Lol! Tell me you're a typical, bleeding heart islander without telling me you're a typical, bleeding heart islander.

Who pays your salary? Who payed for your parental leave?

The entitlement while feeling equally oppressed is mind bottling.
Well, technically he paid for his own parental leave. But yeah, it's certainly something. He's also almost certainly lying about people on CERB making more than him on parental leave.

My employer pays my salary.

Employment insurance pays for parental leaves.

I didn’t realize it was considered entitled to access the employment insurance I have been paying into for the last 24 years.

A Canadian COVID-19 study that turned out to be wrong has spread like wildfire among anti-vaxxers
An inaccurate Canadian study suggesting an extremely high rate of heart inflammation after COVID-19 vaccines has been retracted due to a major mathematical error — but not before it spread like wildfire on anti-vaccination websites and social media.

The preprint study, which was released by researchers at the Ottawa Heart Institute last week but has not been peer-reviewed, looked at the rate of myocarditis and pericarditis cases after Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinations in Ottawa from June 1 to July 31.


The study identified 32 patients with the rare side effects out of a total of 32,379 doses of mRNA vaccines given in Ottawa in the two-month period, finding an inordinately high rate of close to 1 in 1,000 — significantly higher than other international data has shown.

But the researchers made a critical error that experts say caused the study to be "weaponized" by the anti-vaccination movement at a time when concern over COVID-19 vaccine side effects are top of mind for parents whose kids may soon get the shot.

I love how they'll just print anything at this point:

The online poll surveyed 1,549 Canadians between September 10 and 12.

A margin of error cannot be assigned to online polls, as they are not considered truly random samples of the population.
