Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison squirted raw H5N1-containing milk from infected cows into the throats of anesthetized laboratory mice, finding that the virus caused systemic infections after the mice were observed swallowing the dose. The illnesses began quickly, with symptoms of lethargy and ruffled fur starting on day 1. On day 4, the animals were euthanized to prevent extended suffering.
What's your favourite RCMP scandal, #Canada ? Others can play by adding in fun incidents involving their gendarmerie too.
Once upon a time in Alberta, there was an Albertan farmer who complained about the pollution from a nearby oil site. He complained a lot. He might have even tried bombing them. The oil company didn't like him.
The oil company convinced the RCMP to bomb their infrastructure, which they did, so they could pin it on the farmer. The horsey police did so
A 47 yr old #RichmondBC man, who was #convicted of sexual interference of his niece when she was 12 yrs old, was sentenced on Thursday afternoon to almost 2 years of #HouseArrest & 3 yrs of #probation.

The federal agency has been under intense #criticism for months for spending millions on a program to #eradicate fallow #deer on the 9 sq km island, a portion of which is part of the #GulfIslandsNationalParkReserve, while the rest is privately owned.
She said there is “nothing #Indigenous about the RCMP.”
“They can hire Indigenous people but it doesn’t change their many #HumanRights violations and their continued role in #MMIWG. #RibbonSkirts are #sacred & not to be associated with #genocide,” she said, adding whoever thought of the idea should be fired.
..a bigger issue than whether #Pickton survives is the potential destruction of the #evidence.
“I act as legal counsel for 16 children of nine women who were killed by #RobertPickton,” he said. “It’s in their interest to preserve the evidence seized by the #RCMP on the Pickton farm to allow my clients to prove that Robert Pickton & #DavidPickton caused them to suffer loss.”
The previous barriers to land ownership were a holdover from when #Canada considered #Indigenous people and governments to be wards of the government, according to Braker. Before the 1960s, governments required #FirstNations to get the approval of #IndianAgents before buying land.
Even after the practice was abolished, #BritishColumbia had its own #legislation preventing First Nations from holding property.
Dropping a random prediction: Trudeau will resign as Liberal leader this summer. Do I have any specific reasons for this? No. I’m a politically connected nobody. But he can stay on and lose to Pierre, even though he wants a no-gloves campaign against him, but why be another Harper, who knew he had no chance in 2015? I think walking away would be a clutch move for him and take all the wind out of “vote for us because Trudeau is the reason for X, Y, Z” #cdnpoli#canada#elections
