Today's tonic from writer John Ivison: "Pierre Poilievre should know better than to tear down Canadian institutions"

This weekend's tonics: "In His Desk!" and "Democrats flip Alaska seat and defeat Sarah Palin in special election, big loss for GOP!"

I posted these two on my Twitter late this week:

Today's tonic: "In His Desk!" Hahaha! Thank you, Lawrence O'Donnell, for what you do: "Donald Trump Got Caught With Classified Docs In His Desk" because where else would the sinister idiot hide stolen stuff?

Another tonic: Democrats flip Alaska seat and defeat @SarahPalinUSA in her comeback, big loss for GOP in special election, "Mary Peltola set to make history as the first Alaska Native in Congress"

The Democrats do appear to have major wind in their sails as they enter the home stretch before the mid-term elections in early November...

Today’s tonic, hold the gin: “More than 6 drinks a week leads to increasingly high health risks including cancer"

Today’s tonic, hold the gin: “More than 6 drinks a week leads to increasingly high health risks…especially for women”

#alcohol has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen for decades, the more alcohol you drink the more #cancer you can get.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.  We've always known alcohol is bad for us.  The new recommendation from the group that advises the government on safe consumption is two drinks a week (both men and women) or you're looking at increasingly bad health risks.  

There has been a lot of cancer in my family, including an aunt who was otherwise completely healthy, fit and active, never smoked, but died horribly this year thanks to cancer.  Had she known those frequent glasses of wine were the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes a day, she might've cut down considerably and saved herself many years.  

We have been lied to by industry looking to make a buck from something that is poisonous to our bodies.  I'm glad some health professionals are finally and bravely informing the public about this.
