Housing cooperatives present a huge potential to the housing stock, not just in Hamilton but across Canada. Co-ops are a popular form of housing all across the world. In some countries cooperative housing makes up over 40 per cent of all housing stock. In Canada, it’s less than one per cent. The Durand neighbourhood, where the Caroline Co-op is, comprises nearly 80 per cent rental units, so there is a lot of opportunity for other buildings to do the same as the Caroline Co-op.

Alcohol should have labels warning drinkers of cancer risks, charities say (www.theguardian.com)
 

In February, the World Health Organization's European office declared: "Clear and prominent health warning labels on alcohol, which include a specific cancer warning, are a cornerstone of the right to health."

In a report, it urged governments to introduce them to help reduce alcohol-related harm and raise awareness of the link between drinking and cancer.

Dr Gauden Galea, a WHO adviser, said in the report that policymakers should "resist all the pressure that will inevitably come from commercial actors" who claim such warnings do not work.

The Carter Center (cited by that BBC piece) is funded by various western governments including the US, as well as CIA-affiliated regime-change orgs like the National Endowment for Democracy. They are not a neutral party.

The "pro-Kremlin" smear is similarly questionable as it is promoted by the same groups.

Covid-19 social distancing was not based on scientific data, Fauci admits in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml
[–] NightOwl@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This article is literally quoting the official press release of the committee's chairman:

https://oversight.house.gov/release/wenstrup-releases-statement-following-dr-faucis-two-day-testimony/

Dr. Fauci claimed that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any data. He characterized the development of the guidance by stating “it sort of just appeared.”

Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.

Dr. Fauci admitted that America’s vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future.
