Society is ALREADY apathetic toward disabled & immunocompromised lives Mask mandates lifted in 2022 Immunocompromised people disappear Mask ban proposals in 2024 More immunocompromised people disappear Society becomes even MORE apathetic & further dehumanizes us because they don’t see us 🧵 1/2

This is also false. Mask wearing was not mandated for years.

The weirdest thing about the school-reopening discourse is how no one wants to specify when, precisely, schools should have reopened. This article treats it as a scandal that schools were still closed in September 2020 but we were heading into a bigger wave than March!

"Canada Proud" is not a 'grassroots' movement. It was founded by CONServative activist Jeff Ballingall. It tries to present itself as a grassroots movement, but it's closely linked to right-wing political operatives and has been involved in disseminating misleading information. #divisivepolitics

Doug Ford is a fascist, just like Trump. An authoritarian. Anti-demcracy. Corrupt. And we gave him carte blanche

Bonnie Critchley, a retired 22-year Canadian Armed Forces veteran and long-time resident of Battle River–Crowfoot, has announced her intention to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming by-election.

Politics: #COVID is over, the pandemic is over, go live and celebrate! Science: Calm down, there is much more that COVID can do to the body.... Scientists: This is bad, I think we can use COVID-19 as a prototypical disease model for ischaemia injury. 🙄🙄

I can't emphasize this enough: Elon Musk is a symptom of the alienation that comes with sufficient accumulated wealth. His entire narrative is tailored to people used to engaging with high-level abstractions, free from any real-world evidence. None of it survives momentary contact with a shop floor.

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

PM Carney has set a new tone—and a new focus. Even Premier ⁦Ford called it the best meeting in a decade. Slogans won’t protect our economy. Collaboration and hard work will. #cdnpoli
