Millions of Canadians got vaccinated, wore masks, & complied with maddening restrictions. Thanks to them, we can begin lifting the pandemic yoke off our necks. A tiny lawless mob wants to steal that credit abetted by assorted political opportunists. No way. #TruckRightOff

This reminds me of the time I gave birth to a human wearing a mask.💪💪💪

So let me get this straight: The Canadian women's hockey team wore N95 masks while easily beating Russia 6-1 at the Olympics...but some people are so inconvenienced by having to wear a mask that they're holding the city of Ottawa under siege & claiming it's all about "freedom?"

Getting the #COVID19 vaccine while breastfeeding is safe and effective. Vaccines protect you from and help prevent you from passing COVID-19 to your baby. The antibodies produced after vaccination also pass into breastmilk, which may protect babies. https://t.co/B0vpNXHwTV

This is a serious problem. Even with a negative COVID test it took some begging this week to get my kid seen in person due to her symptoms. Turns out she has an infection (and the rest of the house has been sick too). We cannot drive every sick child to ER. This has to change.
