Notification that a post was removed by an administrator for violating a group rule ("science-based posts"). The post that was removed read: "Doubt it. This is a common issue with GF labelled lentils. If you check GF Watchdog's page you'll see many examples, including Edison Grainery. Third party certification does not mean there is a zero percent all-time chance of having a problem - plenty of Celiac Canada certified products have been recalled over the years."

Facebook comment exchange. Person 1 (France): Les produits qui affichent moins de 1 % de gluten ont un marché différent. Celui des personnes intolérantes au gluten qui, elles, peuvent les consommer sans dommages. Il ne faut pas les interdire. Il faut savoir lire. À chacun des produits! Person 2 (Bluesky OP): si on peut tolérer 10 000 ppm, on n'a pas d'intolérance au gluten lol. Le pain regulier est ~100 000 ppm. Si on mange un sandwich de pain 1% gluten, on parle de 800 mg ou 0.8 g de gluten (2 tranches = ~80 g). Une personne qui ne suit pas une diète sans gluten du tout mange probablement 5-10 g au total par jour. Quelqu'un qui mange ce type de repas ou produit mange un montant de gluten qui est peu distingué d'une personne qui n'essaie pas d'éviter le gluten. La vie est pleine d'anecdotes, il y a aussi des gens qui croient que l'homéopathie fonctionne. Il faut se fier à la science et à la logique, et non pas au marketing.
Coeliaque Quebec facebook post. The image show a woman reaching apprehensively towards a plate of bread. The image text reads "les produits sans gluten, 1% vs 20 ppm". The caption for this image reads: "1 % de gluten, c'est sécuritaire? Loin de là ! Pour qu'un aliment puisse être considéré SANS GLUTEN, sa teneur en gluten ne doit pas dépasser 20 parties par million (ppm), ce qui représente 20 mg de gluten dans 1 kg d'aliment. À titre de comparaison, 1 % de gluten équivaut à 10 000 ppm ! C’est 500 fois plus de gluten. Le logo « Moins de 1 % de gluten » peut sembler rassurant, mais demeure loin du seuil sécuritaire."

Ontario Provincial Police facebook post featuring photo of a cyclist coming around the bend of a road. The cyclist i some distance from the edge of the road, which has a "1 m keep space" label superimposed. The post caption reads as follows: "Riding too close to the curb can make cyclists blend into the background. Maintaining space helps ensure they’re seen. A position about 1 metre from the edge provides a critical maneuvering buffer: - Room to respond to close-passing vehicles - Space to avoid debris, potholes, and grates - Better visibility to drivers Share the road responsibly. Ride safe. Ride smart."

*Important: Kosher meals are prepared off site in certified kitchens that adhere to strict dietary, preparation, and handling standards. To maintain certification, these meals must remain sealed and cannot be modified on board. As a result, most items are served cold, with only the main entrée reheated prior to service. Menu options are limited, and the same meals may be provided each day. Consequently, the overall dining experience differs from the standard onboard meal service, particularly on The Canadian (Toronto–Vancouver), where meals are freshly prepared on board by a chef. *We cannot guarantee that our meals have not been in contact with allergen. Consult our allergy policy if you suffer from an allergy. Measures can and must be taken by VIA Rail to minimize your risk of exposure to a specific allergen.
Via Rail's "Special meals that can be ordered in advance" chart. It states that with 10 days notice that "gluten intolerant" meals can be prepared with gluten containing ingredients (asterisk).

Screen capture of paper text. It reads: "The term 'alternative medicine' is commonly used to describe practices that are delineated from mainstream medicine; however, the precise definition is not always agreed upon. The WHO does not define alternative medicine directly, but instead refers to the collective of traditional, complementary, integrative, and herbal medicines. [footnote 3] This broad umbrella includes pre-scientific experience-based approaches, natural remedies, and care that is not part of the mainstream healthcare system in a particular country. [footnote 4] Meanwhile, the US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health describes alternative medicine as practices outside of conventional Western medicine. [footnote 5] For the purposes of this paper, the focus will be on disciplines that: 1. Have formal educational programs; 2. Were invented as an alternative to mainstream medicine by a single person; and 3. Have core tenets that are premised on physically implausible theorems and/or practices that lack robust scientific support. These criteria exclude most spiritual and cultural practices such as Indigenous medicine."

Paragraph 14 of the HRTO decision. It reads: "The applicant contacted the principal and proposed that he be permitted to distribute a book called “Just Pretend: A Freethought Book for Children”, which promotes atheism. It is published by the “Freedom From Religion Foundation”. The book compares God to Santa Claus as something that is “just pretend”. It portrays God as a myth that some people believe in but that is demonstrably not true. It suggests that “the Bible, the Koran and the Vedas are filled with mistakes and wild stories”. It concludes as follows:"
