@firebethfox Fingers crossed for you, Beth. We were evacuated last night. The satellite imagery gave me hope as all the red was gone from the map this morning and changed to orange/yellow. I think they are making progress. https://t.co/63W5HeBVV4

Canada’s telecommunications provider, Rogers is down across the country. No cell phone service, no internet. And apparently some people can’t even call 911. Also impacting Fido.

TikTok doesn’t just see its users dance videos.

It collects search and browsing histories, keystroke patterns, biometric identifiers, draft messages and metadata, plus it has collected the text, images, and videos that are stored on a device's clipboard.

[The Ottawa Hospital @OttawaHospital]

The Ottawa Hospital is experiencing increased pressures on both Emergency Departments and ambulance offload processes. This is primarily due to COVID-19 outbreaks, combined with staffing shortages related to COVID-19 illness or exposure. 1/3

Take 18 minutes. Watch this video by @davehrlichman @converge4impact to better understand how to #collaborate to build networks that achieve enduring, positive community change. Then encourage a friend to do the same. #systemschange #collectiveimpact

Linear roadmaps are misleading without a crystal ball for seeing the future. A roadmap that recognizes the existence of risk as time goes on is more honest. But an effective PM needs to anticipate possible branches, too - and create clear criteria for following each path.

Retweet this if you agree that the pandemic isn’t over simply because your government is pretending it’s over.

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

When covid has already killed over 2300 people just this year. When the virus damages multiple organs in the body, including the brain. When we have an even more dangerous variant BA.2 taking hold…..do you really think there is a scientific reason for Ontario to remove masks?

[Tracey Snow (she/her) @TraceyCreates]

@mireille_cra @CanadaPaintings It's gorgeous. You're very talented!

[Mei 🇨🇦🌻 @Maybelline_CDN]

Does anyone else feel that the biggest reason for your pandemic fatigue is the repeated disappointment in people?

Two years into this thing, people’s true natures continue to be revealed on a daily basis by the compassion/empathy they do or don’t have…

[Ottawa Police @OttawaPolice]

We are aware of a concerted effort to flood our 911 and non-emergency policing reporting line. This endangers lives and is completely unacceptable. (1/2)

[First Evening Star @OnaagoshinAnang]

Two things to remember this morning:

If your ‘freedom’ relies on oppressing others it’s not actually freedom.

AND

Being inconvenienced is not the same as being oppressed. Please stop conflating the two.

[Dr. Lisa Iannattone @lisa_iannattone]

If there are 3 cases of lice in your kid’s class, the school will notify you. 3 cases of covid at your kid’s table? The school has been *banned* from notifying you by the government. Lice never killed grandma. This policy is cold and obscene.

[Kate Dupuis @DrKateTO]

PCR testing has flatlined, we currently have no case reporting in schools, hospitals are overrun, many LTC residents are confined to their rooms again… what exactly does our Premier @fordnation mean when he says we can see the light on the horizon?

For those days when you feel like you're drowning in the bureaucracy of the public service, here are some thoughts about why I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a public servant. Hoping this can bring you some light during the dark days. A thread...

I've repeatedly said that crafting is my COVID therapy. It really does help with the stress/anxiety.

[Emma Mitchell 💙 @silverpebble]

Why craft can help if you feel low &/or anxious:
🧵Repetitive movements of hands & eyes cause release of feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin
🧶Dopamine’s released on completing a task, triggering a natural high
✂️ 40 minutes of making decreases levels of stress hormone

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

New COVID-19 guidance for schools states:

"Given the widespread transmission and inability to test all symptomatic individuals, schools will not be routinely notifying students/pupils in classes with a positive case."
