Another thread on the messages that I have received from people of Indian origin on the international student issue. This one is from an international student.

I have screened any info that can potentially identify them.

THALIDOMIDE 2.0?
A group of toxic chemicals used in a vast array of products ranging from non-stick cookware to fire-retardants to soap has now shown up in a popular brand of juice. Canadians need to exert pressure on the government to ensure public safety.
A short thread.
1/16 By the rarest of chances, I recently picked up this book from my local library, written by the US lawyer who fought a 2 decades-long battle with the chemicals company Du Pont over the health hazards posed by a class of chemicals collectively known as PFAS.

Let's examine the claim that "Trudeau is helping the WEF implement their agenda" in the context of Bill S-233 (asking the FinMin to design a version of UBI).

Let's look at the series of *legislative* events that need to happen in order for UBI to be ushered in.

Thread. 1/6 Bill S-233 is in the 2nd reading stage in the Senate. It would have to survive a vote at that stage & proceed to stage 3. It would then have to survive another vote so it can proceed to the House of Commons. 2/6

Between 1970 and 2019, the actual number of hospital beds in Canada WENT DOWN BY 54,000.

Thread

(Links for data in a later tweet in the thread)

1/7 Canada 1970:

Population: 21.32 million

Hospital beds per 1,000 of population: 7.0

Actual number of beds: (21.32 million / 1,000) x 7.0 = 149,240

Rounded DOWN to 149,000
