"As I warned repeatedly, #DougFord's foolhardy cancellation of the world class & inexpensive #Ontario wastewater surveillance program was a mistake.
I cautioned we would be less prepared as new infectious disease risks rose during the winter. #measles

CBCAmid Canada's largest measles outbreak in more than a decade, experts say this COVID-era tool could help | CBC NewsAs Canada deals with its largest measles outbreak in more than a decade, health experts say a COVID-era tool could help tame the spread.

They only stay here briefly, waiting for more water opening up further north.

*correction: They are Tundra Swans (Cygnus columbianus). An endangered species.

Along this short stretch of the Serpent River there are several of these Willow (?) Trees. They really stand out in the snow, with their golden colour among all those grey birches.
Are they Peachleaf Willows? Would be slightly out of range, but they are in a very sheltered area.

Next Thursday - April 17th - the #Huron County Museum in #Goderich #Ontario will screen the film « No Other Land », followed by discussions with local academics and activists from #London.

It is a powerful yet well-balanced film depicting #Israel's violent colonisation of #Palestine through the eyes of Palestinian activist Basel Adra and an anti-occupation Israeli journalist.

Info and registration here: huroncountymuseum.ca/event/no- - screenings at 2pm and 7pm.
