Goodbye, friends! I've enjoyed you immensely, but can't continue in. Musk-owned operation. Hope to see you elsewhere, perhaps in Tribel.

Ontario COVID-19 hospitalizations haven’t been this high since *February 9* (when we still had masking). And yet our Premier and so many politicians continue to ignore the ongoing pandemic and the suffering of so many Ontarians. #CovidIsNotOver

Canada Proud, a hard Right conservative account that attacks the democratically elected Liberal minority gov’t, is attempting to enlist Elon Musk, a foreign billionaire, in an attempt to undermine legislation to curb online disinformation & hate speech:

PSA: My kid tested Covid+ on a PCR with a runny nose/congestion (no other symptoms initially). On day 5 he is still testing negative on RATs. There are lots of these stories. DO NOT TRUST THE RATS, ASSUME YOU HAVE COVID, GET A PCR IF YOU CAN.

Conservatives did everything they could to block it, but yesterday, our rental and dental care support passed the House!

That’s one step closer to getting kids the dental care they need, and low-income Canadians quick support to pay their rent.

There it is! The #EmergenciesAct Inquiry was presented with evidence that the big tow trucks would NOT have gone in to remove the #FreeDumbConvoy rigs blocking downtown Ottawa without the invoking of the #EmergenciesAct . Finally!!!

Interesting ... on Ford vs the Convoy inquiry. But for a Premier who has such disdain for question period and is often absent,it's farcical that his parliamentary privilege is to ensure he's not absent. 🤔 Read⬇️ cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Elon Musk's fortune, which ultimately enabled his takeover of Twitter, has been padded by billions in subsidies and contracts paid for by American taxpayers.

Just in case anyone needed that reminder.

Get a job, buy stuff, get a car, buy more stuff, travel the world, buy loads more stuff then get a mortgage so you have a house to put all the stuff in. And repeat.

The truth is, we exist only to maintain an economic system which is driving us toward imminent collapse.

The police forces are not saying that the EA wasn't needed, per se. What they're saying is that the tools existed to be able to solve it without the EA. The question remains, and always will remain, why did they do nothing then?

NEW: Judge rules Feb. order lifting Alberta school mask mandate 'unreasonable' & made by politicians not CMOH, a breach of Public Health Act

+ LaGrange statement saying school boards prohibited fr make own mask rules caused 'widespread misunderstanding'

If the Conservative Party of Canada was truly concerned about Canadians financial struggles (inflation..) , ask yourself why they voted against: the $10/day child care program and the national dental care program or why they don't support a real living wage, lets not forget...

A flurry of key reports this week together paint a dire picture of our future.

We are failing spectacularly on EVERY front

Elon Musk has emerged in recent months as a new, chaotic actor in global politics. He has waded into situations involving Russia, Ukraine, Iran and China, and left behind plenty of messes. Now that he owns Twitter, his influence is set to grow. nyti.ms/3TM923v

BREAKING: Ontario hospitals requesting PCR COVID tests be more accessible so potential outbreaks can be identified sooner. Asked to comment, Premier Ford stated, “People need to understand, if we do less PCR testing there will be less COVID cases in Ontario.” Doug Ford

This is maybe the biggest failure in human history. Many millions more people are going to die - maybe far worse than that. And yet almost no media - let alone public - understands what it means. We could barely be more broken as a society theguardian.com/environment/20…

Good morning from home. Last work day then the weekend off! Off to Airdrie this morning.
