    Child hospitalizations are spiking. Did COVID lockdowns create 'immunity debt'?

    Sikh independence referendum in Canada unfolds amid angry clashes, India's condemnation

    https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/sikh-independence-referendum-clashes-and-condemnation Interesting and obviously bad for Canada-India relations (which were already strained thanks to trudeau's little costume faux pas and inviting a guy who tried to kill the gov't to dinner).

    More than 300 new mines needed to meet electric vehicle demand, says analyst

    Now, you think about how much gas and such has to be used to open those mines and 'mine' them... then the fact that in most of the world the electricity comes from burning fossil fuels anyway.... Not to mention that it doesn't sound like we're going to be able to open that many mines in...

    338Canada projects Conservative victory if election held right now (just barely :) )

    Well that's the first time we've see a projection that actually has the CPC as MOST likely to win in about 6 years. Obviously a win like that would be nothing to get excited about.
