Listened to an electrical engineer who said the issue is always when politicians meddle in stuff they don’t understand

It’s how we got to this point

He said people think because they can turn on a light, they understand electricity

Sheer levity of the transparent? E lit ism ...

Yes. It was an appropriate salary

But with the entire hydro file out of control you knew someone was going to take a hit. Of course Wynne took the biggest hit

The hydro file is so mismanaged, it really in mind boggling to figure out if there is any way out

Thank you McGuinty and Wynne

You can thank Mike Harris for the Hydro clusterfuck, in case you've conveniently forgotten. It was his party that split Hydro and set up two of the three corporations to be sold privately.
 
Doug Ford fired Ontario's Chief Scientist, Molly Shoichet. Dr. Shoichet was in my wife's biomaterials group at U of T during her postgrad. Jenn has great respect for her. No replacement has been named.

This is the religious and social conservative response to science. Science doesn't back up their beliefs or their positions, so ignore science and attack it where possible.
 
@Mendalla I liked your comment because I agreed that things would be different if leaders followed research rather than ideology. Of course supervised injection/consumption sites are only part of the necessary strategy.
 
Can research technology be warped by desires to shift things in another vector ... as the great wheel turns?

As human err can we blow this ?

I could speak on this but not allowed due to licentiousness ... I am certified as separate or isolated from the institution of fixation of hard cases ... beyond real and thus strange virtue? The law is real to those that carry that isolated Book of Rho ... separate from nature! Ceded thought ... a process ah ead 've us ...

Consult the horsemen of the sleepy idiom ... Ide (sense of primal power)? After that the logical fallacy ... and thus descent ... Lucid when sufficient profundity? Rite: intuit ...

That's why you need to look at a body of research rather than single studies, a common mistake with the media. A single study could be biased or have experimental errors, but it's statistically unlikely that everyone doing research in a large body of work is biased the same way or making the same mistakes. In the case of supervised injection sites, we're talking a body of research, not a study or two.

Know the one-way null points?
 
But in the case of the efficacy of anti-depressants, for instance, if you look at the research on a macro level (especially that unfunded by pharmaceutical companies), we're talking about a very weak correlation between improved mental health and consumption of anti-depressants as a category. Same with a lot of the cholesterol-lowering drugs and cardiac events.

Right, something that doctors and patients should be aware of and probably aren't. My wife and I tend to do our homework where health is concerned but a lot of people don't. We're also very much minimalists where pharmaceuticals are concerned. We take what's needed to deal with the condition in question and no more.

Sticking it to his political enemies? I mean Ford's government is f***ing with the council led by John Tory, who beat him for the mayor's job. He's changing two regional chair posts from elected to appointed and Patrick Brown, the disgraced former PC leader was running for one of them.

I honestly, seriously hope (and am fairly sure) it isn't just payback, but a wicked little part of Ford must be enjoying this.:devil:

You know, reforming Toronto City Council in and of itself is not a bad thing. But trying to do it in a municipal election year on the day nominations close when candidates have already filed papers and started campaigning? WTF?

I know.

All the talk about inefficiencies. I though he was going to be eliminating them not creating them.

If only he had a previous political record Ontario voters could have reviewed or an actual political platform.

Tough break ON.
