There should be no vaccine exemptions for "conscience" or "religion". No holy book comments on vaccination, and "conscience" is in reality just ignorance. #cdnpoli #measles #TDSB

Today is Red Dress Day.
As an Indigenous woman, this day is deeply personal. We carry the stories of our sisters, our aunties, our daughters — too many taken, too many still missing.
Red Dress Day is a day of remembrance. But it must also be a call to action.

A good thread, but let's be clear, this isn't just a movement "with" elite leaders, it is a movement largely *created* by elite leaders, based on false premises and a lot of pettiness. The issue isn't "yokels" or stupidity, but selfishness and dogmatic ideology.
