This entire thread is such a great read and a searing example of how the rush “back to normal” is leading to unmitigated COVID spread, disability and death.
Employees have the right to refuse work they believe it’s dangerous, but it does NOT apply to Covid in the workplace.

The storm isn't coming. The storm is here. It's all about being prepared for what is coming. We will get through this.
But it means showing up and taking back our democracy.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Poilievre on social programs.
Poilievre's policies disproportionately affect vulnerable groups, including those facing poverty, chronic illness systemic discrimination. His approach is seen as prioritizing the interests of wealthy individuals & corps over the needs of everyday Canadians. 👇 #cdnpoli

As someone with lung disease this is great news to hear, but we need to do so much more for lungs and research. We are way behind with cures and good drugs. The biologics that are being introduced could save my life and slow the progression of my disease but I'm sadly still waiting for approval.
