Right turn on red endangers people walking, rolling, and biking at intersections, where they are already less safe.

But what about GHG emissions?

“The savings in emissions and travel times has always been wildly overstated.” @schlthss #VisionZero

"But it’s not the responsibility of government employees or the government to keep those businesses afloat, and that shouldn’t be an argument that decides the fate of remote work." 💯 https://t.co/DcOzFVX6r0

Just to be clear, the WHO thinks we’re heading for a mass disabling event.

“An estimated one in 10 infections results in post-Covid conditions suggesting that hundreds of millions of people will need longer term care”

[AnnieRN @ann_mcnitt]

Approximately 40% of covid infections cause NO symptoms, so anytime we go into a public place unmasked, the risk of spreading covid is very real.

Save a life--maybe yours.
Stop sharing air.
Wear an N95 mask.

Please feel free to share this.

Here’s your reminder that millions of Canadian children grew up watching and loving a gender fluid puppet for decades.

Long, but deeply satisfying read for all those who were super hopeful for a decent transit solution in Ottawa, and then brutally disappointed by what we were hoodwinked by Watson to actually get.

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

Canada’s sleepy capital city had big dreams for a transit system that would rival those of London and Paris. Then it all went terribly wrong. #OttawaLRT https://t.co/9w5EafTRyl

When anyone says that government debt is bad and we must do everything we can to reduce it, it’s scare tactics. Don't drink the koolade. 4/5

[Gail Vaz-Oxlade @GailVazOxlade]

Politicians & media with a political agenda have drawn false parallels between household debt and government debt. Government debt can be rolled-over; as bonds come due, they are replaced with new bonds. Households can’t do that because people die so lenders won't let them. 3/5

“If the government’s position were to win in negotiations, average federal pay would remain 5.8 per cent below the industrial average by the end of 2022.”

@GailVazOxlade Not me - my mom has severe Sjogren's plus Lupus. Every time I get cannabis-induced dry mouth, I worry I have it too. Totally brutal condition when severe - causes so many secondary issues.

BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.

They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.

Don't let them fool you.

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

4-day work week is being studied broadly with consistent results: employers who allow it for employees, at the same pay, requiring the same output, see productivity + revenues increase. Combine this with the hybrid workplace and we could really give the long commute the boot.

Mornin' @JustinTrudeau. As you meet with premiers on healthcare, know that, as a tax-payer, I want strings attached to the $$ they receive. I want open reporting on what they $$ is being spent on. And I want it made clear that none of my tax $$ go to private anything. #Strings

@SharonDV I got a Knix sports bra that has a front zip - was sceptical, but it's excellent. No more struggle. Old bra used to be an actual impediment to doing a workout.
