# of COVID deaths per year in Canada:
2020: 15,307
2021: 14,606
2022: 19,035
Let's get one thing straight: 2022 wasn't the year that we “learned to live with COVID.” It was the year we were told to ignore COVID while it continued to cause mass suffering, disability, and death.
Today my great grandmother, Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor, turns 99!
“I never thought I would survive Auschwitz and have another birthday. At 99, I celebrate to show that the Nazis did not win!”
All #HappyBirthdayLily wishes and comments will be passed on to Lily. ❤️

COVID-19 SNAPSHOT - SEPT 28, 2022
Our monitoring indicators are showing we are now in a new wave of COVID-19.
We are also heading into the respiratory illness season where we expect respiratory viruses to be circulating.

Periodic reminder to the press that if it’s raining and some batshit fascist cult leader says that it isn’t, your job is not to report to us that there are differing views about the weather. It’s to look out the fucking window.
The @OttawaPolice finally called me back so I could report a death threat.
The interaction made my jaw drop. This is NOT how victims should be treated.
Right off the bat, I was scolded for not saying hello (I did, my AirPods just cut out).
Then it got worse. So I recorded it.

This is what happens when you lay off amazing, talented radio experts and expect the equally overwhelmed staff that's left to pick up the slack. Skeleton crews don't work. @Bell
A reminder to the protestors in #Ottawa.
My business lost five million dollars in gross revenue. All 23 of my full time staff had to be laid off and lost their jobs.
I sold my business at a loss as I was looking at bankruptcy.
You were asked to wear a mask to protect others.
“I am still mad at myself for that—for being convinced, at one point in time, that the prime minister was an honest and good person, when, in truth, he would so casually lie to the public and then think he could get away with it.”

Texas Gov. Abbott says the Uvalde school shooter had a "mental health challenge" and the state needed to "do a better job with mental health" — yet in April he slashed $211M from the department that oversees mental health programs. https://t.co/dbRiL5VRA0
