So a story on the local tv news (cbc.ca) claims there is immunity debt which is resulting in increased illness. Dr. Earl Brown

but there is this story

https://globalnews.ca/news/9272293/immunity-debt-covid-19-misinformation/

So is immunity debt nonsense?
Dr. Earl Brown is a virologist but not an immunologist.

I'm trying to understand why people care about recharging stations for EVs when 99.99% of driving is inside the city. Are we so crazily used to driving at random to another city that we must have charging stations everywhere?

"Van der Wee said Alstom is working on installing a pin to hold the nut in place "

Isn't that just a castle nut?

Listened to a woman one CBC saving money on groceries by buying across the border. They then turned to an economist who pointed out that one of the reasons for less expensive food was wages were lower. Of course he failed to take into account the costs of health care.

Sadly I still see art/photos/graphics I'd love to boost but it does not have alt-text. You don't need much. "A photo of a red bird" is fine, although sometimes the alt-text does give a lot of nice context!

Sat outside reading for a bit, very nice! Very amused to be distracted by a squirrel finding a treat and then laughing as it chased another squirrel out of the yard.

The worst problem of winter driving is other drivers who haven't noticed they need to slow down.

There is a car, in Ne-pean, that drives into the Rising Sun!
And many a poor driver has been led astray by the rays of the Rising Sun!

I won't give up my day job. I promise.

Death threats?? Politics has become very toxic... Sadly.. Politicians being accosted on the street with the hint of being hit or worse...

P.S. My family immigrated to Kitley township roughly 1823 so this caught my attention that way too.

I've not checked on the NCC site but does anyone know if the canal is actually freezing now? Maybe a chance of canal skating this year?

The term "Propaganda" gets an emotional response from many as connotations of state actors nefariously producing material to change people's minds yet the techniques used in propaganda are still used to this day in advertising. Using basic skills one can unwrap many of the tricks advertisers use to persuade people to buy their product.

I have a small tiny "toy" solar system up (400w solar/200w battery) but looking for decent upgrades. Anyone in Ottawa have experience? I'm OK with some DIY but not sure about roof work on Bungalow water leaks etc.

Every time I see a lost cat sign taped to a mailbox I remember hearing about the Coyote a neighbour saw in her backyard.

Keep your cats inside for your cats safety and wild bird safety.
