At 12.3 million viewers, last night's Iowa-LSU game had more viewers than:

• Any women's CBB game ever
• The 2023 NBA Finals
• The 2023 World Series
• The 2023 Orange Bowl
• The 2023 Big Ten Championship
• The 2023 Cotton Bowl
• The 2023 Pac-12 Championship
• The 2023 Big-12 Championship
• The 2023 ACC Championship
• The 2023 Peach Bowl
• Thursday Night Football
• Every 2023 college football regular season game except Ohio State vs. Michigan

Absolutely INCREDIBLE.

We’re expanding and need production help. Let me know if you’re interested or know someone who might be!

If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.

This is exactly why a CBSA oversight committee is needed. Why are CBSA officers the last to know the rules when they should be the first to know? Or is it just that they enjoy a power trip?

@CanadianPM @CitImmCanada Congratulations Please fix the nearly 6 month delay on acknowledging receipt of applications and the multi year processing of PR and citizenship applications. If Canada values immigrants why are they treated with such ambivalence? Increase transparency!

[Dr. David Edward-Ooi Poon @votepoon]

This was the issue of accountability that drove me to seek change, however, accountability is needed everywhere. Many people have slipped through the cracks, unable to access our govt long before Covid-19 closures. This is why an Office of Accountability is important for all.

[Dr. David Edward-Ooi Poon @votepoon]

“If it takes me running an entire campaign just to be able to speak to Bill Blair face to face, that shows how absurd the system is, that a person needs to run a federal election campaign just to speak to the man who needs to be accountable for those actions.”

@GovCanHealth Maybe changing the border restrictions to allow binational families/couples to reunite IN PERSON would help everyone’s mental health. Get rid of the 15 day minimum stay for foreign nationals ASAP.

[Miranda Lessmeister @m_lessmeister]

@saraandjoe I’ve had these exact thoughts before. It’s honestly terrifying.

[Dr. David Edward-Ooi Poon MD MPH CCFP FRCPC @FacesofAdvocacy]

Before you applaud the border closures of Australia and NZ (that have still failed to keep out the virus I may add), think about families like this.

[Ashley Rowe @TheAshleyRowe]

Here’s the goofy thing about the land border: Canadians cannot drive into the USA right now. DHS has not updated its border policy since last March.

If Cdns want to come to Buffalo, they’ll have to fly into the US, drive to Buffalo, and then they can drive/walk/fly into Canada.

[Miranda Lessmeister @m_lessmeister]

Last year I had to get on 3 planes to fly to ND, which previously took me 2 hours to drive. Still today, fully vaccinated I would need to hop on 3 planes to get there to see my in laws instead of being able to easily and safely drive across the border. I’m so tired.

[Perrin Beatty @PerrinBeatty]

Much less to today’s announcement than met the ear. Five ministers announced that fully vaccinated Canadians won’t have to quarantine in hotels, but the border’s still shut to vaccinated visitors. And the criteria for moving to stage two remain a mystery. https://t.co/uy2nHFKtjq

[Dr. David Edward-Ooi Poon MD MPH CCFP FRCPC @FacesofAdvocacy]

We hit our vaccination targets.

Will Canadian families benefit or will the government move the goalposts again?

Canadians remember what was said. We will remember what what said next election.

Your move @PattyHajdu @BillBlair @JustinTrudeau #cdnpoli

[Edward Alden @edwardalden]

There’s still a long way to go, and too many people with loved ones across the border are still excluded. But this a good step on the right direction.

Mr. Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau,

Might I remind you of your February 14, 2018 words—your words for ‘concrete action’:

Do something transformative! #Leadership

Here is our public statement regarding the government health panel’s new recommendations. Let’s press forward. 🇨🇦

My husband and I dedicate today, our second wedding anniversary, to @FacesofAdvocacy and all other cross border couples who have been separated for the last 14 months. Canadians need hope - we need a plan for benchmarks to safely lift restrictions.

[Kenny Williams @ManOfPurpose94]

It's interesting how the people who don't want the border to open are people who not affected by it. Imagine if they were in our shoes. #LoveIsNotTourism

[Dr. David Edward-Ooi Poon MD MPH CCFP FRCPC @FacesofAdvocacy]

Where’s the proof that the quarantine hotels reduce spread? Because so far all we’ve seen come out of it are dirty hotel rooms and sexual assault. Being against quarantine hotels does not mean we’re against public safety measures as a whole. We’re against pointless ones. #cdnpoli
