The pandemic is NOT over.
1700 people died from

in May in Canada.
That’s 54 per day or 1 every 26 minutes.
And that’s likely UNDER reported given the ‘for Covid’ and ‘with Covid’ distinction.
But let’s ignore that right?
Today: Guy who immigrated to Canada 12 years ago whining about how Trudeau is going to let "all these immigrants" into the country and it will make housing more expensive etc. etc.
When reminded he was also an immigrant, has nothing to say.
WTF is wrong with people??
Is it odd for a doctor's office in Toronto to NOT have a mask requirement when entering?
I know the government removed general mask mandates, but wouldn't/shouldn't doctor's offices be one place they should be enforced?
It’s time we learn to live with cancer.

In the 18 months since the pandemic started, what has .

i.e. name concrete things they've done to promote the well being and safety of Canadians. Anyone? Anything?

You voted AGAINST the M-103 anti-Islamophobia motion in 2017 AFTER 6 Muslims were murdered in Quebec.
You supported the Barbaric Cultural Practices Act; the very definition of Islamophobic legislation.
We don't need your fake sympathy Pierre.
BREAKING: ON government says they have plenty of morgue space available if ICU beds overflow with Covid patients in this latest wave.
No changes to public health protections are planned.

For a lot of people, war and destruction are acceptable when they are done against people of colour in “uncivilized” nations like Syria or Afghanistan, but not when done to “civilized European” nations.
It’s 2022 and it’s clear we have not progressed much since WWII.

Or maybe this was intentional on your part, giving an extremist air time on your network?

Yes or No Pierre. It's a simple question:
Will you condemn what happened to Min. Freeland and state that no one should behave that way to ANY one, including the DPM or PM?
Yes or No?
Wow! This blew up. 100K+ views, 2000+ likes.
I'm not sure how many are ppl who see the sarcasm & liked it, & how many actually thought it was true & liked it.
Regardless, Doug Ford has basically said, let the virus spread, you're on your own. Remember that in June's election.

Tell us more about this relative. Why does he (I'm assuming he) dislike Ihlan Omar?
Also, just out of curiosity, what's his view of giving pardons to soldiers who killed Muslim civilians including children.
A year ago, w/ 100s of cases detected (though w/ many more in the public), we had a total lockdown in ON.
Now, w/ 1800 cases/day & rising, & more infectious/deadly variants (eg. B.117) dominant, we are opening up.

How to speak truth to power without coming across as blunt, abrasive, combative or otherwise confrontational.

Ottawa was not the only place with blockades.
The blockades at Windsor and Coutts AB were blocking cross border trade and impacting the national economy.
Factories were shutting down due to lack of parts etc.
The Feds acted in the national interest.
@AngusReid
Notice the Post sees this only as a shortage of hospital beds, & not as the unnecessary deaths of 100s of people & suffering of 1000s due to bad UCP decisions.
It's not about helping people & doing the right thing.
It's about private health care and beds!! Think about that.

They cut inspections, let 4000+ seniors die in LTCs, rewarded the LTC companies and saw no political damage from it.

I tweeted this a while back. People need to understand, they are focused on their goals. Nothing else.
@DrKateTO
@Billius27
Why would a government who let ~4000 seniors die in LTC homes despite vowing to protect them care about kids?
Their priority is clearly serving their corporate donors - who want to privatize health care, education etc.

Strategic voting is voting for the party that can defeat the CPC in your riding. If you're Liberal, & they can't win, vote NDP & vice versa.
47 ridings are in play. Make your vote count /1
@theJagmeetSingh
And what will you do about it?
Will you call out Provincial Premiers like Ford who are breaking it up, or will you continue to gaslight?
Offer solutions, not pablum tweet. Can the Canada Health Act be applied to force provinces to comply?
Do something of value or step aside.

Oh Melissa...you played your cards and we know what you truly are about.
Go console Pat King and Tamara Lich as they are the kinds of protesters you truly support, or go back to Fox News and complain about the tyranny here in Canada.

Is this you Melissa? Spouting BS on an *American* right-wing "news" channel? Why?
It's time for an inquiry into CPC collusion with these "protesters".

What we saw in Ottawa etc. recently was not new. Remember the Yellow Vest convoy from 2019. and how the Cons also sucked up to that, with all it's white supremacy, Islamophobia etc? And that wasn't even the beginning of it.

Wonder why Ford intentionally wants to divert attention from the

If I were a reporter, I’d focus on the Auditor General and not Fords diversion. There will be real news from the AG.

Strategic voting only works if:
a) people come out to vote
b) they understand who to vote for
c) actually vote that way
d) are united in that understanding
e) the opposition parties actually give them a reason to vote for them.
None of these happened.

The racism Monsef faced, the threats that McKenna faced, the misogyny that so many women politicians face are not unrelated. This should be a issue that is addressed publicly across parties.

@mini_bubbly
It took them 4 waves but Kenney and team achieved their goal.
And now watch as they promote how private for-profit health care is the solution to the overburdened health care system.
This is what O'Toole wants for Canada as well. Corporate welfare on a grand scale.
@CanadianPolling
The point of the election was to let Canadians decide whether they approved of the job the government has been doing and whose plan for coming out of the pandemic they preferred.
The fact the numbers are similar to 2019 means the voters approve of this gov like they did in 2019.
@PBethlenfalvy
But you’re starting with a below inflation increase this year after YEARS of freezing the ODSP.

Can't wait to see O'Toole's superstar line up in his shadow Cabinet. Previous shadow Cabinet included:

Name one thing he's actually done to help Canadians, young or old, in 18 years he's been an MP. Name one?

They're "mask friendly". I went last week to donate.

Mask friendly and mask optional are NOT the same.
Mask friendly sounds like they tolerate masks.

Nothing would make me happier on election day than to see one or both of O'Toole and Poilievre defeated.
They did NOTHING to help Canadians during the pandemic, and in fact tried to make things worse. Hopefully voters will hold both to account.

Correction Erin....
A Canadian charity would have received money to pay employees for services rendered by that charity in operating a government program. The money didn't go to "friends".

Fixed it: Despite receiving 10s of BILLION$ in pandemic relief from Ottawa, premiers like Ford, Kenney & Moe have squandered that money & failed to use it to increase hospital capacity & acquire PPE & rapid tests because, as we all know, Health Care is a prov. responsibility.
@harrisonlowman
It’s funny how the same people complaining about Trudeau’s spending to address and global pandemic and economic shutdown are silent about Harper’s $150B of debt and Mulroney’s $300B of debt racked up because of tax cuts and Cons policy.
Elections Canada does not use Dominion Voting Systems. We use paper ballots counted by hand in front of scrutineers and have never used voting machines or electronic tabulators to count votes in our 100-year history.
