Cresting 70% of the eligible population vaccinated in Canada is really great.

BUT

This also means there's 10 million over age 12 who aren't vaxxed at all yet.

And none of the 5 million kids under 12 are vaxxed yet.

15 million of us with no vaccination yet. Please play safe!

@namshine I think the language in the screening is something like “new symptoms”. We have a kid with dust allergies amongst others (ie often sneezes, has runny nose). We just told the teacher. Nose spray from allergist helps.

@paulharnik Just saw this. Will reach out!

"Because art activates emotions, memories, learning & meaning-making in the brain in unique and complex ways, it offers unique possibilities for artists & museums to forge pathways to engagement." https://t.co/DB0czdacCt @ShiraleeH @agotoronto @NatGalleryCan #AnthropoceneProject

Q2: What practices have brought anti-racist work to the forefront of your museum, internally or publicly? How can Interpretive staff advocate for anti-racist practice within existing museum hierarchies and structures? #ArtMuseumInterp

i lasted three years in an institutional space. after seeing my former museum’s BLM letter, i knew i had to hold myself accountable to Black artists, collectives and organizations in speaking out: https://t.co/1NI1P8OISg #MuseumsAreNotNeutral

Am delighted a 150-year-old statue of King Leopold II of Belgium has been toppled in Antwerp. He was grotesque, responsible for some of the greatest human rights abuses of the 19th century. Half - yes half - of the Congo's population of 20 million died under his greedy rule.

Qaami aamma Nuummi! I know a statue in Greenland that needs decapitation.

@jessewente It would be unfortunate if people in any of these places defaced or took down any of these monuments.

As Canada delays action on the TRC & MMIWG Calls to Justice, sexual violence against Indigenous children and youth goes on. In this Brief, Fallon Simard argues that Land Back and consent based decision-making can be frameworks for meaningful change:

@jessewente You're right. Tear them all down, I say. These false memorialization projects do not belong in our public spaces.

[Shiralee Hudson @ShiraleeH]

@piya I'm so looking forward to it! Much congratulations! This really is the best news.

[Shiralee Hudson @ShiraleeH]

@jessewente I've been thinking about this so much. The JAM statue in Picton, ON just went up in 2015!!! Why!?!

[Mike Layton @m_layton]

Premier Ford is wrong. While different than the US, our systems are built on colonial hierarchies that lead to injustice, anti-black racism, racism against indigenous people, and xenophobia.

[Adrianne Russell @adriannerussell]

These museums are trying it with these false statements of solidarity. You're not too big to get aired all the way out 🙄

Public Health has released CLEARER language about who can go for a walk outside: You can go for a walk if you: have not been diagnosed with COVID-19;
do not have symptoms of COVID-19; have not travelled outside of Canada in the past 14 days.

Key from BC Chief Medical officer Dr Bonnie Henry and Health Min. Adrian Dix Friday: “The evidence is clear: with every person in British Columbia 100% committed to physical distancing, we can flatten the curve. Over the next two weeks we must be united in this one goal."

Six Nations, which sits about 36 km south of Hamilton, Ont., is preparing to set up a drive-thru COVID-19 assessment centre along with a hotline. Could be ready later this week and paying for it through their own funds for the moment, according to spokesperson.
