"Mild" COVID-19 can cause vascular, neurological, and very concerningly t cell damage. The more times you get Covid, the more at risk you are. Public health needs to do a much better job informing people of this.
Trudeau got a standing ovation and I sat here today and watched nearly every Canadian news outlet amplify the most heinous far, far white wing supremacists for likes and clicks instead of reporting that. It's a sad day.
@CBCNews
@CTVNews
@GlobalNational
Can we not?
@Leafer1
@davidfrum
When this didn't end it I lost a lot of faith in humanity. I still am not over that. Any excuse for staying on board and voting for Trump after this was just appalling and remains so.
@TheEliKlein
You must be so proud of yourself for challenging a pet clinic that just want to protect themselves in their own business. I certainly wouldn't flex this on Twitter like it's a good thing.
A reminder that anti-vaxxers have called in bomb threats to four hospitals so far. One in Toronto, three in Ottawa including Children's Hospital. Not one person who doesn't want to get a vaccine spoke out against that. So no, I won't be "uniting" with them.
As long as I live on this planet, however long that is, I will NEVER understand what was so damned hard about wearing a mask and getting a vaccine and getting on with your life while doing it. Never.
Why can't we build little houses as we did after WWII? People raised families in those little "wartime" houses and it was just fine. They were well built, usually one bathroom and 2-3 bedrooms. Wood floors etc. They weren't big but, they were built to be affordable. NO McMansions
So CBC news literally just called Poilievre's Apples video thing a political win. I am so done with this crap. It was disgusting and UnCanadian. It was peak narcissist, it was Trumpian and a disgrace.
@CBCNews
Disgraceful.
One of the slimiest things I've seen our media do
@CBCNews
was to sit there and watch Cons set up Trudeau to have to envoke the emergencies act so they could attack him for it with nary a thought for the people of Ottawa or this country.
We had so much fun at PEI Pride today! Let’s keep working together to make this country more inclusive for our 2SLGBTQI+ relatives, friends, coworkers, and neighbours.
If your protest is threatening the Prime Minister of Canada and holding him responsible for something he has ZERO control over while at the same time putting him in danger then you have 100% lost my support.
Hi, I'm Doug Ford. I was given billions of dollars to spend on healthcare during this pandemic and I spent it on something else (Not telling you.) and now I need the Feds to give me more money. I am making highways, I can't spend on healthcare.
@FordNation
So let me get this straight. If Justin Trudeau takes one day off when he has Covid Cons lose their damn minds but,during a MEDICAL crisis Dr. Moore can high tail it off to the Caribbean and disappear and that's "No problem"
@fordnation
@celliottability
Do I have that about right?
I am not distracted by Mulrooney endorsing Pierre today. They needed a headline to distract from the fact that Pierre is a misogynist. Not going to work and shame on you, Brian Mulrooney.
Man who just returned from his very expensive cottage, golfing and going on his yacht heads to his 3 million dollar home and says it's "time for austerity measures.
@FordNation
GFY
Rob Ford smoked crack, hired prostitutes probably on the public dime, and was a stone cold criminal yet he did not step down. John Tory is not stepping down because of an affair. Good lord.
I am seeing a bunch of jerks on here complaining about the NDP win in Manitoba and the new Speaker in Parliament as "playing identity politics." OH? You mean as opposed to the "identity politics" we all had to play where only WM could be in positions of power for 100s of years?
@RepHerrell
Girl, you don't know WHAT you are even talking about. Jamming 911 with fake calls on two occasions, calling in bomb threats to hospitals just today, attacking people in the street in Ottawa, if these are the kinds of people you want? YOU CAN HAVE THEM.
My neighbours 40 yr old son just died of a heart attack. I just found out a minute ago. FFS. He was perfectly healthy. I'll let you all conclude what happened but, I'll say this, VERY poor public health messaging is killing people. Ya'll keep my neighbours in your thoughts today.
Canada had 1700 Covid deaths in May alone. Instead of writing stories about Kate Faith who couldn't see her grandpa before he died because SHE refused to get vaccinated? Let's hear the life stories of all those we have so tragically lost to this preventable spread of Covid.
