I have family & friends who think I’m “over the top” about Covid & it’s time to move on. I’m not perfect in how I manage viruses, but I know a f*ck ton more than I used to & I wouldn’t step a foot in some places w/o a mask. I get eye rolled at all the time. I don’t GAF. It’s dangerous out there.

Where do we go for acute issues that are caused by our chronic illnesses? The ER doesn’t manage our issues. Well neither do our doctors. So where do we go. What do we do? We sit at home and hope it’s not fatal.

This excellent video builds out the case for public grocery stores.
This idea is landing super well with Canadians, who are tired of trading their paycheques for overpriced food so corporations can line their pockets.
It’s the kind of populist offer the NDP can win with! Join us: lewisforleader.ca
