@glenda_aus We do. But Wab didn't appear overnight. FNMI people have always been a big part of the NDP base in MB. The path to victory here will need to look different. The people who didn't bother to vote are the ones who created the last UCP victory. Gotta get out the vote.
@Saxomopho Looks like they bet wrong. The landfill being unsearched tortured so many souls, and that is now almost guaranteed to happen. Humans should never be treated life garbage. Governments that do so belong on the trash heap of history. Good riddance.
@JamesJJRyan Major historical moment. I'm going to urge my fellow Canadians, and especially the reporters, to use this moment to educate themselves on other FNMI political leaders in Canada historically. Precise language,as was used in @JamesJJRyan 'spread post, is called for. See Norquay
@DTworivers@karenrestoule@MarcMillerVM@PierrePoilievre There is no at least for the leader of a party that supported Neo nazis occupying Capital Hill. He and his base are christofascist. Don't live in denial of that fact. Follow the money south of the boarder and back to Koch.
Does public health want to lose the respect of the public forever?
By never mentioning masks, and never mentioning longCOVID, they are setting themselves up for failure.
Because many people don't want to get sick, don't want to get a disability. They just want to know what to do
@LGSentinel@LongCovidGroup@LongCovidCanada@long_covid I'm not sure I'll ever be able to work again. I am focused on adapting and accommodating myself well enough through the tasks of daily life to stop losing ground. A stable baseline remains the goal. But tackling things in 2-5 min increments followed by rest is helping. New habits
@MoriartyLab Can you point me to where to find current AB wastewater COVID data? The AB gov website mentions taking it away from the universities and giving it Alberta Health and Alberta Precision Labs. But the site only links to the universities monitoring flu and RSV. Grr.
@LauraMiers I have friends who had to give birth wearing masks. It is beyond time to make anti-vaxxer synonymous with soft and weak because they really are. Women laboured in masks. Kids with sensory sensitivities endured wearing them. The only conclusion left is that they're pathetic.
@jvipondmd I will never forgive our governments for ignoring and suppressing all information about COVID being airborne and selling the vaccine as a magic bullet to the public. We could have ended the pandemic with layered protection. Now anti-mask, anitvaxx have won. COVID won.
@jessyroos I believe this is the UCPs fault because they changed the pay structure, so doctors are paid less for phone appointments than in person visits. Family doctors work really long hours and need to pay for overhead, so I don't blame them. But the government has the power to change it
@j_b_kennedy This is why public education by groups like @LongCovidGroup is so important. Support groups since the beginning have been educating the public and advocating for research and treatment. Also disability recognition. #massdisablingevent
@DocMCohen@MoriartyLab If you turn a blind eye to abuse, you aren't a good person. A truly good person will be willing to enter the fight every single time. All fascism requires is the majority to stay neutral instead of defend those under attack. Neutrality benefits abusers. Always. Pick a side.
Honestly, if you haven't had to parent during the pandemic, just like if you didn't have to teach during the pandemic, your experience just isn't comparable. The oldest people living were babies during the last pandemic so this experience is unique. All I can say is Do Not Judge
@musicalsplainin I'm really pretty disappointed that you couldn't let it be what it was. A musical based on hundreds of hours of interviews about a real-life event in Gander. It is a Canadian musical. It isn't centering America. It isn't centering NYC on 9/11. Or the Islamophobia that followed.
@DavidLepofsky@Disability_WP@prospercan Honestly, even if the government of Alberta manages to prevent this to applying to my household, which relies of food banks inspite of LTD income, I will still be grateful for those I know who will be spared homelessness due to it. Our safety net has human sized holes in it.
@jessyroos This is adjacent to requiring in person work when the job doesn't require it. Please let us keep our spoons. We are able to function better in our work and other responsibilities when our energy isn't used on unnecessary travel to and fro.
@UbakaOgbogu Meanwhile it is the job of Calgarians living in ridings that were tight to remind their UCP MLAs that their job is to serve the centrist interests of their own constituents, NOT the beck and call of Take Back Alberta extremists.
@anarchodelphis@GosiaGasperoPhD Sadly, this is incredibly common. Women are more likely to stay from a sense of obligation if their partner becomes ill, even if they had been on the brink of leaving. Men bolt. If he doesn't care for you in health, he definitely won't in sickness.
@WAndyKnight1 I hope the voters of Fish Creek care about this. I want to think that being confronted by the racism of the UCP candidate will make a difference to some, but I am not confident.
