Friends! I’m taking a journalism course at @Concordia and writing a story about folks who don’t have a family doctor. If you’re without a doctor and willing to answer a few questions, please reach out!

this idea that everyone needs to post about everything otherwise they’re ignorant/evil/complacent etc is v harmful and just creates more performative activism. also everyday ppl shouldn’t be expected to issue statements on every possible social issue. find actual experts.

[Emily Kathen @EmilyKathen]

I still haven’t recovered from that day.

[Justin A. Rick @Justin_A_Rick]

I see everyone who is complaining about NYT Wordle has already forgotten about KNOLL.

To cleanse your timeline, might I suggest:

[abi balingit 🌸 MAYUMU OUT NOW! 🌸 @theduskykitchen]

mango diaspora behold produce bag earrings full of tiny clay mangoes! 😭🥭

[Emily Kathen @EmilyKathen]

Will now be calling them TruckBros™️ and nothing else.

[Emily Kathen @EmilyKathen]

I’ve been wondering this from the start! Whose trucks are these?? Don’t they need them back?? Surely not ALL of these people own their own personal 16-wheeler trucks? I still have so many questions.

This is your daily reminder that 89% of adult Canadians are fully vaccinated.

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

So let me get this straight: The Canadian women's hockey team wore N95 masks while easily beating Russia 6-1 at the Olympics...but some people are so inconvenienced by having to wear a mask that they're holding the city of Ottawa under siege & claiming it's all about "freedom?"

[Emily Kathen @EmilyKathen]

No longer living in Ottawa, but spreading the word anyway 👇🏼

[Emily Kathen @EmilyKathen]

This is not about freedoms.

[Emily Kathen @EmilyKathen]

@ABrumer17 Exactly!!

[Emily Kathen @EmilyKathen]

Damn. Imagine how exhausted they’d be if they were actually doing something.

[Horizon Ottawa @HorizonOttawa]

Sloly says that officers are exhausted, many are working 12-18 hour shifts and haven't had a day off in 13-14 days because their time off has been canceled in light of these events. He acknowledges "tremendous support" from OPP, RCMP and at least 7 other police forces.

Gary you've been cracking cold ones and shooting off fireworks with the boys for over a week. You could probably do with a bit less freedom at this point.

I know I’m not the only Torontonian who can’t stop thinking about this video

[Yvonne. @YvonneYYZ]

I may have just given incorrect walking timing and directions to some maskless protestors who wandered out of Union Go Station when they asked me how to get to Parliament Hill.

[Emily Kathen @EmilyKathen]

“We need to take this as a wake up call, to take this as a threat of the far-right, and conspiracy theory kind of movements. We need to accept that this is not just an American problem. It’s a Canadian problem.”

[Emily Kathen @EmilyKathen]

It’s giving “You were asking for it by wearing revealing clothing” vibes.

This is completely unacceptable.

[Emily Kathen @EmilyKathen]

?!?!

[Blair Crawford @GetBAC]

Good to know ⁦@ottawacity⁩ is still handing out parking tickets. I did deserve it, staying 3 hours in a 2-hour zone while covering the 5th day of the protest convoy.
