Nuke subs: A blank cheque to be paid by our grandchildren as warmongers and defence industries salivate. A plan hatched in secret by Not ScoMo without parliamentary oversight. A retreat from independence, and the non proliferation treaty system. That’s just for starters.

Alberta ICUs will be closed to people with dementia or those over 60 with “poor” survival chances. Ageist and cruel outcome of incompetence. We need a UN Convention to protect rights. ⁦Bob Rae⁩ ⁦Justin Trudeau⁩ ⁦⁦UN For Ageing⁩ ⁦⁦ cbc.ca/amp/1.6178253

Personally, I would've liked for some demographers and housing researchers interviewed in pieces like this - rather than people from the real estate industry - i.e. those with 'skin in the game'. ABC Darwin

Dr Helen Barrie explaining how citizen science engages & involves people in the science - from a contributive, crowd-sourcing model (data collection) to her preference: a co-design & co-creative approach in designing, collecting, analyzing & presenting the data #AAGConf22
