Death of a Salesman…?

The Donald, in the process of selling a self deceived democratic USA down the river with multitudes of paddlers, is on that long travelled grifter road again to sell a repurposed mythical snake oil to insatiable believers!

Elect him for four more years!

Per formula, every last fuckin’ media outfit has given his unrelenting sales pitch the front page and juiced his marketing prowess..now that = Uber POWER!

The contemporary American style facist play with multi platform productions has being developed , written ,acted out, & financed by American myth makers about a grifter who always loses but wins in the end!

Everyone knows better now except those who don’t!

Juul Adds Canada Ex-Health Minister Rona Ambrose to E-Cig Giant’s Board

Former Canadian Health Minister Rona Ambrose has joined Juul Labs Inc.’s board of directors, the company said on Friday, as the e-cigarette company tries to reset its relationship with global regulators.

Juul Chief Executive Officer K.C. Crosthwaite said in a statement that Ambrose’s “unique public health and regulatory experience” can help the company reposition itself. Juul says its mission is to eliminate cigarettes, though it has been blamed by some regulators and public-health advocates for hooking a new generation on nicotine. Juul says it has never marketed to minors.

It’s important to look for ways to reduce the harm caused by cigarettes, Ambrose said in the statement, as smoking remains the world’s leading cause of preventable death. “However, these new technologies will not succeed in eradicating cigarettes unless businesses and regulators work together to successfully fight the problem of underage use,” she said. “We must solve both.”

Repeated exposure over a long time to e-cigarette vapor poses substantial potential risk. Although companies state that e-cigarettes are safe, there is no scientific evidence to support this view. Long-term data showing that vaping is a “healthier alternative” than cigarette smoking does not exist.

Nite out with the boys…

Alberta pub crawl somewhere between Coronation, Pincher Creek or some other god forsaken draft soaked establishment.The girls were travelling together and were on their way to work on TV in New York so they said…likely story!

The guy you identify as Surgeon never really spoke…he just smiled, smoked, kept missing shots and kept what looked like a doctors bag close….I think we nicknamed him Kreepy Kept.

Their idle chatter did not touch on asymptomatics or super spreader liberal abstractions thank goodness!

Public Funds Public Health…

UPDATE from May 16,2020 post

Ontario’s for-profit nursing homes have 78% more COVID-19 deaths than non-profits, report finds .The report from the science table to the Ontario Government, paints an alarming picture of for-profit nursing homes in the pandemic, particularly those owned and operated by chains .

    Public funds should be for public health, not private profits    
    
Canada has committed more than a billion dollars to develop COVID-19 vaccines, medicines, and diagnostic tests that we all need. Presently most public funding for medical research and development (R&D) comes with no strings attached – meaning that even when public funds are used to discover or develop lifesaving medicines or vaccines,  there are no requirements to make them affordable for people who need them, including Canadians.
In fact, these publicly funded vaccines, medicines and health technologies are often sold to private companies, who get to decide who receives access to them and set the price.
The global medical R&D system that MSF and the rest of the world depends on for new and essential lifesaving medicines is currently  built around private profits rather than public health. The Canadian government must make sure that the medicines, vaccines, and other health technologies developed through the medical R&D paid for by public funds will be affordable and accessible to the patients and health systems who need them most , both here in Canada and around the world.

Predatory Takeover…

It’s a bumpy road ahead for art vendors this year, and the coronavirus could lead to even more consolidation going forward, especially among art vendors that are vulnerable to the predatory takeover practices of Court Painter.

The structure of the art vendor industry is still very fragmented with hundreds of small studios finding it increasingly difficult to compete and it looks inevitable that the general trend line of value and volume of mergers and acquisitions by Court Painter will maintain momentum over the next months.

 Court Painter in a statement released today said, “I consider my studio as part of the new wave of serial acquirers and opportunistic plunders .We will be plying the waters as soon as the end of the second quarter, looking for strategic opportunities to round out our art business and expansion into value added products like toilet paper.”

Court Painter approaches a well known and loved art vendor to explain he is being forced out.

Court Painter shows an example of the product that will replace the art works of the well loved vendor once the predatory acquisition is complete.
