“More than 60% of Ontario hospitals were in the red at the end of the 2025 fiscal year, and many, including some of the largest in the country, have turned to banks to cover their costs, spending millions of public dollars on loan interest payments.” nationalpost.com/news/ontario...
Ontario hospitals operating in the red are taking out private bank loans
Provincial legislation says they aren't supposed to run deficits. Despite the rules, operating shortfalls persist.

This is why masking in public, in an n95 or better, is a necessary act of resistance. BIPOC, disabled, immigrant, lgbtq esp trans folks… they’re all more vulnerable to illness & less resourced to recover.
The fascists know this. Your unmasked face their weapon.
Mask up to disarm them.

reminder that more kids now have long covid than asthma.
We don't have the disability education infrastructure to support a growing number of kids who are going to be disabled because their parents didn't get them vaccines against illnesses that can lead to the development of disabilities.

No my dears. No. And neither are you.

Look at this graph of virus in the wastewater in Toronto if you don't believe me. See that pink spike? That's Flu A, which is killing people every day. The data go up to December 21. What do you think that graph is going to look like after kids go back to school and adults go back to work?

Dear @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social. I really was enjoying your show until you made fun of people like me. I am homebound and sometimes bedbound from severe Long COVID. I can't afford to get sick again. I'm barely existing since Sep 2023. My 28yo daughter is now my caretaker and has LC herself.
Dear @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social
Did you ever think that there are ppl that don't want to get sick or they're immune compromised and choose to mask? Or maybe Covid became Long Covid which destroyed their immune system that lead to cancer...like me. And cancer isn't funny. #oneofthetwo
