The Titanic submarine is a modern morality tale of what happens when you have too much money, and the grotesque inequality of sympathy, attention and aid for those without it.

Migrants are “meant” to die at sea; billionaires aren’t.

@sunderland_jude: "The willingness to allow certain people to die while every effort is made to save others ... it’s a, you know, really dark reflection on humanity."

@RachelNotley This is where midwives are being significantly under-utilized. OBs support low risk births all the time that could be attended by a midwife in the hospital. Saves their time and skill - and supports cost effective and evidence based care

@FionaMattatall @noreasterGail @TheBlueGem3 It’s especially hard in rural locations where everything is now couriered 3 hours away instead of local lab facilities that are fantastic

@MMCald68 @RebeccaBounsall The only on the west side. Taber, Medicine Hat and Brooks are seeing women travelling from Lethbridge for care

[Stacy Peleskey @SPeleskey]

So grateful to have excellent locums supporting the area, but it’s not sustainable and midwives are doing their best to fill the gap- but only low risk and we do not have enough resources for the demand

Dear Danielle Smith:

I’m a Calgary OBGYN covering labour and delivery in Lethbridge today. This is a full-blown women’s health crisis and it’s about time you treat it as such.

Feel free to call our unit. I’m working for 48hrs. Happy to discuss strategies #ableg

All of Canada needs to stop what they are doing, spare a thought for the child whose jawbone was found on the grounds of the Qu’Appelle Indian Residential School in Lebret, Saskatchewan. Bone is about 125 years old, Sask coroner says. Child was btwn 4 to 6 years. @fsinations

At the request of elders we will now refer to the unidentified Indigenous woman murdered by the serial killer in Winnipeg as ‘Buffalo Woman’ instead of unidentified woman. Until her name is found, we honour her.

@Jt82pdx I would say Housecoat in reference to a robe worn at home

Ukraine’s President Zelenskiy said “a mass burial site” has been found in Izyum, a city Russian troops abandoned last week during the advance by Ukrainian forces.

The country’s Ministry of Defense said the largest burial site has “440 unmarked graves” https://t.co/q8NOV6mET7

I just learned the word "bussin" from Urban Dictionary and will now be using it exclusively in front of my 12-year-old to ruin her life.

If you have encouragement or advice for my nephew and his wife, please share. If you have experience with CPS and want to share, that would also be helpful. If you know of an excellent lawyer in Boston who is an expert in these types of cases, please let us know.

@CatcherOfBabies @stephshantz Same. Expensive and draining but effective

Has anyone else noticed a new uptick of weird privacy things again on @facebook ? Fairly certain they are reading my texts and suggesting friends based on conversations #DeleteFacebook
