This is the same criticism that caused the original sale of Connaught Labs (publicly owned vaccine developer). Market efficiency isn’t the goal; the ability to rapidly develop and distribute vaccines in an emergency is. The only problem is over-emphasizing Novavax as the sole manager/client of the new operation.

The 2025-27 Bike Plan is a big disappointment considering four cyclists were killed this year & it falls short of our TransformTO climate goals. My latest blog post discusses the plan & calls on Mayor Olivia Chow to demand more. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2024/05/torontos-bike-plan-recycling-act.html
Jean-François Lisée is Liséeing again. So, now would be a good time to remind you that he once spent at least 18 hours on twitter arguing that the Shoah was an example of anti-white racism.
This event, alone, should, in a sane society, be disqualifying from ever offering an opinion in public ever again. But, given how "cancel" culture actually works, he has a regular gig on Radio Canada and at Le Devoir.

Amazing really how long the gap is between 1.5 being completely dismissed within the scientific community (it essentially had been when I left a decade ago), and politics/media catching on... which is frankly very unfair on most people - who just won't really know the scale of what's coming, because how would they.
Last fall, Pierre Poilievre blamed Prime Minister Trudeau for a diplomatic chill with India.
a) It has been revealed that India interfered in the Conservative leadership race in favour of Poilievre.
b) When it came to the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil, #Poilievre believed India's prime minister, Modi, over our own Canadian intelligence services.
Add this to PP's spectacular record of being wrong on everything of consequence.

Its not complicated.
Genocide is wrong.
I hope the youth continue to escalate.
I've been an adult for 22 years, voted regularly, and have continued to only experience Ratchet Politics that have cost me liberties, protections, & autonomy.
Enough is enough, & one vote one Tuesday in November is but a thread in the tapestry of collective actions available. Use them all.
tl;dr this is all @stephanie@ottawa.place 's fault.
