@amandalhu @yyCBEdu @FDArecalls Amanda, please make a Health Product Complaint to @GovCanHealth using this form.

Their Compliance & Risk Management Unit confirmed today they are working my complaint about the BYD FE2411 Children's Masks that LaGrange/Hinshaw claim are "medical-grade". ImageImage

There are only 27 items on that list. They are not that hard to spot.

@evaferguson2 22Jan:

“Working with our supplier Grand & Toy, we have ordered approximately 82,000 N95 equivalent masks,” said CBE spokeswoman Joanne Anderson.

$80K for 82K N95 is too good to be true. Red flag to investigate before buying.

CMOH & Minister should be setting standard for procurement, not pushing a specific supplier.

Package says "Non-medical" but also "GB2626" (China's respirator standard close enough to N95 that 🇨🇦🇺🇸 accept it.)

No legit manufacturer would make such a stupid contradiction.

en.szbolisi.com/index.php?c=sh…

Hence it says FFP2 NR (no re-use) and EN 149-2001 + A1:2009 and CE number.

What CCSD bought makes no CE claim, and redundantly says KN95. No certificate inside either. ImageImageImageImage

They wear the masks around vulnerable people at home.

They may even wear them when their partner gives birth, exposing partner & newborn.

But...

Pls note:
• these N95 have been recalled in both Canada 🇨🇦 + USA 🇺🇸
• "not intended to be used as respirators that require special fittings" ?!

Maybe talk to a good lawyer, Mr Usih.

Unlike CBE, which ridiculously defended its purchase of recalled N95, CCSD has been quiet. Here's the recall process FYI.

1. Did Grand & Toy supply these N95 ⬆️to CBE?
2. Grand & Toy is not licensed to import Class I medical devices. Image

In Alberta, babies under 1 year old are getting clobbered by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and it is overloading our children's hospitals:
• Hospitalized at 36x the rate of average Albertan
• Hospital & ICU at 3x rate of COVID in babies under 1

Line Graph and Table of Total hospital admissions, ICU admissions, and deaths among laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases in Alberta by age group, 2024-2025
Typical LaGrange-style quote in reporting by @JenLeeCBC:

"In a statement emailed to CBC News, a spokesperson said the hospital is seeing an increase in respiratory admissions, which "aligns with seasonal trends.""

Likely untrue, despite the vagueness.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Expecting mothers should speak with their family physician or obstretician (like @FionaMattatall) about getting vaccinated during their pregnancy to protect their newborns. (I'm not a doc)

RSV shots are $1000 each, but perhaps other immunizations.

Alberta is projected to have its worst influenza vaccine coverage since 2010-2011.

9 weeks into this year's flu shot campaign, we're at 19%. Last year, we were at 23%.

This whole season's coverage projects to 22%.
• last yr 25%
• 2011/12 was 23%

alberta.ca/stats/dashboar…Line graph of cumulative weekly immunizations showing at week 50 of this year's campaign (9 weeks in) 929,380 shots administered so far, which is only 90% of last year's 1,037,278 at the same time.
Line graph of cumulative weekly immunizations showing at week 50 of this year's campaign (9 weeks in) the coverage for all ages is 18.9%
Line graph of cumulative weekly immunizations showing at week 50 of last year's campaign (9 weeks in) 1,037,278 shots administered so far
Line graph of cumulative weekly immunizations showing at week 50 of last year's campaign (9 weeks in) the coverage for all ages was 22.7%.
Seniors 65+, at week 50, 9 weeks into the campaign:
• This year, only 49.2% coverage.
• Last year, 59.4% coverage.

