Canada is not doing enough to improve air quality, spoken by an elephant symbolizing that United States Republican party. There is a newspaper in the bottom right corner that says Trump river is green policies. The image shows pollution from the United States drifting north to Canada and fire smoke drifting south from Canada to the USA.

It’s a lung infection caused by a fungus in wet soil and rotting wood or leaves.

Symptoms can take weeks-months to show up and feel like the flu:

• Fever
• Cough
• Night sweats
• Muscle aches

If you’ve been outdoors and symptoms do not go away, talk to a health care provider.

👉 Testing and treatment are available!

Blastomycosis is more common in Northwestern Ontario. Been outdoors and feeling sick? Talk to your healthcare provider to get tested.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis is an infection caused by a fungus, Blastomyces dermatitidis. Blastomycosis affects the lungs or skin. Pneumonia caused by the spores may present with fever, chills, cough, sore chest, weight loss, aches, and fatigue. Skin infections caused by the spores may begin with lesions on the face or extremities, starting out mild but progressing to crusty or open wounds. Weight loss, fever, and fatigue can also occur with these skin lesions.

There is no vaccine against Blastomycosis, and there is no environmental control product to get rid of it. You cannot see it, so avoiding it when it is present is difficult. Symptoms can start weeks or months after exposure, which also makes pinpointing the location of Blastomycosis difficult.

@maritstilesndp.bsky.social in the Ontario legislative assembly today: F*** predatory algorithmic pricing practices

Opposition Day No. 3:
Marit Stiles — Whereas the cost of basic groceries has increased by at least 30 per cent in the last five years under this government; and

Whereas surveillance pricing allows corporations to use secret algorithms to take personal data, browsing habits, purchase history, and location to charge different prices to different people for the same product or service; and
Whereas companies like Uber are already taking advantage of surveillance pricing to unfairly inflate fares, and companies like Walmart are lobbying governments to expand the use of surveillance pricing for groceries; and
Whereas the federal government is monitoring the rise of surveillance pricing because of its impact on anti-competitive behaviour, but has not taken any action; and
Whereas the NDP government of Manitoba is taking leadership on consumer protection as the first province in Canada to take action against misuse of personalized data by banning surveillance pricing; and
Whereas Canadians overwhelmingly agree that surveillance pricing should be banned to prevent corporations from gouging consumers at the check out;
Therefore, the Legislative Assembly calls on the Ford government to ban surveillance pricing practices that misuse personal data to unfairly inflate prices, and ensure a fair and affordable price for groceries and other goods and services.
Addressed to the Premier.

Huh. Would you look at that, the markets are all still up for the year and the TSX is outperforming the US indexes.

Google finance comparison of S&P TSX (Canadian index) vs. The DOW Jones Industrial Average index, the S&P 500, the Hang Seng and the Nikkei indexes. Basically shows the TSX performing better than everything but the Nikkei.

The political comics are doing their thing admirably. Art is thriving. We should worry.

A political comic featuring US President Donald Trump in red military garb from the 18th century, implying a British monarchy lean, using USA department of war secretary Pete Hegseth as his horse. Pete Hegseth is wearing drab green military fatigues and a bulletproof vest, an a horse's bit & bridle, implying him being controlled in a submissive way by Trump. There is a battlefield in the background, where a girl school has been blown up, and we know this because the girls school sign is flying through the air. Trump says "Hegseth, were we ahead of schedule, this glorious war is almost over! Two or three days tops! Or maybe we'll stay indefinitely! Put boots on the ground! It's all about regime change! Except it's not! It's about nukes! It's about Israel! It's about whatever I say it's about at any given moment!" Pete Hegseth replies: "brilliant strategy, sir! Keep everyone guessing!"

The comic is by an artist named horsey, and was published in the Seattle times in March 2026

🚧🚨⚡️👷🦺 IMPORTANT Safety info from Hydro One regarding Outages in Ontario (via stormcentre.hydroone.com?language=en-CA) #onstorm 🇨🇦 🍁 Thank you Line Crews 🙏🫶

(Full text of entire message shown in 4 attached images)

! Crews restoring power

Crews from across the province continue to restore power as safely and quickly as possible after severe storms moved through central parts of eastern Ontario. In some areas crews may be delaying by challenge driving conditions. We anticipate some customers in the hardest hit areas will be without power overnight. It’s important to continue to prepare for an extended outage as freezing rain and high winds are expected tomorrow.

Outages can be reported by texting 92887 (WATTS), through the company’s outage map and app, or by calling 1-800-434-1235. Outage tools are updated every 10 minutes. When restoring power, crews need to repair/rebuild main lines along with other key pieces of electricity infrastructure before repairs can be made to power lines that serve smaller numbers of customers. It’s important to remember that the estimated time of restoration may change when crews arrive onsite and start repairs based on any additional damage/repairs required.
Safety is our priority.
If you spot a fallen line, it’s critical to keep at least 10 metres back – that's the length of a school bus, even if it does not appear to be live. Report it to Hydro One at 1-800-434-1235. 
If you’re using a generator, ensure n.it is outside and away from any windows or ventilation
If there is flooding inside your home that is starting to reach electrical outlets, baseboard heaters or furnace, call Hydro One at 1-800-434-1235 to have power safely turned off. Water and electricity do not mix. Do not enter any flooded areas, such as the basement, until power is disconnected

🇨🇦 PM Carney's statement via Facebook (Text in alt text as well) Link: www.facebook.com/share/p/187j...

Statement from Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada regarding a "national security incident" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on the morning of March 10, 2026: "The shots fired toward the United States Consulate in Toronto early this morning are a reprehensible act of violence and attempt at intimidation. I am relieved that no one was injured.

The RCMP and federal agencies will devote all needed resources to support the Toronto Police Service in their investigation, and to ensure that the perpetrators of these violent acts are identified and brought to the full weight of justice.

This weekend, our government’s Incident Response Group reviewed potential changes to the threat landscape in Canada and underlined the importance of continued vigilance to enhance domestic security.

Canada’s new government has taken bold action to strengthen law enforcement and the Criminal Code. We will use every tool available to ensure the safety and security of our communities."
