  • Burns said all influenzas mutate and the H5N1 strain that emerged in 2021 is “significantly worse than other strains that we’ve had historically.”

    She said the hope is that wild birds develop more immunity and the virus mutates into a less damaging strain.

    Pandemic researchers worry that avian flu could mutate into a widespread human illness, and Bourque noted human transmission is “always a concern because these viruses can infect mammals, including humans, which is another reason why we don’t want it in our domestic bird population — because it is a threat to humans.”















  • Of the charts I particularly found that Conservatives was voting for “Growing the economy” to be pretty humorous. Before the current Trump crap, Canada was clearly at the top of GDP growth among the G7. GDP has long been a general standard definition of “economy”.

    Then places like the Fraser Institute started with this GDP per person thing which didn’t really even make past Conservatives look good it only made the incumbents look bad. If we’re straying from the general economic talks and into inequality or personal well being then the Conservative trickle down policy looks even worse.




  • The Facebook Cambridge Analytica leak was mostly framed as a privacy thing but people glazed over how all that data was used to target people for politics and that was a decade ago imagine what they can do now.

    On the fake ads front like you said they’re more than happy to accept the ad revenue regardless where it comes from, the platforms is also setting records for user hours and there’s barely any political movements to do anything about it.

    If people are going to keep using those platforms they should be using altered apps and blocking as much of that stuff as they can.
