This year ⁦@CollingwoodHosp⁩, the #ThreeSohails (myself, Physician assistant Ms. Sohail, and Dr. Sohail Sardar) are working the next couple of days so some of our colleagues get a break. Wishing you #MerryChristmas from #TeamMuslim

@ab_vax it's freezing when I try to submit the first step of registration info

What can you do?

✏️ Read the TRC reports, https://t.co/StqWsvigxa - start w a summary if overwhelmed

✏️ Donate to a local Indigenous org, a @NAFC_ANCA member - $10 a month, less than Amazon Prime

✏️ Understand the traditional territory you are on, https://t.co/aEB4ezGeaR

❤️

Rule number 1 for today: Don’t ask an Indigenous person what you can do.

@SatSkinCamo @Puglaas The TRC Calls to Action are a good place to start - there are 94. https://t.co/qYUyM2QAl8

Many non-Indigenous people will be acknowledging Orange Shirt Day for the first time this year.

So I wanted to share a few important points / thoughts:

[Jared Wesley @DrJaredWesley]

Someone asked me today: what went wrong with Alberta's system of government that led to this catastrophe?

My answer: all democratic institutions rely on elected leaders to identify, agree upon, and pursue the common good. #ableg (Thread/rant)

[Jared Wesley @DrJaredWesley]

Plenty of people asking, "what can I do to put a halt to this COVID policy change." I understand the helplessness, but there are actually things you can do to make a difference. (Thread)

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

Canadians are so committed to reconciliation, so invested in the idea of Canada as the most tolerant and compassionate place on the planet, that they, *checks notes*, can't not blow up some fireworks and flag wave obnoxiously while many Indigenous peoples are in mourning?

[Hakique Virani🟠 @hakique]

Will they set off the sad fireworks for Remembrance Day, too? 🤦🏾‍♂️

[Democratic Socialists of Canada @demsocialistsca]

Instead of becoming irate at the fact that 15 year olds received CERB, we should be irate that there are 15 year olds that have to work to survive.

“If we're willing to continue on with this disruption for as long as it takes, that’s a good sign that we live in a very socially cohesive environment." @RPabayo #COVID19 #SocialDistancing #StayHome #publichealth

HOUSING IS HEALTH CARE. Such an important piece by @cfrangou

"COVID-19 selects without socioeconomic discrimination. But the tools for protection are not equally distributed" (reminder: @sprawlcalgary is a reader-supported independent journalism outlet!) https://t.co/FntNKFzzpZ

[Caillie Pritchard @CaillieP]

@CircularLogic89 @RogersHelps Yes, but we are still going to have to use it because of this unique situation. I’m just saying it’s unfair not to give a discount to people who are just as affected. We were able to get through to a rep a min ago and they were very helpful & did give us a discount.

[Caillie Pritchard @CaillieP]

@RogersHelps Not extending this to apply to rural customers who literally cannot access fibre service is discriminatory and unfair. Please reconsider your policy.

[Caillie Pritchard @CaillieP]

@RogersHelps It hasn’t been applied to rural users like my parents, who can only get internet services through hub/satellite. I’m a uni student who now needs to do classes online& will result in us going over our data limit - can you please waive this for rural customers too??

[Caillie Pritchard @CaillieP]

@Rogers Why does this not cover my parents’ rural hub service? I’m needing to be home and do my university classes online and our data will still be limited? How is this fair to your rural customers? Please consider extending this to all limited home internet plans.

[MaggieK 🇨🇦 @MaggieKeresteci]

While we are necessarily promoting social distancing during #COVID19 this really means physical distancing. We have to nurture community & social connection to support neighbours. We are practicing prudent physical constraints to connection, while encouraging community connection

[Marcus Gray LaPorte @MarcusGrayDoor]

Things Covid has proven:

1. The job you were told couldn't be done remotely can be done remotely

2. Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didnt want them to.

3. Internet is a utility, not a luxury

4. Universal healthcare is necessary

[Caillie Pritchard @CaillieP]

@KathleenGanley What about people outside of Calgary who will be directly negatively impacted by Springbank Dam? Other options like Maclean Creek should be fully considered (not rejected by a single overdramatic report). Really disappointed by NDP on this
