hm.

Some posts, like this one, are pretty serious stuff that I don’t want to make a little quip about, so I’ll just ask nicely, please follow us elsewhere: 

It’s old knowledge that, unless you’re involved in mining, mineralogy, or occupational health & safety, has been deliberately buried from both the public’s and regulators’ knowledge.

CNBC’s article + their writeup on the Reuters report revealing J&J’s cover-ups go into more detail on their corporate liability and the impact of J&J’s products specifically…

…But I cannot overstate that people’s best option right now is to look for products in general that do not contain talc at all, regardless of the manufacturer, and to be vigilant in seeking appropriate healthcare (and/or legal action if required) if symptoms arise.

This goes for body use (diaper powder, chafing powder— this is where the cases of ovarian cancer are coming from), for any use where powder may be inhaled (hair, face), or will have prolonged exposure to mucus membranes (eye makeup, bath bombs, etc.).

The decision stems from an Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) report, released Friday, that recommends replacing the board with a single administrator while the board is reconstituted with new members who will be given appropriate training.

Led by First Nation Senator Murray Sinclair, who also led the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Thunder Bay Polices Services Board Investigation Final Report recommends the administrator be put in place for one year, with the OCPC retaining authority to extend that period if necessary.

The OCPC has named lawyer Thomas Lockwood as the administrator.

Lockwood was chosen because of his “significant experience in relation to the justice system, policing and public law,” Friday’s news release from the OCPC said.

Lockwood will “temporarily exercise all of the powers of the Board while the majority of the Board is reconstituted in the interim period,” according to Sinclair’s report.
