Wait, wait, wait, so half of Americans are happy subsidizing Musk's Starships that cost $200 million each to just blow up, but think healthcare for everyone is wrong?
That is so messed up.
I'm going to start calling this mapleturfing. Fuck US goods pretending to be Canadian.
Campbells' soup sold in Canada now has a maple leaf on the label. Their website has had a maple leaf next to their logo since October 2023.

Campbell's has not had Canadian manufacturing since 2018 when they shut down their last Canadian plant.

Attached: 1 image Worth noting there are a few version of Campbell's soup can packaging out there so I took a screenshot of this one for sale on amazon.ca (there's a double whammy for you). Note that the address on this Campbell's soup can is just a last-mile distribution facility. There has been no production at this location since 2018. It is not, in fact. "prepared in Canada". #maplewashing #mapleturfing #BuyCanadian #Canada
This is from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We've been betrayed. Now it's time for Elbows Up.

Prior to Covid it was normal to mask in the NICU. People understood that premature babies are as vulnerable as they come and need to protected.
Now? Gowns & gloves but no masking.
The damage caused by anti mask rhetoric will be felt for years (possibly decades) to come.
Mask mandates belong in healthcare. We should be providing free respirators at the door & cleaning and ventilating the air.
If you’re a healthcare worker who doesn’t think you need to mask, please read my plea on behalf of vulnerable patients:

We know masks in healthcare stop the spread of airborne disease. We know they reduce the risk of hospital acquired COVID (which has a 10% mortality rate).
We know respirators work even better.
So why aren’t we masking? Why are patients having to bear the brunt of infection control?
