This is Andre "Trey" Howard, 10.
He was nearly killed by flying debris while shielding his sister during the deadly plane crash in Philadelphia.
His father just revealed the first thing he said after he survived brain surgery:
"Daddy, did I save my sister?”
What a hero.

1/n PHO has a new risk assessment on the spread of the current BA. 2 wave.
Among other things it says:
- The wave is associated with lifting mask mandates
- We're likely to see ++ serious illness in children
- Reintroducing masking would be an effective + practical intervention

“in a school, there are more layers of protection that slow transmission compared to in other settings.”
What layers of protection???
We don’t yet have:
N95s
RATs
HEPA filters
Prioritized vaccinations for students/staff

Majority of Ontarians pushed back on playground closures.
Yesterday we put 2 young parents on ventilators. They got COVID through workplace transmission.
Children need safe workplaces for their parents even more than playgrounds.
Please be angry & care about unsafe workplaces.

Part of yesterday's decision at @LaurentianU was the cancellation of most of the teacher ed. program.This demonstrates a very narrow view of the situation. A serious teacher shortage is looming in Ontario & the shortage is already a threat to French language ed. in the province.

Canada was the second country to approve Moderna, and third to approve Pfizer-BioNTech. There is no holdup at the federal government. This is pure political theatre from @Sflecce to distract from his lack of school plans as the third wave slams into Ontario.

We’re getting closer. 👏
First the CNESST made N95s mandatory on covid wards for HCWs.
Now a judge ruled that surgical masks *do not protect LTC workers against covid-19* so all workers in LTCs should be provided N95s.

Myself and @GrandCouncilT3 wrote to @fordnation to express our outrage at his govt's irresponsible & tragic decision to abruptly close youth justice centres across the province. This decision to 'save money' comes at the direct expense of some of our most vulnerable children.
