NACI reportedly weighing on science dust-up?

Health Canada, EU EMA, FDA, Fauci, manufacturers, Nemer favour current 21-28 day interval between doses until science shows otherwise

Henry, BC CDC, Oxford U, and now NACI favour extending up to four months theglobeandmail.com/canada/article… Fauci: “science doesn’t support delaying a second dose...insufficient evidence of benefit of a single Pfizer or Moderna dose - or data showing how long the immunity conferred by one shot would last...you don’t know how durable that protection is”

The America I admire. Good to see it amidst this other awful stuff.

How misinformation/disinformation hurts all of us.

1/x #cdnpoli huffingtonpost.ca/entry/trudeau-… “Candidates eager to talk about Trudeau govt putting a price on carbon, phasing out coal-fired electricity, curbing methane emissions, and making large investments in greener transit and clean tech were met with comments such as “Yeah, but you bought a pipeline.”

I recognize this is a pretty important 🇨🇦 Canadian discussion we are having. And in some ways, long overdue. I hope it proceeds in as honest and constructive fashion as possible. The last things we need are more misunderstanding.
1/x #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/6178201/b… I am hopeful M Blanchet brings a fresh approach to Parliament, a renewed engagement in the wider national discussion and range of topics rather than a detached Bloc interested in only a subset of topics.

“His plan doesn’t even have goals” is emblematic of the broken conversation Canadians have regarding what should be among the more serious, more thoughtful, political topics in a nation blessed with the world’s most abundant and greatest array of natural resources.
1/n #cdnpoli Agriculture, air, fish, hydro, land, minerals, natural gas, oil, seafood, solar, water, wind, wood..there is no nation on earth blessed with a greater variety and abundance of natural resources than 🇨🇦.

My usually-accurate friend @VassyKapelos mentioned today, in the course of a thoughtful @PnPCBC interview with Ontario Minister @GregRickford regarding Bill C-69 that “it’s not like pipelines were getting built, nor were they under the last government...”
#cdnpol 1/x The statement was promptly corrected by both Minister and host, narrowing the reference to pipelines “to tidewater”. But as this comment is often heard (and a pet peeve for those of us who work on such projects), perhaps some data would be appreciated all round.

@BradleySumner @FairQuestions It wasn’t oil sands companies foreign founders went after; highly regulated, good record of approval.
Foreign funding explicitly went after pipelines, figuring
(a) only had to cause problems in one or two locales along route;
(b) they could bottle up production @BradleySumner @FairQuestions You are correct, pipeline companies were unprepared for grassroots battle. Foreign funders dressed up as local grassroots orgs; blocked four pipeline projects (1 new, 3 expansions):
- Energy East (conversion)
- Gateway (new)
- Keystone (XL extension)
- Trans Mountain (expansion)

Biased history 1/4:
CBC : “Macdonald's govt introduced a Chinese head tax, requiring Chinese people to pay $50 to come to Canada - that would eventually grow to an exorbitant $500. He also called the Chinese ‘a semi-barbaric, inferior race.’"
#cdnpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/br… Biased history 2/6:
The name of the PM who raised the Chinese head tax from $50 to “an exorbitant $500”?
Wilfrid Laurier.
Laurier:”In my opinion, there is not much room for the Chinaman in Canada. He displaces a good Canadian, or a good British subject."
