Of the 52,247 people who have died from COVID-19 in Canada, I've linked 22,137 deaths to 2544 residential care facilities and 256 deaths to workplace COVID-19 infections. That's 2 new deaths and no new facilities added since April 2.

I didn't realize that Craig Kielburger was on the board of the Telus foundation.

@Bert_Sailor I am a canadian.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

I need a monthly injection for my cancer treatment. Last month, I needed it while I was in Regina. A clinic gave it to me for free.

In Georgetown now, I have been charged $100 .... in cash.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

@TheBeyToronto Hopefully.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

@john_popowich I ..... did. They failed to tell me.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

@meringuesurf That is wild. I think that any nurse could give this to me if they agreed.

"You hate the noise and yet you live downtown? Shoulda moved to the suburbs!!!"

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

Love the suburbs. The one thing they're supposed to be good at is obliterated by the neighbour who is power washing his van's mats with music blaring extra loud for some reason on a Tuesday evening.

The cops murder your teenaged friend and now, to make sure that they are never held to account, they arrest you and your friends.

[Ted Rutland @TedRutland]

As we know, following the killing of 15 year-old Nooran last September by the Longueuil police, the Montreal police opened an investigation of Nooran’s friends and anything they might have done wrong over the previous three months. They’ve now arrested 11 teenagers.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

One of the all-time most repulsive NYT headlines:

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

I was on The Rover with @titocurtis this week to talk about incel violence and why we have to think deeper about how societal decay pushes some to take up violence.

@juliansharabi Yep

Brad Bradford wants to call Sankofa Square "Toronto Square" which is about the level of creativity one should expect from a guy named Brad Bradford.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

@ChepekaCollin Indeed!

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

@TonyChristie59 The difference is who kills though.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

I get the rhetorical point here but still nothing compares to the colonial racism sewed into every aspect of Canadian society. It's far more powerful and influential than Zionism.

[Alex Cosh @AlexCosh_]

Zionism is a hate movement and is the most successful of its kind in Canada, writes @DavideMastracci.

No other movement has achieved such widespread acceptance in its host community, or enjoyed so much coddling from the state and other powerful institutions. https://t.co/zbLdqrbHzx

@brite_ii Canada was hardly alone in being colonized by the British Empire. I don't think you can argue that we offer a unique template that wasn't also replicated around the world.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

@GrandpappyCrow No, I dont think we can say they're the same thing. Most Canadians dont actually care about Israel, unlike the way that they care about accessing their cottage. They are similar tendencies but to pretend they're the same movements forces us to ignore a lot of differences.

"Here is a poll that says Quebecers aren't all that interested in sovereignty. And yet, the Parti Quebecois wants a referendum. What this means for you, dear Canadian, is very bad."

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

Columnists like @reggcohn depend on the language divide to publish the absolute stupidest shit about Quebec. And his employer keeps people like me out of the pages to call out the stupidity lest an Ontarian get a reasoned look at Quebec.
