Retweet if you agree that our governments should send a package of rapid tests & N95 masks to every household, every week, for free.

Antivaxxers are planning to protest at hospitals in 10 provinces again on Monday. Antivaxxers should NOT be allowed to protest outside hospitals, harass health workers & shame patients trying to access care. RT if you agree

Created an infographic on the @reuters article that caused massive uproar and confusion - regarding a comment by the Chief Scientist at the @WHO that was taken completely out of context. The Q had absolutely nothing to do with our Canadian policy on mixing & matching vaccines.

Welcome to Canada, where the remains of 215 Indigenous children are found at a former Kamloops residential school, but leaders struggle to accept that systemic racism is real and tell us that the use of the word “genocide” is controversial.

Just as vaccination rates in hotspots catch up with the rest of the city, @ongov stops the 50% allocation after just 2-wks. I don't understand the logic #COVID will be under control sooner and everyone will be better off if we continue to pour vaccines into at-risk communities.
Hot Spot Tracker: The hot-spot strategy is working. Vaccine deficits in Toronto's hardest-hit postal codes largely eliminated, as measured by % residents vaccinated with at least one dose.

Happy #NationalPhysiciansDay! Today, and every day, physicians across our sites continue to put their patients first and go beyond the call of duty. Today we celebrate each and every physician for their dedication and perseverance during these especially challenging times.

#BREAKING: Workers were expecting the best #PaidSickDays plan in North America -- this is not it. This is not adequate. 3 days?! Our patients need at least 10 days + 14 days in public health emergencies. This is temporary, not the permanent protection workers need. #OnPoli

After 14 months of #COVID19, we were promised "the best #PaidSickDays program in North America.” Instead we got a program which provides 3 days of pay for an illness which requires isolation for a minimum of 10 days. Never underestimate the inhumanity of the Ontario government.

Just admitted another patient to the ICU with #COVID in their 40s who acquired the infection from their factory worker partner. The @ongov must take immediate action to protect the people who are getting sick & dying. There is no acceptable excuse.

"I would want us to imagine a day where we don't have to plead and beg to a handful of people in society to do what we need. We need decentralized, community driven decision making and funding to solve our problems." @DesmondCole #HCinCanada
"We didn't hear employers repeal the law. We heard them saying 'how do we conform to the law?'" The police exist to protect the ruling class and their property That's why we can't have nice things." @DesmondCole #HCinCanada

Kingston: has a test positivity of 0.98% and 26 pharmacies per 100,000 people offering the #COVID19Vaccine. Brampton (where many essential workers live): has a test positivity of 22.4%, but only 8 pharmacies per 100,000. This is systemic discrimination in action.

The Doug Ford plan appears to be: Protection through work from home, stay at home & vaccination for the privileged. Live with the virus for the unprotected mostly racialized lower income workers with massive losses in these communities.
