Thanks @GordJohns @NDP for calling on Health minister @MarjoriePLC to finalize 5-yr-old regulations that would ban sweet & fruity flavours in #ecigs to protect youth from nicotine addiction as done by @GouvQc & @MinVWS without increasing smoking [@WHO @DrTedros recommendation]

A cancer vaccine, using the same core mRNA technology as the COVID vaccine, has shown an almost 50% reduction in the risk of melanoma recurrence or death when combined with immunotherapy.
This is why we fund MRNA technology.

ALT A group of about 10-12 people standing on an upper balcony or mezzanine level indoors, leaning over a railing and waving enthusiastically toward the camera or below. Most are smiling or cheering, dressed in winter coats and casual clothing. In the foreground, they hold a large white banner with bold black handwritten text reading "THANK YOU CANADA" across two lines, with a small green maple leaf drawing on the left side. The background shows a beige or light-colored wall. The photo has a slightly grainy, older digital quality.

I want to show you the iron lung at Boston Children’s Hospital. Before the polio vaccine, hospitals were filled with iron lungs. RFK Jr. wants to drag us back to those dark days. Vaccines save lives. America’s children deserve health, safety, and science—not conspiracy.

This is a book in my home library about the awful meningococcal meningitis epidemic Texas experienced before we widely implemented the vaccine. It’s one of 6 diseases MAHA DHHS and their pseudoscience wants to bring back. Remember, they don’t care about you or your family

A reminder: in the past, when a singer's mic cut out during the U.S. National Anthem at a hockey game in Canada, the entire arena stepped in, singing every single word of the Star Spangled Banner together.
Tonight, thanks to Trump, Canada is booing during the National Anthem.

Sometimes threats can force positive long-term change. This is such a moment. In addition to counter-tariffs, Canada must also focus, more than ever before, on improving its labour productivity, lowering interprovincial trade barriers, and increasing its defence spending.

46,000 Canadians die each year from tobacco use. Before court approval in January, we hope the proposal is amended to fund education & prevention programs. This is critical to empower informed decisions & reduce the devastating toll of commercial tobacco. cbc.ca/news/health/tobacco-l…
