The 10 year journey that started in my lab at BioQuadrant in 2009 has come to a successful conclusion. Congratulations to Montreal’s Locemia Solutions and @LillyDiabetes for obtaining FDA approval for Baqsimi nasal glucagon!

This is a perfectly reasonable stance, and one which I fully support. It is also squarely at odds with the approach that has been adopted by the Carney Liberals, which is severely misguided.

@rmnft_art @MarkJCarney @TheClash @PunkRockStory @NewWaveAndPunk @soundstoryuk @YouTube Great minds think alike.

@rmnft_art @JefferyPetts Yes. And it’s all Poilievre’s fault. Had CPC chosen Charest as leader, the outcome of the election could have been different. Poilievre only gave us slogans and a return to plastic straws.

@bsoenensvrt 😤Canada bows to Trump? Boot licking?Read the room Björn. Canada hit back with $155 billion in tariffs. Politicians left, right, progressive, conservative, Quebec nationalists all came out swinging towards Trump this week. The anger/betrayal is real.
