So just now I have yet another annoying call from what shows up on my call display as TELUS. @TELUS - I'm told with a call at past 6:30 PM in Vancouver, it is from Toronto. It's a male. I ask him how I could know he works for Telus. Response: Laughter. Then I say I want to stop having annoying calls from ?Telus as have been getting them daily either no one says a word and the phone # shows 000 and call clicks off after a few seconds. Or a different person calls stating my name - which I do not acknowledge. This call, this male says can I tell you why

@BCNursesUnion I find it so interesting how in the most recent issue of your magazine: I'm a retired former RN, as representatives of healthcare in BC, in all the photos of RN's gathered for meetings or conferences, only ONE RN was wearing a mask but a poor blue paper mask. Is your entire union group unaware that for all of 2025, the level of Covid in BC has been either high or very high. Currently 1 in 47 BC residents have Covid & not necessarily isolating themselves. WHY ISN'T BCNU following scientific guidelines of masking against aerosol

@Fiona_Hendriks @MeetJess Silliness abounds with your comment unfortunately. Covid isn't a party favour and in fact with the new research the effect on especially the brain with even a mild infection is profoundly affecting frontal lobe functioning of reasoning, emotional control, motivation and is 1/2 @Fiona_Hendriks @MeetJess even causing early dementia. I'm not anxious at all since over these past years during this ongoing pandemic, by masking I have not been infected and thus have kept my brain functioning well along with my cardiovascular system which for many is causing after a Covid infection 2/3

@FLSurgeonGen As someone who worked as a Pediatric and Adult Critical Care RN, BScN & Nurse Clinician x 34 yrs. now retired, I fail to understand your stance on all the anti-science you state when your profile statement includes the words, "...healthy living." To make the comments you do when you should be following ethical guidelines of doing no harm, yet your ideas of drinking raw milk (Not allowed to be sold in Canada), anti-vaccine with your rhetoric, makes me wonder if you do this to get the attention you didn't get when a doctor who was

@mikejwhelan Insurance companies have a template of making money any way possible and that includes either refusing claims or adding many layers of having a simple claim accepted hoping the person will give up. Example: I've had my vehicle damaged. We have a provincial govt. based vehicle 1/2 @mikejwhelan insurance for which I pay nearly $1,000 annually. I never have claims but did notice damage to my vehicle - a scratch, not my fault; so filed a claim. Now instead of their having agents assess damage, it's the body shop. No need to wonder if they don't assess to make as much 2/3

Story from my life: So driving along a residential street, I see a lone miniature collie cross the street obviously lost and quickly turned right to park and see if it would stop for me as I got out and called the dog over. After a bit of looking at me, finally did. Another lady had stopped on the other side of the road thinking was I was and that the dog was lost. Wearing a collar and tags, I was able to hold the collar and read out the multiple phone numbers on the tag to the other woman but no one answered any of the calls and she did text a few too

Reason for this is: A few weeks ago, a very nice male resident in our smaller condo complex who owns a friendly dog was alone & was talking to another dog owner here with her dog who bit him when he went to pat the dog. He needed stitches to his hand. This dog is a Husky type. The man told me later when I saw the bandage on his hand what had happened. He said the female owner said the dog hadn't been well at the time & so he was willing to let 'it' go. He said she apparently was going to muzzle her dog in future and take it to 'classes.' This evening I

@BamaSaltyMarine I worked as a Critical Care RN with many shifts in a Coronary Care Acute unit, in ER & an Open Heart Post Op ICU.
1) Denial is a symptom of a heart attack. People try to blame it on indigestion, gall bladder, fatigue. It's usually not if left/central crushing chest pain.
1/2 @BamaSaltyMarine 2) Pain is only a symptom when there is over 90% blockage of a coronary artery.
3) Cholesterol build-up in arteries forms and becomes solid preventing the artery from expanding when needed with exertion and more oxygen is needed for the heart muscle and the body. Arteries 2/3

@1MikeMorris They also make Frozen Yogurt in different flavours. Would you believe this: I'm caffeine sensitive++, aware of this from high heart rate reaction happening after drinking a lot coffee one day decades ago. They have a Chocolate Espresso Frozen Yogurt. Love it but usually only 1/2 @1MikeMorris have a few tablespoons each time as mix with Vanilla yogurt. One night over a month ago had a big bowl of it. Within 5 minutes my normal heart rate of about 68/min. jumped up to 120 beats per minute. As an RN (now retired) who worked in Critical Care, I know a lot about 2/3

Novavax update: Today I received a specific email from Sanofi about the Novavax vaccine for 2025 fall: named Nuvaxovid which targets a JN.1 strain. Quote: "Please note that we do not plan to bring Nuvaxovid® to the Canadian market for the upcoming 2025 fall season at this time." The email stated the transition of the Novavax to Sanofi company in Canada is still ongoing. Perhaps once the transition is complete in the next weeks this June/July, there will be reconsidering of providing Nuvaxovid to Canadians. I have once again called the company to inquire

