David Fisman and Raina MacIntyre are taking out the trash: exposing academic dishonesty and fraud.

The fraud was committed by John Conly and other criminals who ran a fake mask study in order to try to get out from under the crimes-against-humanity charges they may be facing for preventing nurses from getting N95s.

Among other ways Conly committed fraud, he kept changing the study parameters when it wasn't giving his desired results.

Don’t worry, Alberta isn’t defying Canada’s constitution. It’s just rewriting it

Despite all of its disclaimers, the Danielle Smith government’s sovereignty bill is exactly the breathtaking power grab that it says it is

At 06:30am, BBC 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 announced:
The cost of living crisis has left many unpaid carers feeling invisible, undervalued & under pressure.
Cut to the Director of the Carers Trust Scotland, Louise Morgan, who opened with a fact…
“In Scotland we are slightly better off because there’s a carers allowance supplement.”
By the 07:30 report, she had gone.
Reporting Scotland have dropped the story.

I am just feeling so lost today. We adopted two cats back in 2011, one of whom had a chronic illness and needed lots of care. He died in 2019 & just two months later our other cat developed organ failure at only age 8 & sadly had to be put to sleep today.
Now I'm at home with no pets for the first time in 15 years, no medication to give, no food to coax, no more vet appointments. And I'm at a complete loss.
Losing my pets is harder than most of the human deaths.
RIP Pistachio & Cashew
