new variant of concern, omicron, and threw up their hands in defeat.

The data show clearly how much damage this did.

[Dr Ellie Murray, ScD @EpiEllie]

Last week, the BC CDC posted a pre-print estimating past COVID infections in Vancouver & southern BC.

This study is a testament to the successful pre-omicron prevention efforts of the BC covid team and a damning indictment of the failed response to omicron & sub-variants.

Content warning: Police brutality and violence.
A video has surfaced online of an Edmonton police officer violently pushing an unsuspecting woman to the ground.

[🟠🇵🇸🧛‍♂️Anti-Racist News & Watch @YYCantiracist]

Video of pokice pushing an unsuspecting woman with a knife (police claim). Can't make out a knife. The police are not investigating and reassure there is no need. The public are not convinced. It would be in the best interest of @edmontonpolice to release footage.

[Karen Cutter @KarenCutter4]

And REALLY interesting.
"In a secondary analysis of persons without recent infection, no additional excess deaths were found."
Wow.

[Karen Cutter @KarenCutter4]

Here's where it gets interesting.
Non-covid excess deaths "can be explained by patients who passed away from other illnesses within 90 days after being infected with COVID-19. In other words, COVID-19 aggravated existing illnesses, resulting in further mortalities."

[Roddy 🇨🇦 @RodKahx]

2020: Stay Home
2021: Get vaccinated
2022: Yay, Covid is over
2023: Why didn't you tell us that even a mild infection can leave a long lasting disability?

Pierre Poilievre simultaneously screeching over inflation for the last year and now promoting crypo currency is actually hilarious

[Josh K 🌹 @josh_nc]

Like he linked inflation to affordability which is correct. But crypto is MUCH more volatile than a real currency

The tragedy in Pakistan is a stark reminder of climate injustice. The top map shows which nations are most responsible for excess emissions. The bottom map shows which nations are most impacted by it. Climate breakdown is playing out along colonial lines.

[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

Shutting down our schools was extremely harmful to our kids.

Not only did it harm their education, it contributed to the ballooning youth mental health crisis & robbed them of so many positive experiences that all of us had growing up, but they missed. (1/3)

What he's effectively saying here is that poor people shouldn't get a higher education.

Which makes sense because Ben Shapiro hates poor people
