@NightShiftMD @globeandmail Sad to see this when it’s 100% preventable with proper vaccination schedules being adhered to .

[gowd2 @gowd2]

@NightShiftMD What is your take on various social media apps for mental health care being promoted? How do those factor into safe vs unsafe use ? Often ppl with poor #MentalHealth struggle , to keep connections with others , isolating instead , afraid to ask for help out of shame & unknowns .

[gowd2 @gowd2]

@ctvottawa Why are we able to support asylum seekers with sprung structures yet our city’s homeless population are not worth equal consideration? Everyone should have housing access . Charity begins at home, don’t leave others behind .

@OPP_ER #Hwy417 @Moodie-high risk section w/#Hwy416 proximity, THX 4 STOP! Can Veh plates be seized until suspension over? What legal measures can further deter drivers-so they actually honour suspensions ? #NoPlate veh more suspicious to all on roads; public + police take notice.

[gowd2 @gowd2]

@OPP_ER Thanks 4 keeping #Hwy417 safer. Deeply concerning #reckless endangerment on public hwy, driver w/repeated prior violations = #FamiliarFaces w/dangerous pattern of learned risk #behaviour not deterred by prior violations alone. #stronger deterrents needed to #StopRoadHarms

Wonderful tribute to The Tragically Hip on John Street by Choir! Choir! Choir! + Hip fans, singing "Ahead By a Century." When my daughter was a baby, I'd sing her sleep with this song. #TIFF24

Alcohol causes more than 6,000 deaths per year in Ontario.

That’s why CAMH is joining @CMHAOntario and other health partners across #Ontario in an urgent call for the implementation of a provincial #alcohol strategy.

@MarcMethot3 Let it go #BeBetter , use as teaching moment. Explain this kid may think this or heard parent say it, regardless, in life ppl who say hurtful things , often see weakness in themselves and are just looking to build their own egos by lashing out at others .

[gowd2 @gowd2]

@AirCanada Still passengers in that moment don’t know these details so this would be a very anxious situation. It is good to fully explain the incident information after the fact and greatly appreciated but in the moment was this same information shared with passengers on the flight?

@StuntmanStu @CdnTulipfest Would be interesting for you to recreate the same photo pose today , tulips still there but area keeps developing with that huge high rise condo and new Civic campus construction, different background look down there now .

@ianhanomansing Employers temporarily pivoted for COVID to virtual, no surprise stmt here “return to office”. It’s personal choice to stay or find another job. I lived 3x Employer forced job loss/ outsourcing, that taught me “employers find someone else to take jobs if you don’t like their terms

[gowd2 @gowd2]

@ianhanomansing At office , called to mtg late afternoon, told bring our laptop home , wait for news, office shuttering ; shift to #WorkFromHome .Sat idle 6wks waiting w/NO WORK+NO PAY delays 4 Employer to set up remote access for thousands of staff; 2yrs + remote access became new normal.

@CreesonAgecouta Sorry to hear this. I enjoyed watching your news reports . I had hoped CTV got it right to have a young indigenous journalist on national team broadcasts. Seems @CTVNews layoffs/cuts by @BellMediaPR reads like some dark world new #StephenKing novel #news journalists banished

[gowd2 @gowd2]

@StuntmanStu Sorry to hear this

[gowd2 @gowd2]

@grahamctv @ctvottawa @BonnellSandra 1) print journalism layoffs , 2) Bill C-118 ,3) More Bell Media layoffs . Clues perhaps when journalists lost on-location film crews & forced to become their own film crew/editors . Bell Media sacrifices #teamwork #ppl to keep its financial growth 🥲#LocalNews suffer again

@MichaelTibollo @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP @JustinTrudeau @markhollandlib @YaaraSaks Listened to full press announcement on CPAC., w/disappointment that new youth hubs are only max age 25 , great news but what of those 26+, how will this funding help them ? Check data from Belleville OD emergency, what are ages of those victims that experienced OD’s?

[gowd2 @gowd2]

@CBCNews @DanTaekema Can you get data from emergency services /hospitals on ages of those who experienced OD? Today announcement of Fed+prov declare investments in new youth hubs (max age 25) for addictions care , but nothing in announcement to deal with those 26+ looking for addictions treatment.
