Thanks for sharing. I’m glad you’ve got something that works well for those headaches and is cost effective. Most drug industry meds are to be taken daily. There’s not a lot of money in something like this for the drug companies lol
Foreign affairs usually don’t play a role when it comes to voting in Canadian federal elections. But the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is having an effect on religious voters in this country. That’s the finding of a new poll by the Angus Reid Institute that shows low support for the federal Liberal party among all...
The Angus Reid poll showed 54 per cent of those surveyed had an unfavourable view of Falcon while 44 per cent had a negative impression of Rustad. Eby, meanwhile, had a 45 per cent approval rating.
In 2023, a shocking one out of every five people in Canada were food insecure — defined as having a lack of access to food, or concern over lack of food access. Severe food insecurity — when people miss meals and sometimes go days without food — rose by 50 per cent....

Lies and denial about the impact of the O&G industry are so PERVASIVE in today’s society, I think it’s important to scientifically study and report on the reality of their impacts on this planet. We’ll be talking about for the next 100 years
I see the Wolves at -4.5 on the point spread tonight. I wonder how many more games they can win. I think I like (affinity for) the Wolves more than the Mavs, but I like them both better than the Celts lol and for that matter wonder whether I should be cheering for the Mavs getting more time off before the NBA Finals
Great shot! I like that the black collar is clearly identifiable given the name. Some species of bird have [colour]-[bodypart] in their name and I don’t see it. Big claws per body size. The gold colour is beautiful. Do hawks always look angry?
The Thunder were eliminated in 6 games by the Mavericks in the first round. I’m a bit late on this one but here’s how their offseason is shaping up:...
Shai, Lu … See you gents in Paris 😎😝. I thought FIBA last year was so much fun (special shoutout to the microphones that were lowered into team timeout huddles, so you could see and hear coaches draw out and communicate their next play on TV. I remember the coach of France swearing a lot, and the broadcasters apologizing after any coach swearing, which many did, for “colourful” language or something euphemistic like that). I’m looking forward to another dose of international basketball via the olympics!
I wonder how much the cats reported on in this thread are interested in smelling human worn objects for the out-of-house smells the objects might pick up versus the smell of their human companions on those objects. We don’t do this much as humans compared to other animals but smelling can be used to identify an individual, and smelling the smell of an known individual who’s a positive relation can be pleasing
I don’t think most people who are against the idea of a carbon rebate/tax will be swayed by new figures. I hope policy-makers learn from this debacle of misnaming a green initiative that puts money in the pockets of most Canadians a “tax”. It effortlessly becomes a Conservative soundbite. And the corporate-controlled mainstream media get people into a froth in no time
Liberal health critic Adil Shamji wants the province to ban private-pay nurse practitioner clinics instead of waiting on the feds to do so. His private member’s bill, to be tabled Wednesday afternoon, would do just that. The Keeping Primary Care Fair Act would also increase penalties for breaking the law. Shamji shared an...
I love this photo!! I love the proximity of the person there with the fishing net for context; they and the egret are doing the same thing. Plus the profile of the egret is really neat. That neck is quite question mark shaped