LaGrange's arrogant, deceptive decision to cut off community medical clinics obviously figures largely in this drop.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…2024 vaccine coverage for certain ages at week 50, showing only 49.2% for age 65+
2023 vaccine coverage for certain ages at week 50, showing 59.4% for age 65+
Both last year and this year, peak weekly flu shots administered was in week 42:
• This yr, only 243,207
• Last yr, 330,264

Many of us are now off from school or work for the Xmas holidays. Good time to get vaccinated. It should help you for January return to school or work. Column graph of weekly flu shots administered, showing in week 42: • This yr, only 243,207
Column graph of weekly flu shots administered, showing in week 42: • Last yr, 330,264
Table of Influenza vaccine doses administered and coverage by season and provider, showing: • 2010-2011 was 20% • 2011-2012 was 23% • 2023-2024 (last year) was 25% • 2024-2025 to data at week 50 only 19%

3-min video posted 31 Oct 2024 by Liricom & Plenary shows what they expect provincial taxpayers to build + operate for them between airport & "Grand Central Station".

Before I get into pros and cons, let me just help you figure out their bizarre colours:
🟧 for Calgary Airport Downtown Express track that is at grade or in the 80th Ave tunnel
🟦 Teal (close enough) for stations
🟨 for track that is elevated from Bow River near zoo to Crowchild
Why does it need to be elevated from south shore of Bow River near Zoo, to Downtown West End before Crowchild?

Because CPKC wouldn't let them stay parallel at grade though downtown. Needed to be elevated to not interfere with freight loading/unloading at grade.

When UCP claims their elevated track & station #GreenlineYYC design through Beltline into Downtown is better than tunnels, but🚩won't release a single rendering, others will.

😱

Visit @yycbeltline web page, where each image is labelled. You barely recognize the streets after.
@yycbeltline Beltline Neighbourhoods Association tries to recreate Dreeshen's claim that only one "non-driving lane" on 10 Av would be affected (after multi-year construction probably closes the whole street) by rendering only a single column for the track and two columns for station.
@yycbeltline They use structural designs from Sunalta, which is 15 m above ground, but have to render two columns straddling reduced 10 Ave to support Beltline station.

Sunalta station is supported by an enclosed building, with interior stairs, escalators & elevator.

Confirmation GoA's plan for Green Line into downtown is terrible:
• no press conf
• nowhere in press release do they state where it crosses the rail tracks, or meets 7 Ave
• only 1 high level map - no renderings or closeup on downtown
• no AECOM quote

alberta.ca/release.cfm?xI…Screenshot of bottom of press release where you would normally see multimedia or backgrounder. Instead, "Related Information" only has "map of proposed downtown elevated route".
1-page PDF with 2 maps on it - previous route and GoA proposal - that are so small and high level you cannot see the "map of proposed downtown elevated route" as touted in the press release link.
@TheBreakdownAB @GregGinYYC @DuaneBratt @CWalcottYYC @jasmine_mian @JyotiGondek @cspotweet @AdamMacVicar @LiveWireCalgary @GreenLineYYC Rick Bell's "exclusive" claims the crossing into downtown is at 2nd Street SW, but I refuse to link to that propaganda. @LiveWireCalgary has always provided excellent, deep journalism on #GreenLine and they confirms the crossing AND the cheap blindside.

livewirecalgary.com/2024/12/13/pro… LWC has asked for a copy of the report done by AECOM for further review. A response has not yet been provided. Calgary city council has also not seen the details, according to several councillors.

With PFC film members leaving Xitter, in last week's PFC, I promised to look into a shared calendar to potentially replace this Community.

Fiona (or anyone else we decide) can create a Google Calendar just for PFC, and share it with specific people.

🧵

support.google.com/calendar/answe…"Share a calendar with specific people" section from link.
My concern about privacy, like everyone's email address shared with everyone else in the group, have been resolved with the oddly-named "See all event details" access permission, which doesn't even show the guest list.

But there are still other privacy concerns I want to check. "Control access to your calendar & individual events" table from link.
Obviously, the owner of the shared calendar would have to know the email addresses of the PFC members who want to subscribe to it.

I don't know if any one of the subscribers can see who the other subscribers are, or their email addresses.
