The “pharmacare” bill has just passed into Canadian law, making medication like insulin or birth control covered under the public health system. Remember this was an NDP/Liberal alliance project.

“Guide dog owner says Louie may be her last unless behaviour of ‘service dogs’ changes”: I’m a regular donor to CNIB (whose president is interviewed here) and it’s sad to learn that people with badly trained service dogs are making life difficult for those with good service dogs.
“Steam adds the harsh truth that you’re buying “a license,” not the game itself”: good on Steam to do this right away (I’m wondering how many other online stores will drag their feet), but frankly I would love to see the term “purchase” more strongly regulated too…

“Hypnotic” is NOT a good movie (unless you bring a few friends to shit-talk through it with pizza and drinks), but funnily enough the main plot-twist was similar to what I did once in a Delta Green #TTRPG game 20 years ago after a PC had been captured by MJ-12. Good times!
I recently took the fluffy good boy to Queen Elizabeth Park! Lots of new things to smell and, you know, pee on.
