If you can’t find liquid Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Advil/Motrin (ibuprofen):

1. Many pharmacies are compounding these. Call around.

2. Weigh your child. Use measured & cut portions of chewable or adult versions:
- Tylenol: 15 mg/kg every 4h
- Advil/Motrin: 10 mg/kg every 6h

Use your postal code to compare your urban heat island with the rest of your City.

"A CBC News data analysis shows that immigrants and people with low income are most likely to live in the hottest urban areas."

Just completely in awe of how many people in Edmonton are wound up about mosquitoes, but ignore that we have 2 people dying every day of drug poisoning.

#yeg !!! City Council has a survey about masking up. This is being shared pretty widely in anti-mask/anti-vax groups w/ the intent of getting rid of masking. If you would like to see ongoing masking for the next while, please fill it out. https://t.co/lEUYQhyV83

A former child solider struggling with PTSD was in crisis and holding a metal stick. Police attacked him with a dog. When he defended himself against the dog the police shot him 4 times.

There were so many other ways to handle this situation. Police don’t keep community safe

@jkenney Will you also apologize unreservedly for your years of anti-LGBTQ2S activism and pledge to do better?

You could show you mean it with action. Like by repealing Bill 8, which made your provincial government the first in Canada to roll back LGBTQ2S+ rights.

I have more ideas too.

I spent the day calling pharmacies in #Lethbridge and #Airdrie, seeing who would stock #Mifegymiso for #MedicalAbortion. Here are a few wild things I learned:

Kids from privileged families will be staying home from school tomorrow.
Meanwhile, less-privileged kids will test Bonnie Henry's theories about Omicron transmissibility.
This is a social justice issue.

@AmazonHelp So just to sum up...
me: FRAUD!
amazon: okay thanks we will take care of it
me: did you take care of it?
amazon:
me: ?
me: ??
amazon: don't call us anymore

[Emily Vespi @emilyvespi]

Hey @amazonca @AmazonHelp I reported fraudulent behaviour SIX times in the last month & asked my account to closed. Your service reps keep telling me they will call me back and they NEVER do. The total lack of care for your customers or our private information is astounding.

[Emily Vespi @emilyvespi]

@AmazonHelp How do I get in contact with them or escalate this? This is ridiculous. I call, am told the specialist will email me. No email. I call again. Told same thing. SIX TIMES!

[Emily Vespi @emilyvespi]

@AmazonHelp This is the same customer service number I have already called SIX TIMES who have been unable to help me!
