# of COVID deaths per year in Canada: 2020: 15,307 2021: 14,606 2022: 19,035 Let's get one thing straight: 2022 wasn't the year that we “learned to live with COVID.” It was the year we were told to ignore COVID while it continued to cause mass suffering, disability, and death.

Today my great grandmother, Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor, turns 99! “I never thought I would survive Auschwitz and have another birthday. At 99, I celebrate to show that the Nazis did not win!” All #HappyBirthdayLily wishes and comments will be passed on to Lily. ❤️

When did we decide as a society that those who are in poverty are responsible for fixing poverty and not the folks profiting off them.

Periodic reminder to the press that if it’s raining and some batshit fascist cult leader says that it isn’t, your job is not to report to us that there are differing views about the weather. It’s to look out the fucking window.

Sadly Charlie is zero fun and will not allow us to dress him up. Which he has repeatedly affirmed after our multiple attempts 😆
Replying to @LadySif73
OMG @mvpetals you have to do this with Charlie

Do better @OttawaPolice
The @OttawaPolice finally called me back so I could report a death threat. The interaction made my jaw drop. This is NOT how victims should be treated. Right off the bat, I was scolded for not saying hello (I did, my AirPods just cut out). Then it got worse. So I recorded it.

This is what happens when you lay off amazing, talented radio experts and expect the equally overwhelmed staff that's left to pick up the slack. Skeleton crews don't work. @Bell
Good Morning - due to some unfortunate circumstances we are not able to broadcast our morning show today. Like many organizations lately, we have some staff off due to illness, but today it runs into some pre-scheduled vacation time.

A reminder to the protestors in #Ottawa. My business lost five million dollars in gross revenue. All 23 of my full time staff had to be laid off and lost their jobs. I sold my business at a loss as I was looking at bankruptcy. You were asked to wear a mask to protect others.

“I am still mad at myself for that—for being convinced, at one point in time, that the prime minister was an honest and good person, when, in truth, he would so casually lie to the public and then think he could get away with it.” ~Indian In The Cabinet, p. 229-30.

Texas Gov. Abbott says the Uvalde school shooter had a "mental health challenge" and the state needed to "do a better job with mental health" — yet in April he slashed $211M from the department that oversees mental health programs. nbcnews.to/3Gjwteq

I wish every single US elected official who has taken a blank cheque from the @NRA had to walk through the Uvalde, Texas school right now and see the lifeless bodies of the 7-10 yr olds and the teacher who tried to protect them.

If you are one of the spineless cowards held hostage by the gun-lobby and have been an obstacle to sensible gun reform, just shut the fuck up, right now.
Heidi & I are fervently lifting up in prayer the children and families in the horrific shooting in Uvalde. We are in close contact with local officials, but the precise details are still unfolding. Thank you to heroic law enforcement & first responders for acting so swiftly.

Imagine if the people who called themselves pro-life tried to stop mass shootings as hard as they try to stop abortions.
