  • Dear, America. As a Canadian, I have never met another Canadian who thought that the USA had anyone's interests in mind but their own. The only shocking part of this is that every level of your government was able to fail so completely at the same time.

  • Body mass index (BMI) is an anthropometric index that is commonly used in the medical setting and is a factor in assessing various disease risks but its origins are unknown by many. More importantly, BMI does not properly assess body fat percentage and muscle mass or distinguish abdominal fat from gluteofemoral fat, which is important to note because abdominal fat is associated with insulin resistance, metabolic disease, and cardiovascular complications. Using a less accurate index to assess the relationship between weight and disease risk is conceptually invalid because the use of BMI ultimately trickles into patient treatment, preventive medicine, and overall health outcomes.

    Completing the quote we find that there is a more important aspect to BMI than its common use.

  • There was never a time when the truck was not a stainless steel turd. I have never seen a review (by a technical person, not an influencer wank) that said "buy this truck, it's pretty good."

  • One day is a Dec, 10 Decs in a Wec, 10 Wecs in a Mec and 100 Mecs in a Yec. Your days are split into Ceti-decs and Micro-decs!

  • Time for a historical metrology search!

  • forgotten the left chanting for the destruction of Canada while tearing down monuments to it’s history

    So the radical left. Whereas the radical right is chanting for the death of anyone who isn't a white man or his child bearing wife. Should we be attributing the views and actions of the radicals to the quiet majorities?

    Danielle Smith is a traitor in spirit if not by law, she is trying to sell this country out to a racist, bigoted mouthpiece working for his billionaire friends.

  • BMI was made by an statistician who never intended it to be used as a means of medical assessment.

  • FUBAR and The Delicate Art Of Parking! Though I haven't been able to find a copy of the latter.

  • Probably not. Most businesses moved their manufacturing to countries where local laws do not protect workers as well as Canada, that hasn't changed.

  • F. I thought it was tonight not last night and had a frantic "set up the telescope" a half hour before.

  • And we shouldn't waste our very limited health care treating a disease that was contracted due to an active and ignorant decision.

  • would you deny cancer care for a smoker

    It already happens. Friend of mine (Ontario) had to quit smoking and stay off before he could get treatment for his lungs. There was a women (also Ontario) who recently was denied liver treatment because she refused to quit drinking. Many surgeries are also be denied to overweight people until they get down to some target weight.

    Climbing a tree, while not the safest activity, is a recreational risk that only harms youself. Refusing a vaccine that is meant to protect you and your community, because you did your research on Facebook, is a willfully ignorant act that poses a risk to you and MANY other people. People are too stupid to make their own decisions in regard to public health.

  • Care for an illness that for which a person refused (by choice, not for legitimate medical reason) the vaccine should not be covered by public healthcare.
