Knowing the strength required to both deal with and talk about mental health issues, why do we see it as weak? #Support #BellLetsTalk

@jazzyjosee I'm sure our paths will cross again. Enjoy your new opportunity!

@Panger40 Panger, I would have loved to play lax back in the day to augment our floor hockey skills.😄

I stand in solidarity with my Indigenous friends and colleagues as they mourn the lost children in residential schools. We have to be better.

@celliottability How do you announce that 80+ year olds can book their second shot starting today when no vaccines are available? Tried to book an appointment for my mom only to get message that no appointments are available in my area!

@StephenBlais @OttawaParamedic @OttFire @OttawaPolice @MarioLavoie13 That picture was from 2013. Way to focus on the day instead of stupid comments.

On National First Responders Day I am grateful for the dedicated women and men who help keep us safe. In particular my heartfelt thanks to the teams from @OttawaParamedic @OttFire & @OttawaPolice who responded to the 911 call 📞 and helped saved my life. 🙏

If Doug Ford cried while apologizing for closing playgrounds, I expect a blubbering mess for not approving paid sick leave!

[Catherine Clark @catherinejclark]

This is really powerful.

@JimWatsonOttawa @catherinekitts I'll try for the third time to make you aware that you have neglected your own employees deployed to respite centers! They are taking care of the homeless that you have vaccinated yet they've been ignored!

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

Would you mind if vaccines were provided 24/7, even if it meant you might have to get your vaccine at 3 am?

I wouldn't and I think most Ontarians wouldn't mind either.

Anytime. Any place.

RT if you support 24/7 vaccinations.
Trying to prove a point.

@srickey13 I might gag 🤮

[Alec Buchanan @BuchananAlec]

@ottawacity
Didn't get a response last time. Why are those experiencing homelessness at centers where there are breakouts getting vaccinated but your own employees who take care of them at respite centers not getting vaccinated????

[Alec Buchanan @BuchananAlec]

@ottawacity You have reassigned your own employees to respite centers to care for people experiencing homelessness, who are congregating at the 5 shelters that are experiencing Covid outbreaks, yet you do not prioritize vaccinations for the employees at respite centers. Why???

[Alec Buchanan @BuchananAlec]

@jazzyjosee Nope, missed two

[Alec Buchanan @BuchananAlec]

How embarrassing. Heard on the news this morning that Canada is the only G7 country that wi be using COVAX, the vaccine-sharing program for poor countries. We could have had our own vaccine rolling out now with proactive government action.

Today is #BellLetsTalk day - please RT this tweet to help raise funds for mental health initiatives in 🇨🇦. Please don’t be afraid to discuss your own mental health with someone you trust!

[James Duthie @tsnjamesduthie]

Not sure we’ve ever lived in a time when it’s more important to check in on friends and loved ones to make sure they are doing ok. Today would be a good day for that.

Random question. Perhaps someone with insight could offer some clarity. Why does it take so long for Health Canada to approve vaccines that have already been approved by another G7 country?

This is inclusion!
