Professionally occupied, back on the ice as an adult synchro skater. I attempt to play other sports, and have an unhealthy obsession with mascots.

@LawrenceMuscant @TorontoStar Incorrect. I won't even take a connecting flight transiting through, so that's 100% a hard pass on *living* there

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

#BREAKING Donald Trump was found liable in the E Jean Carroll Case.

Oddly enough, that news is conveniently not trending on Twitter. Instead, Musks attempt to discredit WhatsApp is.

Go figure.

@RichardCityNews @breakfasttv The proposal says high school diploma or equivalent...so not even completed that. My bigger picture q though is will officers be asked to take a pay cut to have more "boots on the ground", like teachers are being told in their neg when asking for more workers?

[Valerie MacDonald @V_MacD]

@ms_tric @ESL_fairy Fully agree. I loved teaching virtually, it fit my personal style well and I made great connections with kiddos. It is definitely not for all, but it is a game changer for some! Esp. high anxiety or those discovering self at gr. 7/8!!

Today is #HolocaustRemembranceDay. We pause to remember the millions of victims of the Holocaust and honour the survivors. This day also gives us an opportunity to better understand how systems and policies can lead to discrimination and genocide.

@zack83437946 @breakfasttv @devobrown @DinaPugliese @Sid_Seixeiro @henrylstephanie You know what else causes myocarditis, at a much higher rate?? Having had COVID.

Since the ignorant public demanded to let it ride >70% of the public has been infected and are now at increased risk of cardiac events. But please keep blaming vaccines 🤡

@GamallSjohundar @kalesharkz @RevJacquiLewis Uh, there's no slur there. "Far right cis male" is a category of people with extreme right wing political views and have g*nitals that match their perceived sense of self. If you find yourself in that group, then, perhaps you need to reevaluate your beliefs so you're not offended

[Valerie MacDonald @V_MacD]

@JeanHar28691144 @kalesharkz @RevJacquiLewis Apparently you also failed chemistry in school, where cis and trans are already used as prefixes. Sorry about your sub-par education.

@GailVazOxlade Not every school board has CUPE workers. In WRDSB support staff are part of the OSSTF, so they will not be affected by the CUPE strike.

[Valerie MacDonald @V_MacD]

@GailVazOxlade Yes!!

@ROWPublicHealth @RegionWaterloo The provincial portal doesn't show the Cambridge site (or any ROW site) as an option. Is there another way to book?

[Valerie MacDonald @V_MacD]

Hey @GRT_ROW any #lostbunny updates on Ryder?

[Valerie MacDonald @V_MacD]

@Billius27 Do you think they will at least factor in decreased care capacity and not just "available beds" to make decisions, or am I giving them too much credit here?

[Valerie MacDonald @V_MacD]

@dr1427429859 @TK2inTO @SueAnnLevy @HeatherAmberB @paulakoala1234 @GTAschoolz @MathStudio_Usha @tdsb @PeelSchools @YRDSB @WokeWatchCDN @jonkay Actually Teaching is exempt from the 'Employment Standards Act' and do not receive any vacation pay in their compensation. Most jobs pay 4% or 6% of gross salary as vacation pay to either cover vacay time off or in place of paid vacay, but not teachers.

[Valerie MacDonald @V_MacD]

@danielleearl93 It is seriously crushing my soul watching these numbers come in. How is this happening?!

[Valerie MacDonald @V_MacD]

I guess I didn't realize how many independently wealthy #ontario residents there are, based on how many have voted to dismantle public services 😥
