@kirby_pitt@CityNewsTO Yes. Can I also say how extremely embarassing it is to see these HCW out there marching for them when they said nothing during our struggles during the pandemic? Heck, our own union speaks up for the teachers more than they do for us. The education sector can do no wrong.
@d_barriault@CTVToronto I always said if all the teachers in a school called in sick, it would be an inconvenience. Call in some substitutes. If all the nurses in a hospital called in sick, it would be a crisis. I think most of us are sick of the education workers thinking they're above anyone else.
@SummerRainzz@CP24 Even though it's not teachers this time, you're not wrong. The nurses union is always out there marching with the teachers "in solidarity." Where are the teachers when the nurses are burning out, told they can't take vacation, working short, and working OT to support eachother?
@IronOmie @idehubAHK @strauss_matt My best friend would go back. She has kids and rent/OSAP to pay, took a huge paycut and was working for minimum wage to support her family. She said as much as she hates it, she would go the day they called her because the pay doesn't compare.
@TracySi97172635@lx_x_leanne_x_x Best be asking if they've been recently tested, or are symptomatic. Symptomatic, jabbed + nurses are allowed to work where I live. Is that a little easier for you to accept? Your mum or dad being cared for by a + symptomatic nurse vs. An unjabbed nurse that tests daily? Hmmmm.
@ruthmjunky @Jetssuckass1 @Gini68984984 @BradDirks Thank you, and now his cousin (40) was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer after being told she could wait 6mos for a biopsy because of, you guessed it, covid backlog. I'm also sorry to read about you mom. It's so sad what it is doing to people of all ages. ๐๐๐
@EternalBlueSix @letsgetitbetter@BradDirks I think the person you're replying to is saying that we have gone from the Canada we once knew to a leftist country full of people who can't wait to point out how "racist, misogynistic, etc." we all are for the world to see.
@ruthmjunky @Jetssuckass1 @Gini68984984 @BradDirks Buried my partner last year, died at thirty one from a missed cancer diagnosis because of restrictions to screening and treatment - all for a virus with a 98% survival rate, 99.9% of sufferers are in mild condition! Given the choice, I'm sure he would have chosen COVID instead.
@ryangerritsen Never forget having to OK "no more treatment" for my partner, dying of sepsis, just so I could have a couple of his f&+)ing family members in the room with me when I became a widow at 31. #neverforget.
@cantembargo@thevivafrei "These few don't represent us, but you stood with a bunch of (supposed) white supremacists, so you're all white supremacists." It's funny that guilt by association only works when convenient.
@ViditoWanda@Ayan_SB@TerryFoxCanada Absolutely he would be, in the name of the many Canadians dying from cancer due to limited access to screening and treatment because of this virus with 99.9% of the affected in mild condition.
@gengk21@BelowZeroGames@TerryFoxCanada It's gross that he can't acknowledge the Canadians who want freedom from mandates, but will retweet stuff about Terry Fox because it suits his narrative. Kinda similar to Singh's tweets yesterday about white supremacy.
