How dangerous is health #misinformation in Canada? | #CMA cma.ca/healthcare-for-real/how “many lack access to a #familyphysician, so instead they go online with their questions.

Among those groups, 23% experienced #negativehealthoutcomes from following online medical advice.”

I was *wondering* why Beyoncé went so hard on the country theme for her big half-time show on the Christmas football game. I mean she *is* from Texas, but that was the most "country" thing I've ever seen in my life. (The halftime show was more popular than the game, which also tracks since it was the only part of the game I watched LOL)

Turns out the Country Music Awards snubbed her, and probably for reasons you can guess. #beyonce #BeyonceBowl #Beyoncé #countryMusic #cma #AmericanFootball

@ underthedesknews writes: "The 58th Annual CMA Awards garnered just 6.1 million live viewers. down 10 million viewers from its peak of 16 million in 2014 “Beyoncé Bowl" got 27 million viewers - the actual football game she performed halftime for only got 24 million views. HALFTIME WAS MORE VIEWED THAN THE GAME and she did 4.5x the views of the “awards show” that snubbed her.. Talent speaks for itself!" A photo from the half time show. Beyoncé is in a white sequin studded cowgirl outfit, with long curly blonde hair, tipping her hat as she sings surrounded by similarly dressed back up dancers on the football green.