I talked to a lady today that I have known for quite a while. Nice woman. However today she said to me "I am concerned about housing. My parents were refugees but, because of housing I am going to vote conservative." 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I told her housing is PROVINCIAL.
Hi,
@CBCNews
Can we find out who suggested this veteran to Rota for attendance? Let's do that. Someone suggested him. So let's find out who did that and go from there.
I am very concerned that the entire Canadian media went down this hotel room propaganda hole when they HAD TO KNOW the Queens funeral arrangements designated where foreign dignitaries would stay.
So it's 10:48 a.m. Just got a call from my son. A Toronto paramedic. Hospitals are so backed up that his shift started at 7 last night and he's just now driving home. 3 and a half hours past his end shift time.
@FordNation
COVID IS NOT OVER. Thanks for not having HCW back.
So school boards have been threatened with take over by the province if they reinstate mask mandates? Is that right
@FordNation
You are mandating getting people sick now?
@robferguson1
@RevivalCare
@Sflecce
Or what? Fire everyone in the board? Good luck with that. Local boards have the right and responsibility to protect their staff and students first.
To the couple in Kelowna who made a 9 year old girl leave a sports event unless she proved she was a girl? This is exactly the sort of thing the Taliban does on the streets. They want a religious police state.
@Bungbunged
@CyKoore
Why is this man NOT in prison? I do not understand how someone can threaten the police and not at the very least be arrested.
@OttawaPolice
Pat King is threatening that you won't be safe unless you drop your badge and join them.
@fordnation
@JustinTrudeau
You have screwed up big time with this one, Doug. If you supported children you wouldn't gut healthcare and education and their future worker rights! Now go TESTIFY OR RESIGN.
@CarymaRules
@fordnation
@HamiltonPolice
REALLY?!!! "She had her opportunity." to do what? Not be outside? Not to mention the way he jerked her around like that. This is fucking outrageous!
@iamchanteezy
She fought so hard for this. It was so important to her and people forget that back then doing this? Everyone called her a communist and most of middle America hated her for it. She did it anyway.
I keep hearing there is a stomach virus going around. NO, it's Covid. We dropped all protections and this variant has gastrointestinal symptoms that are not easily picked up on RAT tests.
Who else thinks we need a deep dive into why HARPER sold out our media to foreign interests? Before Harper, it was not allowed for foreign interests to own our media. He made it possible for them to own up to 60%. It's brought nothing but, bullshit to this country. Reverse this!
I really can't understand why it isn't a flaming controversy that PP hired "Canada Proud" to work on his campaign. This is a dangerous organization and the media had their hair on fire about Margaret Trudeau's speeches but, not so much this?
@CBCNews
@CTVNews
@GlobalNational
So introduce a bill that has nurses leaving in droves, remove all Covid protections and make their job even harder, then turn around and blame the crammed-up ERs on nurses and seniors. Exploit seniors who died in droves in LTC, blame them for the crisis YOU caused.
@FordNation
Pierre's bot farms are out in full force today. 24 thousand people did not tweet negatively about Trudeau all at the same time and get a hashtag trending without being coordinated, bought, and paid for. I wonder if he employs these bot farms with tax dollars?
I would just like to thank
@POTUS
for coming to Canada. For standing up for women. For calling out those who refused to stand up for women and for calling out Pierre's lack of loyalty. Well, done Mr. President. Well, done!
Do not assume that PP cannot be PM. We sat at home and re elected Doug Ford in Ontario KNOWING he would privatize everything he could. We knew who he was and we stayed home anyway so get ready and don't assume anything ever again.
Why does
@ShopprsDrugMart
charge TWO fees for the same prescription? I take Synthroid. 125. It only comes in up to 100 so I get a bottle of 100 and a bottle of 25. They charge me a fee TWICE for using two bottles on the same prescription. Going to go to another pharmacy.
Our media needs to be dragging the floor with Poilievre's horrendous behavior towards Zelensky and his advocacy for hatred in all the ways he has done so. Right now. Poilievre is a dangerous monster.
