There is something quite remarkable about Sweden. They decided early on to adhere to established public health practices and refused to panic. They rationalized a viral threat and established a risk based policy. 1/

That policy was built on trust and knowledge of its population. There was no fanfare or dramatic pressers filled with breying politicans. Just dull workman like activity moderating risk while society functioned. 2/
Public trust enables transparency and that is what you see below. A summarized version of Sweden's final Covid report. Take a read and appreciate the thoughtful deliberation. Data analysis is clear, candid and unromantic. 3/

Sweden did many things right but deficits were highlighted, three of which are noteworthy. Two structural (poor investment in critical care and LTCs) and one legislative (recent gov't regulation). All driven by understandable political decisions. 4/
Sweden provides a calm contrast to the chaotic atmosphere of Ontario and Canada. There is an immaturity to our C19 response, political leadership is thin, public health community is lost in a bizarre social isolation experiment and the media is unable to inform. 5/
Examples are numerous, one being the Ontario premier's claim he will protect the kids. They are, of course, not at risk where the frail elderly are. Canada's most western province, under Dr. Henry's pragmatic leadership, has faired better. 6/
Ontario's science panel is another example of dysfunction. Slide presentations are unprofessional and have the look like of a high school science project. Data mistakes are readily evident and they have the uncanny ability to convince you their actions have no impact. 7/
It's quite remarkable and it goes to the heart of data literacy and whether Ontario would be better served by new voices. Cost benefit analyses are never performed and the long term repercussions aren't considered. Ontario seems to be running blind. 8/
This brings us to yesterday's events when Ontario's former CMO (Dr. Schabas) gently admonished the gov't and suggested the province could follow a "no drama" sweden-like approach. 9/
This didn't sit well with media who feeds the public a steady diet of panic porn. They too lack data literacy and lack the curiosity needed to address the gaping holes in scientific logic. As such, Dr. Schabas' dull workman-like solution is viewed as radical. 10/
Ontario is floundering and it sails rudderlessly into the future This hasn't gone unnoticed to business colleagues, who occupying a tax bracket decided higher than mine, are planning to move their families out of the country. Their dismay is clear. 11/
This is yet again another sign of failure, loss of communal confidence in Ontario's political and scientific leadership. It isn't surprising and a sensible course correction is now required. This needs to be accomplished quickly before permanent damage is done. End.

Niger state shares borders with Zamfara, kebbi, Kaduna & Benin Republic. Terrorists from Niger republic and Burkina faso easily move money and arms across the borders of Kebbi, Zamfara and Benin R into Niger state. According to UN over 900,000 people have been displaced in B'Faso https://t.co/65YEMJhqDp


Niger, Mali and Burkina faso are weak countries populated by Shell terrorists who have now found a safe haven in the forests in Kaduna and Niger state. Birin Gwari, Mokwa forest, Nanati forests, Kanji lake areas.

No decent human resides permanently in forests.

We are facing both external and internal threats from these weak and failed countries we are surrounded with. As a senator you know that a FG police system with less than 300k officers can't actively police the landmass and borders in the North.
Form your state police now!

You and other senators should scrap the FG police system and devote the unaudited security votes and constituency allowance to policing your corridors and forests. Let the airforce bomb them and put your rangers in the forests. Issue an ultimatum for those in the forests to leave

You are all living in a dream if you think the current police structure will become efficient overnight.
Budget, Personnel, Technology, Equipment, Surveillance..It's impossible.
Form your state and community police and flush out the terrorists.
All the leftists in the comments like oh no prageru made a good point lol


Polls consistently show conservative support for nuclear energy. It also has high support among elites. The myth that it is unpopular in general isn’t true—although it is unpopular in almost every specific case where they need to site it

Article is old but yeah

This study finds that risk & benefit predict individual opinion the most, followed by the share of nuclear energy already extant, followed by ideology (conservatives support more)

This one finds that journalists attitude affect public perceptions, but that energy consultants, nuclear engineers, bureaucrats, and the military show the highest support for nuclear energy
