BRUTAL: 65-year-old Asian American woman viciously attacked in New York City and told, “You don’t f#cking belong here.”

Sunsets are for rocket launches. 🚀
This “Twilight Effect” appears when exhaust particles from missile or rocket propellant left in the vapor trail of a launch vehicle condense, freeze and then expand in the less dense upper atmosphere.

So.. big news day huh? Lots of people have reached out with kind words both publicly and privately and I’m very flattered. I wasn’t expecting or looking for attention, so it’s a bit overwhelming. But I need to clear some other things up. So here’s an #onpoli thread:
#fordnation keeps repeating the same behaviour expecting a different result. The long-term costs to society will be enormous.
Canadians believe in government, trust in systems, follow rules. Those are very useful attributes in a pandemic. Except when your leader is leading you off a cliff. If you open up, people assume it’s safe. That couldn’t be further from the truth right now. #onpoli #ICUcapacity

Cambodian-American #HaingSNgor won the Academy Award for #BestSupportingActor OTD in 1985 for his performance as the physician Dith Pran in #TheKillingFields (1984). After his Oscar win, Ngor's acting career continued until he was gunned down in 1996 near his home in Los Angeles.

NEWS: A new NPR investigation finds that articles FALSELY connecting vaccines and death have been among the most highly-engaged-with content online this year -- evading social media moderation, and going viral in a way that could fuel hesitancy.

We need to ask why the anti-lockdown movement consists mostly of - and is certainly led by - political extremists, anti-abortion activists, Christian fundamentalists, and conspiracy theorists. This is not mainstream society!

So, vaccines. Between overbooking & technical issues with the Provincial site, this has likely been frustrating for you, and for that we're sorry.
Please know this: EVERYONE who wants a vaccine WILL get one. You will not be missed, and we will see this through.

After working in the ED the last 3 days I can tell you this, anyone who says we are not in a third wave is a fool. Numbers are rising rapidly and patients are coming in younger and sicker than previously. Ignore loosening of restrictions and stay home!

RCMP destroyed recordings & transcripts of radio traffic between officers who responded to the fatal 2016 shooting of Colten Boushie, a 22-yr-old Cree man. A review found RCMP acted in a racist, discriminatory manner when they informed his mom of his death theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…