You need to know that if you are out here on social media making overt or veiled threats to the Prime Minister of Canada I will report those remarks to the police and other relevant authorities.
I'm going to tell my family here in Canada that I do not want a Christmas present this year. I want you to make a donation to the Liberal party of Canada for me.
Maybe our healthcare should be federal and not provincial anymore. The provinces have done a right fu job during this pandemic for the most part and now? They're just straight up denying Covid even exists while the numbers climb higher.
The Conservative party cheered when Bill 7 was passed. They cheered on rejecting seniors from hospital care. They cheered blackmailing them, they cheered sending them to for-profit death homes.
@CPC_HQ
We will not forget this. It's on video. Forever.
This is a scandal of epic proportions. NOT someone going to Tofino or the pattern on their damned socks, not even their separation from their spouse. THIS. THIS is a horrific news worthy on repeat scandal.
So the Modi government murders a Canadian and Poilievre sticks up for them. We later find out that it is an international 5 eyes investigation in multiple murders.
Today we learned that Modi may have gotten Pierre Poilievre elected leader of The CPC.
Shout out to my friend Gillian who years ago adopted a child. Then found out he had 3 siblings in foster care across Canada and adopted all of them too. The last one is off to university this year. Love you, Gillian!
All of these weirdo men like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk going on media to talk about what a shit show Canada is? The ONLY issue we have nowadays is the hellscape the CONSERVATIVE PREMIERS have caused. They smear our whole country with the hellscape the Conservative Party has caused.
Hi,I'm a spouse of 42yrs, a school employee who worked on anti-bullying programs for 20 years. I host international students& help them learn about our country. I knew Trudeau wasn't talking about me because I've never cozied up to domestic terrorists. (not inserting fake photo)
I don't actually agree that healthcare should be provincial. It should be federal run by a federal independent commission staffed by ONLY experienced medical care professionals. ONE healthcare card for the entire country.
@JustinTrudeau
Now is the time.
Oh HI, Canada! This is Madrid. A quarter of a million people protest to protect their public healthcare. Want to know why we're getting privatization? Because we won't do THIS. Pearl clutching has not cut it.
#MadridSeLevanta12F
Huge demonstration in Madrid. More than 250,000 people demonstrate to defend the public health system and protest against its privatization.
Imagine in your lifetime a pandemic hits. Probably the toughest challenge your country and the world have faced in decades and your decision is to refuse to help fight the pandemic and instead to drive around honking your horn to allow variants to rage while others pay the price
So I just read today that we have thousands of Moderna shots about to expire and be thrown away. WHY then are people over 60 not able to get a full dose booster? Such a silly question right? Because NOTHING we are doing is logical right now. Nothing.
You know, I wasn't a huge Trudeau supporter when he first became our PM but, as time goes on I am so damned glad he has been PM during this awful time in our history. Thank you, Prime Minister!
Threats, violence, and intimidation are always unacceptable. As leaders, we need to call it out. We need to take a united stance against it. And we need to work together to put an end to it.
I was talking to a friend who has done vaccine clinics in rural parts of India. He said people walk for days with their kids to get them vaccinated. One man came and he was disabled so crawled there by scooting on a cardboard box. Yet here we are having Karen convoys.
So I damaged my shoulder and neck. Went to see the doctor/NP. Was told the wait list for physio is six months so wasn't even put on the list. I need physio. Going to have to pay out of pocket. Over 65 supposed to qualify for OHIP for this. Instead, I need a Visa card.
@FordNation
We need a national inquiry into these Premiers who held money back from our healthcare system while we are in this pandemic. How many lives did this cost? Sitting on funding while people die is not okay.
@FordNation
the drumbeat for an investigation is getting louder and louder.
Does anyone have any major press coverage of the massive rallies against Ford held in Ontario yesterday? It's a pretty big deal. Bigger than I'd say Trudeau's socks or a trip to commemorate the loss of his brother. Both covered extensively.
