Imagine if we hated poverty instead of hating poor folks.

“Not my problem if it doesn't affect me directly" is peak privilege.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Hi Ontario 👋🏾. This election day, let's ALL make it known that: Elders in LTC deserve the best care. People with Disabilities shouldn't live in poverty. Workers need paid sick days. Public healthcare is worth protecting...Make your vote count! 🙏🏾 #OntarioElection2022

This is how you use the media room. THIS is the only game plan.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

The sad irony: The "freedom" convoy actually had a lot of freedom...To travel across the country. To honk their horns all day & night. To party in hot tubs. To occupy Ottawa for 3 straight weeks.

Privilege is having freedom & having no clue that you have it.

[Sonia Mendes @MendesMusings]

Guys, when this is all over, can every Ottawa resident go downtown and shop and eat ALL the food??!? Ottawa small businesses and restaurants need our help to get back on their feet. 🛍 #MyOttawa #ShopLocal

Meantime, Indigenous people:

On Sunday evening, more than 50 people from Squamish Nation gathered outside of Lions Gate Hospital (LGH) to show their support for health-care workers through songs of honour and prayer.”

[Emma May @emmagmay]

I really struggle with this whole “freedom” nonsense because over the past year I have adhered to COVID restrictions and still have travelled internationally, domestically, had dinner out, had team meetings, family celebrations, pivoted a business, attended yoga classes,

January has been a long year.

Here’s a nice way to start your Sunday…. Donate some money to @sghottawa who feed the homeless in Ottawa
Resources were strained yesterday when some of the protesters mistakenly thought the “free” food was for people in nice cars and trucks

Donate here: https://t.co/Msa35ePD0a

Today’s announcement will have been difficult for MANY of us to hear.

Whatever you’re feeling, your feelings are valid.

If you need someone to talk to, we’re always here.

Hey governments!! Drop some N95 and rapid test kits at EVERYONES home and residence - for free. Merry Christmas to all from our tax dollars. It amazes me how we can’t even do the simplest of things to help people be safe. Staggering.

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

Retweet if you agree that our governments should send a package of rapid tests & N95 masks to every household, every week, for free.

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

I'm detecting a lot of anger, confusion and uncertainty about the increasingly worrisome details about #OmicronVarient. Let's remember we also have masks, rapid tests, vaccines, powerful antiviral medications and lots of kind & hard working people. We'll get through this.

[Ottawa Public Health @OttawaHealth]

As of today, proof of vaccination is required in certain settings in our community.

Kindly remember: the people working in these settings didn't make this policy.

We know emotions are high right now, but please treat employees (& each other) with kindness & empathy.

Thank you.

Time to cast your ballot! 🗳️ We know things take more time during a pandemic. Voting hours vary across the country. Try to avoid peak times, such as the opening of the polls in the morning and dinner time. 😉 For more info, call 1-800-463-6868 or visit: https://t.co/S2VaNR74wf

Hey Canada,

On July 1, wear an orange shirt or place one outside instead of a flag.

Stand with us in solidarity as we reflect, remember all our lost children.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

182 unmarked graves have been found at a former residential school in Cranbrook, British Columbia.

Celebrating Canada Day, right after hundreds of unmarked child graves have been found & many more will be found, isn't right.

We should all be grieving...It's really that simple.
