This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke: scientificamerican.com/artic…

Another massive holy cow huge piece of news, so this will probably get about ten likes and disappear into the twitterhole: CDC say this: "the virus that causes COVID-19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system of the body weeks, months, and potentially years after infection" How the fuck is this not news everywhere?

Many don’t realize that barely 4% of Canada makes for good farmland. Most of the rest is inhospitable, endless granite, muskeg or tundra. That’s why paving over the little we have left is such a crime:
The majority of the land in Canada is non agriculture. You don't have to travel very far north in Ontario before the soil quality + growing season decline. Destroying farmland when we have a growing population is quite frankly, short sighted.#HandsOffTheGreenbelt #RepealBill23 🧵

😠Don't mess with the Oak Ridges Moraine. @fordnation If we start paving over (capping) the Moraine it can't replenish the aquifers. The Legislation for it + the Greenbelt were science based decisions, not economic. 250,000+ depend on the well water. 25+ rivers flow from here.

Loving reminder: People don't "commit" suicide. Suicide is not a sin or crime. We "die by" or "die from" suicide. Let's try not to further stigmatize mental illness and suicidal ideation with our words. And if you're hearing this for the first time, great! Pass it on. #RIPTwitch

Every one of us should be angry that one of Ontario’s largest children’s hospitals has had to call in the Red Cross to help with staffing. Every one of us should be demanding that our government immediately invest more resources into our healthcare system. Every one of us.

If @fordnation gets his way, a new 4-6 lane highway will be paved through the world's largest protected Greenbelt. But @s_guilbeault has the power to stop it. Tell the feds to STOP HIGHWAY 413 by signing here bit.ly/3FgEqCq #HandsOffTheGreenbelt

I just got a note from a friend that many of their pediatrician colleagues are in tears from exhaustion. They do not see the way out of this thing. Please do all you can to stay home if you’re sick and mask indoors. We have to take care of each other this winter.

The approximate annual cost for the raise requested by CUPE is $264m. The $200 per child bribe Lecce recently gave out cost around $365m. The license plate renewal fee brought in approximately $1b each year.

I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted #onpoli

Let’s say it again: if you want to support students to “catch up” in their learning, you don’t remove funding from publicly funded education system & give it out privately as no-strings attached funding. You invest directly in classroom supports, including staffing #OntEd #OnPoli
