The safest communities aren’t the most policed. The safest communities are the most empowered & resourced.

It’s time to invest more in our communities…not policing.

A new piece by Dr Suzanne Shoush, Dr @SemirBulle & I, in today’s @TorontoStar. ✊🏽🙏🏽

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

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

The fact that the Ontario government watched our public healthcare system collapse due to underfunding...but set aside public funding just so they could invest in private for-profit healthcare…tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.

@CBCOntarioToday Can we talk about how the gov’t, like every other employer, needs to justify their expenditure on office space? If no one is in the office, it’s difficult to justify, and has significant implications for the economy.

[Alison Ralph @_alisonralph]

Late this summer I made the uncharacteristically quick decision to join a podcast accelerator with @LeadPodcasting. So, what’s my podcast about? Well, it’s about gardening. Sort of. I wrote a short blog about it. https://t.co/Mdc6BGC5P4

[L. Joy Williams @ljoywilliams]

My logic.

If we can crash something into an asteroid to see what happens why can't we invest in housing everyone and see what happens?

This quote by Arundhati Roy lives rent-free in my head: “There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

🚨I wrote about “brain fog”—one of the most common & disabling symptoms of long COVID (and many other pre-pandemic conditions), and one of the most misunderstood.

Here’s what brain fog actually is, and what it’s like to live with it. 1/

@cbcfreshair the white after labour day rule was invented by wealthy people in the 19th century who could afford to go on summer holidays. (Think the Crawley’s from Downton). In 2022, people should wear what they want. https://t.co/oi50kXpklK

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Can someone explain why, when our health system is collapsing & cases will rise in the fall/winter, the Ontario government has decided to remove the mandatory 5-day COVID isolation rule?

People will suffer due to this decision...Especially vulnerable immunocompromised people.
