Time to start wearing masks again. And get your booster as soon as possible.
@CIHI_ICIS Compared to peer countries, the case fatality rate for Canada (calculated using excess mortality) is still higher than the average for peer countries USA, Spain, Italy, UK, Germany, France, South Korea.
We prioritize testing to those most at risk and test less than peers.
A fascinating thing about NYC is that everyone trusts 3-1-1 and (for good reason) nobody my age calls 9-1-1. A nice old lady will help you get a pothole fixed without killing a guy. This could be a whole political platform for a smart person.
You order a coffee and they hand it to you in this.
You: Uhhh do you not have coffee cups?
Them: This is just as good.
You: It’s burning my hand though and it’s spilling.
Them: It holds coffee, doesn’t it?
You: But there’s a cup designed for this that is insulated and has a lid!
At emergency in Saskatoon. The couple next to me have been here since early morning. I wonder how long I will have to wait? I wonder how many people leave that need to see a Dr? Thanks Moe for the great healthcare. My heart goes out to these healthcare workers.❤️
Yesterday was a very emotional🥹day for me. North America's first supervised consumption has meant so much to the DTES community for 20 years. The most amazing part was seeing people from all walks of life coming together to show their love and support towards harm reduction AND recovery. The amount of people who I struggled in addiction with who are now in recovery is proof that #wedorecover , but not without #harmreduction
I was able to grill Makowski for 15 minutes this afternoon and it’s really unsettling how little he actually knows about the portfolio he holds. Genuinely like a deer in headlights any time I would ask him a question. Bizarre.
@pencilforge@abcdentminded I have the plugin Embolden At Random and i find it easier than Bionic text. I have adhd, not dyslexia.

My grandfather was so dyslexic that he could barely read for his entire life, when he would read me picture books as a kid I had to help him on nearly every page. Then in his early 70s he just suddenly fixed it somehow and now he's voraciously reading Tolstoy and Melville
i was waiting to meet someone earlier on Hastings, just east of Main, and everyone is sitting on the sidewalk and selling stuff and smoking drugs and so forth. from the other end of that block, someone calls, "kids on the block, coming that way"
Super proud of this old school crew!❣️❣️
All of us struggled in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver for years. All of us used harm reduction services, all of us battled to get out and all of us are now in recovery. All of us give back and help others! There are more than 150 years of sobriety in this picture! We do RECOVER! 💪💪 #Dtes #harmreduction #recoveryispossible
