Ottawa Police deciding which protesters can block the road in front of Parliament Hill for more than a couple hours:
Ottawa Police have moved in to remove peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors from in front of Parliament Hill. I asked an officer why they're arresting + removing- he said: "Because they're blocking the road. They've been here for hours". Pretty lmtd understanding of free speech!

During National Public Service Week, I'd like to recognize our dedicated and hard working public servants for the crucial work they do to support Canadians every day, especially as we respond to a very challenging wildfire season. You have our thanks.

This @CTVNews segment quotes four white people as “anti-hate experts” on white supremacy, while using my on the ground footage (seen below) without attribution. Erasure is a manifestation of white supremacy. cc: @judyatrinh

Replying to @theJagmeetSingh
Every time Jagmeet Singh blames the PM and not Premiers who actually control healthcare it hurts Canadians. Not to mention his future as a leader. The PM provided an EXTRA 72 billion to provinces over the past two pandemic years and covered ALL vaccine costs.

Oh good grief - the #yyj CON-voy is northbound on Douglas St, passing Uptown. Thanks Flying Squirrel Tree Service for showing us who you are. Didn't realise that border mandates affected your "trucking" business. 🙄🤦🏼 #FluTruxKlan #yyjtraffic

There are >250,000 Alberta children under 5 who are ineligible for the vaccine. They have no protection. Anyone saying nothing more can be done at this point to manage omicron is essentially saying we give up on protecting these children. No. Just no. #ableg

Aren’t labor unions supposed to look out for the health and welfare of their members? I ask myself that every time I hear about a union working to avoid having their members vaccinated.
