So honoured to be a witness to Dr. Ballard’s work! ⁦@ECCCSciTech⁩ Canada is 'weaving' Indigenous science into environmental policy-making - CBC News https://t.co/V3W9gSfBfW

My 16 yo is waiting alone in an adult emergency department tonight because he’s too old for @IWKHealth, and @nshealth won’t allow a “support person”. When you are a 16 yo, you are still a child, and should have a right to have a parent present. Unacceptable.

The book is The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy. Read it with your kids. Thanks @amightygirl for the recommendation

Understanding the Power of #Gaslighting - Scientific American - powerful read by ⁦⁦@paigelsweet⁩ provides a framework to think about oppression we see and read about. Reminded me of a beautiful book by ⁦@anneursu⁩ I now want to reread https://t.co/AnpG5772M0

Pretty sure my kid used most of the vinegar making volcanoes and topped it up with water so I wouldn’t get mad. #Science #cookingfail

@mandyjmoore My eldest masked before masking was cool and wears one 7 hours a week doing the sport she loves. Only affirmations that she is keeping family and friends safe.

[Amanda Barry @BarryAM]

My kid had a major fall at school after tripping on a coat on the classroom floor because they cannot store coats away from their desks because of COVID distancing. And masks have to go first? @Sflecce there are a lot of “back to normal” in schools before masks

[Amanda Barry @BarryAM]

Yay! Look forward to this all year @WBU_Owls

[WBU Barred Owl Cam @WBU_Owls]

3:00 3/4 We have a third egg! Not sure if it was laid on 3/3 or 3/4 but here's our first good look at the new arrival.

Fellow Ontario drivers - please like and retweet if you would rather pay $120 a year to renew your license plate than lose aprox $1-billion A YEAR in govt spending on public services like healthcare and education. #onpoli #onted

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

Doug Ford’s license plate sticker bribe to voters will cost Ontario $1 billion in revenue. The self-proclaimed “fiscally responsible” Conservatives have blown up our debt & run record deficits for 4 years while making cuts to health care, education, social services… #onpoli

[Amanda Barry @BarryAM]

@FBorgal Ottawa Farm Fresh on Ramsayville Road - you can tour, shop, sometimes do yoga. Very community oriented and making some great improvements that will increase hang out potential even more.

[City of Ottawa @ottawacity]

There will be no curbside or multi-residential green bin, recycling or garbage collection on Monday, January 17 due to the Significant Weather Event. Monday pick-up will take place on Tuesday, January 18 and all collection will be delayed by 1 day for the remainder of the week.

[Amanda Barry @BarryAM]

Can the @ottawacity just cancel #monday #Snowfall ? @OCDSB

[Amanda Barry @BarryAM]

A kid walks into a classroom…how long until they get COVID? Best estimate @OttawaHealth @DFisman ? I need to be at least a bit prepared. After 2 years avoiding almost every possible exposure I’m not sure how to process what’s next
