@davidkorell @Rogers @RogersHelps @citymississauga I am also shocked and disappointed by the complete lack of information and warning we received as homeowners from @rogers and @citymississauga that someone was going to disrupt our personal property. All while also finding out that our property taxes increased by 20% this year.

[Penny Yin @PennyYinMD]

@Rogers - You disrupted my lawn without my permission, left it unattended for days, and then gave me the runaround on the phone for 60 minutes of "we can't do anything for you since you don't have an account with us". Is this not public vandalism?

[Penny Yin @PennyYinMD]

@davidkorell @Rogers @RogersHelps @citymississauga Of note this it has been over 5 days since the initial incident. @rogers sure put a new meaning into ‘as soon as possible’.

[Penny Yin @PennyYinMD]

@davidkorell @Rogers @RogersHelps @citymississauga No response or action after 24 hours. We did not ask for this disruption to our personal property which is still pending resolution. @citymissis

Hearing reports of a mass poisoning event related to a Markham restaurant, possibly involving aconite

Aconitine is a highly toxic alkaloid derived from the genus Aconitum (monkshood, wolfsbane and others)

If I were the health minister of a province in which several thousand good RN positions went unfilled, one thing I would do is gather as many departing nurses as I could survey and ask them why they left.

[Penny Yin @PennyYinMD]

calling on medical residents/staff to fill in the job of an ED nurse is wrong on so many levels, not to mention simply insulting to nurses. #onhealth is collapsing and this is not the solution. #RepealBill124

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

This arrived in the inbox of a Dr friend of mine today. Toronto Western Hospital is desperate for “extenders” to staff the ER this weekend because they can’t find enough nurses.

Our system is collapsing.

Where is our new Health Minister? #onpoli #onhealth

If true, it’s probably the first tank ever stolen by a farmer… ))

Best of luck to all of @UofT_DoM's PGY-3 residents with their RC exams!

Just in case any of those people who drove to Ottawa want to see what a real protest looks like against a dictator.

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

I dare a single Canadian to complain about their lack of freedom for being offered a life-saving vaccine at no cost, when 40 million Ukrainians are under the deadly weight of tyranny.

Wanna know the only difference between you & a refugee?

Luck.

Retweet this if you stand with health workers.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

We’ve got a housing crisis. An overdose death crisis. A COVID healthcare crisis. A climate crisis…To the "freedom protestors": The worst part about what’s happening in Ottawa is that you've taken up so much space from the real crises impacting us…You are NOT oppressed. #GoHome!

[Dr. Alexander Wong @awong37]

How about we ALL shift attention away from the trucker side show and celebrate the CONVOYS of teachers, school & daycare staff, HCWs, and first responders tirelessly showing up every freaking day?

Elected officials have forgotten about them. Please, let's NEVER do the same.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Hey! Look! Did you see that massively huge convoy of health workers who has gone in to work each & every day to provide healthcare for vulnerable people amidst staffing shortages, snowstorms & a raging pandemic? Yeah...shoutout to that convoy. That convoy is the best. 🙌🏾

The cognitive dissonance of being hesitant to get a covid vaccine but subsequently wanting any available therapy to treat the infection highlights to me how terrible it is to struggle for breath.

[Melanie de Wit @witmelanie]

Only ~25% of people aged 70+ have had a 3rd dose

Can’t we have a fast track for over 65? Ie. “If you’re over 65, come to any vaccination site - no appt necessary and don’t wait in line!” #fasttrack65+
