This is bad news. This is very bad news.

The US government has stopped the funding of PubMed, the most comprehensive database of biomedical literature.

Why would you do this? This database it literally a matter of life and death.

Who else thinks it’s time to put Terry Fox on the $5 bill? It should’ve been done years ago!

Doug Ford cares about one thing: making his rich friends richer. That’s what his billion-dollar boozedoggle is all about.

He’s not for workers. He’s not for the Ontario wineries or craft breweries whose main retailer is closed. He’s not for the small business restaurants who are facing patio season with added complications.

He’s for the big box stores and big American breweries.

We’re on the side of the people of Ontario.

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

The Ministry of Education has changed the way schools are funded, eliminating protected funding for school libraries and library staff.

Let the Ford government and Education Minister @ToddSmithPC know that every student in Ontario needs a properly funded and staffed school library!

The Ministry of Education has introduced a new education funding model, eliminating a protected funding envelope for school library staff & resources. We are rallying our community to stand with school library professionals. #SaveOurSchoolLibraries https://t.co/qBSx0mTGcg

Immediately following the initial attacks on the World Trade Center, tunnels were closed, and traffic fleeing Manhattan via bridges reached a standstill.

Many civilians, especially in those neighborhoods closest to the attacks, were desperate to escape the island but had no way to do so.

Luckily, their salvation came like lightning. A coast guard transmission went out. “All available boats,” it said. “This is the United States Coast Guard… Anyone wanting to help with the evacuation of Lower Manhattan report to Governors Island.”

Within minutes, around 150 private ships of all shapes, sizes, and purposes reported for duty and got to work. All told, these heroic captains transported around 500,000 people away from the disaster zone.

This came to be known as the 9/11 Boat Lift, which to this day, is the largest water evacuation in history.

@QuinteRecycles Thank you.

[Karen Morrow @knichollsmorrow]

@QuinteRecycles Can plastic Amazon sleeves go out for recycling with plastics? I imagine other members of the public would like to know. Thanks!

@QuinteRecycles is “crinkly” plastic recyclable yet? I feel guilty each time I throw out bags that grapes, cheese, etc are packaged in.
