This is just the most heartwarming video ❤️

For duck’s sake! When Steve Mallany spotted a mother duck circling a grate in his community of Evergreen late Tuesday morning, he knew he had to get help. #yyc

Goosebumps seeing those take a stand against their president knowing the risks they may face

[Ashley Groom @AAGroom]

This is heartbreaking 💔

I've spoken to many today who just "can't with the news."

Recognize that privilege. Think about what you'd be doing or feeling if this was you, your partner, your father.

This is not a video from the 1940s. This is now.

Always remember that boiling water hardens eggs yet it softens potatoes. Your circumstances don’t dictate your future, it’s what you’re made of.

Just imagine. 🌱 #SelfReg #SpeakKindly

Equality is giving everyone a shoe. Equity is giving everyone a shoe that fits. Justice is when we don't need to give everyone a shoe because they can get their own shoe...a shoe that fits.

Great article about how approaching undesired behaviour with punishment may make the behaviour worse #kidsdowelliftheycan

Relationship conflict: "You're the problem"

Task conflict: "We're going to solve this problem"

@nursekelsey Omg I love this list!

[Ashley Groom @AAGroom]

So happy to see where we are heading and I find this validating that vaccines work!

Check out the number of new COVID-19 cases among Albertans aged 80+ last week:

Just EIGHT.

That's the fewest in a full year, since the week ending June 20, 2020, which had four cases.

The highest week was the one ending Dec. 26, 2020, which had 545 cases among those aged 80+.

@kkirkup Not much unfortunately

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

215 Indigenous children found dead.

215 reasons to learn about residential schools.
215 reasons to reflect on Canada's blood stained colonial past.
215 reasons to face this country's role in genocide.

An infinite number of reasons why an entire country should be grieving.

I understand that shutting down golf is just yet another government restriction that makes no sense, but if you’re biggest source of outrage during this pandemic is the inability to golf, best believe that’s privilege.

[Kristina McGuire @kristinafromACH]

@AHS_media When we are vaccinated, when the masks are off and the restrictions are lifted, will there be enough support for our health care providers to repair their mental health? They have been there for us, we must ensure we are there for them. #PTSDisreal #mentalhealthsupports

And if you missed it back in February, here's a look inside a COVID ICU in Arizona, through the eyes of nurses, who wore GoPros on their shifts for a NYT documentary:

Communicating science is hard.

Communicating relative risks in a way that informs good decision making is harder.

Communicating immunology involves the hardest elements of both.

For more, I recommend this excellent article from last summer by @edyong: https://t.co/b9S5L9Gfht

Traffic slowed to a crawl for an adorable reason, when @Edmontonpolice escorted two geese and their goslings across the High Level Bridge. #yeg #yegtraffic
