The population of the DRC is 95,894,118 (2021 est.), with 0–14 year old children comprising 46.38% of the population Source

... but Western nations have only sent 265,000 doses for adults only even tho almost all the deaths have occured in children.

We are the assholes here.

Assholes gotta asshole. :/

I grew up in Regina and remember my dad talking about not being able to swim in Wascana Lake because of the goose poo/cattle poo contamination.

Fyi Regina is one of the only major cities in North America not built on a major natural water source.

Wascana lake was created in 1883 by damming Wascana Creek, a low flow seasonal run-off stream, to serve as a reliable water reservoir for the town and railway (the railway used it as a watering hole for the cattle they transported)

The lake continued for a time to be used as a domestic water supply and for stock watering; it also supplied the new legislative building. A longer term effect resulted, however, when lake water was used to cool machinery in the power plant (now the Powerhouse Museum) that was built in the eastern sector. Heated water returned to the lake, causing that sector to remain ice-free through the winter, and several species of migratory birds made it their year-round habitat.

Canada geese are one of those, so Regina has a year-round population as well.

ADHD and autism mean some of us don't see it all the time tho. That's why /s can be a big help.

It's what I had to memorize as a kid so it's embedded in my brain.

... he was accused of grabbing a woman on the street by the hips and holding her

Would he have grabbed a man by the hips and held him? Probably not. Therefore it's sexual assault.

Same as many think we have a 2nd Amendment.

Like, wtf Canada???

The hetero victimhood is strong in this one.

That's why I put a wink after my comment.

Driving is the easiest way.

Shaken baby syndrome has been challenged in courts, and rightfully so.

Over the past two decades, there has been a revolution in the understanding of internal pediatric head conditions, which has shown that numerous naturally occurring illnesses can affect a child in the manner previously attributed to SBS. My own extensive research was key to the evolution of the science and to discrediting SBS.

According to the National Registry of Exonerations, at least 30 people served years or decades in prison after convictions involving the SBS theory before being exonerated. But the law, in many cases, has not kept up with the science.

Scrat!

He didn't used to be tho. When he first ran to be an MP he was articulate, open-minded, and took time to talk to the nation. The first indication he had issues was when he backed down from his promise of electoral reform ... the beginning of the end I guess.

We seem to be heading towards all three at once. :/

... and coaches it seems.

I simply corrected the network referenced.

Three teens involved in the assault have been arrested ...

Publically announcing your hurt feewings instead of asking the other person why they didn't contact you first is pretty rich coming from a PM.

Maybe Trudeau should have risen to the occasion and acted like an adult instead of coming across as elitist who wasn't treated with the proper deference.

60 Minutes is on CBS, not CNN.

And it was all started by Bibi and his right wing coalition.
