Every day, I think I would much rather be in an election season than watching Carney reshape this country according to his xenophobic, militaristic, misogynist, nationalist, brutal capitalism.
Gotta say, I would much rather be several days into an election campaign right now than staring down the barrel of Carney's new "Canada is the Military Now" vision for us.

It's wild how something as small as "maybe don't go maskless to crowded bars every second night" gets framed as an 'unreasonable restriction'

Has anyone in Canada seen #covid messaging that clearly illustrated that #covid spreads through the air and increasing ventilation is effective at reducing the virus' concentration?I
As bad as what is being reported in the UK, Canada was much worse when it came to ventilation and air filtation.

Most parents are allowing their children to suffer repeated infections of Covid-19, and as a result, many of those children are likely to experience serious illness and early mortality.
Why are most parents not taking action to keep their children safe from the extreme harm of Covid-19?

It just won’t prevent disability. It won’t make you bulletproof.
Telling people to “get healthier” if they want to afford healthcare is effectively telling sick people to accept being left to die.