My update on Novavax inquiry with the Sanofi Pharmaceutical company contact # in Canada. This afternoon I made 3 1-800 calls. With the first at a general customer service #, she was not able to answer my questions; was transferred to a second person at a medical professional inquiry # but after about 10 minutes, the call got disconnected. It happens sometimes. I then called back at the same # for the medical menu choice and had a good conversation with a male representative. He typed my four questions to be forwarded to the correct individual to

Novavax update of information: I just called long distance to the Novavax customer service (no 1-800 #) for information about supply possibly to Canadian and specificially B.C. Found out a few facts: The current Novavax vaccine is although not outdated is not the newer one currently being developed for the fall of 2025. Whatever supply is 'out there' is the formula which was used previously. We have a new variant and I assume the new formula will be adjusted for protection from it. Also, the Novavax company & vaccine now has been absorbed by a new

@ItsColbyTime @ClayTravis As a Critical Care RN in both Paediatrics and Adult care over 34 years, I can say you are uneducated about aggressive cancers. Your assumption that annual checks will be sufficient for cancer diagnosis are unfounded. IF after testing, a mainly asymptomatic cancer begins, it 1/2 @ItsColbyTime @ClayTravis can then be undetected for those 12 months passing by. There are various types of cancers which are more aggessive than others of the same location. Some brain tumours with few symptoms can be lethal very quickly and others have dramatic symptoms like a seizure with detection 2/3

@SenAdamSchiff Senator Schiff, I am in Vancouver, Canada and am so glad I saw this video. However, it filled me with sorrow this conversation even has to be happening with your comments which I know are heartfelt. Over my lifetime so far, I've had many trips to the US States and made many 1/2 @SenAdamSchiff friends who I still am in contact with today. As now am a retired former Registered Nurse who worked in Critical Care Units, for nearly a year I worked in La Jolla as an RN. Your video reminded me of the morning of the unforgettable 9/11. I had that day begun a two week 2/3

@Dave_Eby @lisabeare Is there a law in BC protecting school students from teachers who in a deviant manner groom younger students? Read this and ask if police shouldn't have been called: nsnews.com/highlights/bc-… In this article, this male teacher quit after NOT stopping his obsessive, deviant grooming behaviour after the school found out in 2021 BUT it was FOUR years later finally a decision is made to ban him from teaching for 5 years. Is that retroactively? So he can teach again next

@MarkJCarney I've raised a question with Elections Canada by phone and also at my Liberal MP's office today about why those voting for this upcoming election do not (and never have done) provide proof of Canadian citizenship. After all, if this is so, it is no problem proving it. It has to be provided for any international travel and other important verification a citizen in our country. A driver's licence does not to this even though for most that is what is provided as ID. I'm certain there are many in multi-generational homes of immigrants some who may

@KirkpatrickWVC The apathy of the public is appalling. This an example. In about 2014, on a busy Sunday in Stanley Park, I was riding my bike near the Aquatic Centre and fell off the bike path (my own fault due to a muscle cramp in my upper back and it made me lose control of my bike) and 1/2 @KirkpatrickWVC airborne went off the bike path (I was peddling previously so going at a speed) and landed on the pedestrian path half under my bike on my side lying on the path. Thankfully I didn't hit anyone but it was a busy path that summer day. I was dizzy and so just lay still with my 2/3

@pv1004 @natalieben As a former Pediatric RN, now retired, I just read this article and am absolutely convinced this teacher and I suspect many others working at this group of schools are all sadists - the kinds who've abused children over decades. Interestingly, I was born in Hackney. 1/2 @pv1004 @natalieben My parents and I came to Vancouver, Canada to live when I was only 6 years old. I became an RN here and after 2 years working as a Pediatric RN, I moved back to London to work at GOS & as well complete a course caring for children having Open Heart Surgery. Then returned to 2/3

@KNugent4118 It is indeed but the reason for this happening is this: It is to ensure the security of this voting for the Liberal Leader is being done by those within Canada. It is indeed crazy. You also have to have the Canada Post #, which is a convoluted process. At the end of being 1/2 @KNugent4118 verified, we all thought that's it, done but on the bottom of that last page, there is a link to hit for a Canada Post connect. Then you have to folllow the directions there to get an email. In the email (a paper clip symbol by the addresses, not in the main email) is a PDF 2/3

@ShaneLSimpson You do not seem to have a medical background. I do being an RN in Critical Care & a Nurse Clinician with a BScN. a total of 34 yrs. During the pandemic which is still ongoing (if unaware since 1,000+ are dying weekly in the USA in 2025) I till now have read over 400 research 1/2 @ShaneLSimpson articles about Covid, the variants (did you know the new ones now attack 5 separate organs in the body?), the damage of the SARS virus causing progressive, chronic illnesses, how various vaccines work & the history of vaccines, how the immune system functions. I doubt you can 2/3

@kathy_7 @EdKrassen Precisely. I don't know how much of the pre-WW II in Germany you know but Hitler was put in prison for his anti-democratic actions/speeches when Germany was democratic. When he was released he shifted his rhetoric and gathered up like-minded Nazi's to slowly take over the 1/2 @kathy_7 @EdKrassen country and gain control. This he did most successfully as the years from 1939 - 1945 showed. Hitler was not stupid like the felon but believe me, the groundwork when he was in the WH was done then by putin. Putin was in the KGB as a younger man. In training they are taught 2/3
