Buck Sexton said "If social media “fact checkers” existed throughout the ages, Copernicus, Newton, and Einstein would have been de-platformed for 'false news'"
Can't agree more!! Too many would be quick to judge their work. #SOCI341
What's happening in India with the farmers and their peaceful protests against the government on a global level goes to show how fast media spreads its awareness and hopefully it leads to a faster solution for all. #SOCI341
How do you guys stay in the loop of what is going on in the world? Does anyone watch the news and/or read newspaper, or is everything consumed through digital media such as Twitter and news websites? #SOCI341
Stressful times to be a student. Not only are exams stressful on its own, but knowing you would be in a room full of people in the middle of a pandemic to write an exam is definitely uneasy. Wish all who are writing an exam in person all the best. #SOCI341

@issasphere Agreed. This is utterly true as we have seen side effects of the measles vaccine when it was first launched. As it only made the situation worse so I think it's better to be safe than sorry. #SOCI341
@lilphillie2 Thankfully it turned out to be a hoax, and a lot of false news were reported from various media sources in the heat of the moment. #SOCI341
@katiana_mara In all honesty, everyone is lost somewhere within these guidelines. I recently came across a post of Quebec gym owners who say they have to keep their gyms closed, but franchised gyms like Energie Cardio in certain locations were allowed to be open... makes no sense. #SOCI341
@Emiliecourtot41 It's not easy at all, but short term sacrifice is key to getting over this pandemic sooner. I've been restricting my hours for work as well to keep myself and more importantly my family at home safe. #SOCI341
People really acting like there is no pandemic involved, what's even more disappointing is the owner of the club to allow this. He should have his business revoked at this point. #SOCI341 https://t.co/UOejyvCj9l
After reading the article for data collection last class, I decided to look at some collected data from US 2020 presidential election and came across this article. #SOCI341 https://t.co/z1WLP1QDzF
@SabrinaLalond14@madu_d01 Depending on how the next 4 years go, she just might have her turn in the next few years. After seeing how well off New Zealand has been with a female prime minister, we need more! #SOCI341
I think this best displays the capitalist aspects within politics. Constant contradiction from both the Premier and Mayor. One day we are restricted, one day we are liberated. Anything to protect the economy I guess. #SOCI341

As cases seem to decrease slowly over the last week in the city, I hope people don't take it for granted. Legault will discuss future plans soon, but we must continue take precautions. #SOCI341

Revolutionary news for the Latin. The people of Chile should be very proud of themselves for what is to come. Good things do come out after all from political conflicts. #SOCI341

@seasons_kyle I wouldn't be surprised, Canadian shows like Kim's Convenience got more life after it was added onto Netflix. People like myself didn't know about the show until seeing it on Netflix first. #SOCI341
@MariannaMosca5 Wow... that is so disturbing. With the way news spreads in digital media, I hope the innocent Muslims do not get attacked for the wrongdoings of one person. #SOCI341
Came across this picture on Reddit and it's one of the most accurate quotes I've ever read. Does this go to show us that we don't think critically enough when reading or coming across sensitive content?
How much longer is this battle of language going to continue in this province? According to 2011 Census, 94.3% of Quebecers have knowledge of French, and 47.2% have knowledge of English. Thoughts? #SOCI341

@issasphere Whatever it takes to get people to wear masks! STM can be the most risky place not to be wearing masks because of the amount of people that circulate on the metro system and buses. I too don't understand why people can't just comply with rules and safety protocols. #SOCI341
