Further to OJ’s post this morning, SDA regular Denise wrote that she was at the protest. Here’s what she shared:
Less than two weeks before classes begin, London’s Western University (formerly The University of Western Ontario) mandated three Covid shots, the ONLY university in Canada to do so. Students held an #EnoughIsEnoughWestern rally on Saturday: great speakers and wonderful energy, but what struck me most were the many sad, serious, young faces. These aren’t the best years of their lives, and Western just made it worse.
Most wars start out with the widespread belief that victory will be quick and easy. When things drag on with no prospect of victory, the economic damage eventually forces some sort of reckoning. It looks like the price of that reckoning is getting steeper by the minute.
As of Friday, 70% of capacity is offline across the continent, according to Fertilizers Europe, representing top regional producers.
“The current crisis begs for a swift and decisive action from EU and national policymakers for both energy and fertilizer market,” Jacob Hansen, director general of Fertilizers Europe, said in a statement.
Producers from Norway’s Yara International ASA to CF Industries to Borealis AG recently reduced or halted production because European NatGas prices hit a record high of 343 euros per megawatt hour, making it uneconomical to operate.
Metsä Tissue has previously announced temporary production stoppages at its plants in Germany and Slovakia earlier this year, and the situation has deteriorated further since then.
The company sells its products under various brands — including Lambi and Serla — and has a total of nine paper mills in Europe.

The facts are simple. The AAP initially put forth the right decision, “recommending that education leaders and policymakers “should start with a goal of having students physically present in school” by fall of 2020.
Then Trump famously voiced his full-throated support for reopening schools 100% by the fall, and cited the AAP report as evidence he was correct. (For the record: Trump was correct about this one issue).
The AAP immediately began walking back support for children. The AAP president said, “local coronavirus infection rates and hot spots have to be taken into consideration to safely reopen schools.” But, this was inaccurate. European experience showed that reopening was possible irrespective of local infection rates; Kids could benefit from school, even in places with high spread, and schools could safely reopen even there.

Demonstrations at woke Canadian universities is a common thing. Protests by Marxists, abortion groups, Palestinians etc. are encouraged. You can even toss paint on statues, tear them down, and rename universities. However organize a protest against Trudeau’s vaccines, and its called dangerous. Why there might even be a bouncy castle.
A few weeks ago I was exploring Amarillo’s historic Route 66 neighbourhood and came across this store. Inside I discovered a large colour poster featuring a man in an RCMP uniform and a pretty woman beside him. It turned out to be promoting the 1936 film, Rose Marie, set in the Canadian wilderness. Lo and behold, the film is online!

An Italian man on a ‘condomless’ sex escapade with men in Spain tested positive for HIV, Covid-19, and monkeypox simultaneously – the first known case to have all three viral diseases, according to a case study in the Journal of Infection.

Albritton is booked out 30 days in advance, compared to the usual 90 to 160 days. Meanwhile, his costs have gone up by more than 30% across the board.

Excess mortality in Germany 2020–2022 is a preprint by Christof Kuhbandner (a psychologist at Regensburg) and Matthias Reitzner (a statistician at Osnabrück) that applies sophisticated actuarial analysis to the publicly available all-cause mortality data provided by the German government. It turns out that when you account for historical mortality trends, the virus no longer looks so dangerous, and the vaccines no longer look so great.