My spouse came home from work yesterday and plowed the driveway, and shoveled all the sidewalks, porches, and deck. I thought he was done. No, he plowed a big round track in our backyard so Ellie wouldn't sink deep into the snow when she goes out. Now that is love.
If you are coming out to support CUPE in Kingston today do not park at the Canadian Tire parking lot. We've been told people will be towed. Imagine that. People getting towed away the first day of a protest.
Cons bitching about how bad things are in Canada right now when they are in charge of most of the provinces speaks to their incredible lack of self-awareness.
@Abster_1983
@Fred_Langlois_
This is why I think we are going to have to find creative ways to restructure our lives. Do the mandates, make testing more available, keep your bubble and learn to live with that. This is the new normal and we're going to have to accept it like adults.
@Sflecce
YOU are the disruption. You are. General Strike in support of Cupe workers. You will not trample the rights of education workers and paint yourself as the crusader of anything and get away with it. No, you will not. We see you.
As a senior, I'm starting to fear going to the ER for a lot of reasons, Covid being one but, if you end up needing LTC? Maybe some will decide just to not go..stay home...die there instead, without care? Not a nice way to think about your last years here.
@FordNation
I am still investigating every account that posts health disinformation and anti vax, pro-Covid rhetoric. The vast majority are still low follower bots. We need a story on how these pro-Covid movements have been manufactured by foreign disrupters.
Apparently, Joe Rogan is having a podcast asking if Trudeau is a dictator? What's the end game with these people anyway? This sort of ridiculous discourse is damaging to democracies everywhere yet it continues.
A dear friend lost her younger brother yesterday to Covid. He was in his forties. I honestly cannot fathom why we are tolerating this gaslighting that Covid is over when it is not.
@FordNation
@SylviaJones
shameful. RIP, you were loved by siblings, nieces, nephews, and friends.
@RepHerrell
OH you are getting your news about this from FOX? LOL!! This wasn't a single thing like you are describing it at ALL. This was Ford's job, a conservative, he did NOTHING and Trudeau had to act, the VAST majority of Canadians support the EA. Get in your lane and stay there!
I had an appt at LifeLab today. A woman came in with her teen daughter who was very sick& asked if they could fit her in. The. mother had on NO MASK. They sat right next to me. Daughter was very ill. Hardly could sit up. I asked the tech to please ask the woman to put on a mask😡
If it feels like
@FordNation
and his minions across this province just do whatever the hell they want and don't work for you? That's because that's the way it is. From healthcare to the so called integrity commission. It's a mafia and it's nothing to do with the people of Ontario
If I know that someone will die if I do not intervene and I sit there and allow the person to perish that is a criminal act.
@FordNation
knows people will die if he doesn't do something about this healthcare crisis. So does
@SylviaJonesMPP
Their inaction is criminal. Period.
So Toronto Firefighters union and Toronto Paramedics are standing with CUPE. Doug Ford you better get your head out of your ample behind and wake up. This province is NOT going to stand for you walking all over union workers.
Yeah, so the Wolfe Island Ferry had to shut down at 7 p.m. one evening recently due to not having enough crew available. I have NEVER seen that happen before. Maybe allowing a virus to run rampant wasn't such a great idea.
Today in Kingston an Indian immigrant went to the gym and endured racist remarks there that are so vile I won't repeat them. The rise of this sort of behaviour needs to be SHUT DOWN. We need to vote in numbers so big that these emboldened jerks crawl back under their rocks.
#MadridSeLevanta12F
Huge demonstration in Madrid. More than 250,000 people demonstrate to defend the public health system and protest against its privatization.
The federal government promised to give 196 billion more in healthcare funding if the Premiers will show where the money will go and be accountable. So far, they have not done that.
@FordNation
why are you allowing this suffering to go on? Be accountable.
So far today that is three Canadian accounts that criticize Doug Ford and PP that have been suspended. If Elon wanted Truth Social why didn't he just buy that instead.
If you are on the board of directors of ANY hospital in this province right now you need to start calling press conferences. You should have done it before the election but, it's not too late. Enough is enough. Speak up.
