Alarming, undemocratic, violating #humanrights, refusing to listen to those so dedicated to giving our children a good public education that they were willing to stay out on strike, at much cost/sacrifice to themselves, to get our govt to listen to what they, frontline workers, see in the classroom.

She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote.

#measles outbreak in Ontario

When you're chronically ill, your body runs the show. You can't outrun the realities of disability. If you don't listen to your body, it will force the issue.

If you need to rest, rest. If you need to say 'No', say no. If you need to cancel something, cancel. If you need accommodation, ask.

Meanwhile in AB....

Measles cases up 33% over the weekend.
increase of 9.

Black and white, ink drawing of what I think may be the North Saskatchewan river valley, with birch trees up close, spruces and other trees lining the river in the background. In the winter.

Feeling grateful for the gifts of music and art that our Dad left for us. Today, I found this old drawing that he did the year and month I was born! (January 1975) Thank you Papa!🥰🕊️

Beyond long COVID — how reinfections could be causing silent long term organ damage It’s now been five years since the COVID pandemic stopped the world in its tracks. The virus is still with us, and continues to make people sick. As many as 1 in 5 Canadians have experienced symptoms ...

If you’re interested in a crash course from the beginning in chronic issues with COVID I recommend this excellent interview with David Putrino. Perhaps the least well understood consequence is the damage every infection likely causes everyone, symptomatic or not.

Happy 60th birthday to our flag. (Since I am also 60, I feel a certain solidarity.) The timing of this Flag Day feels fortuitous. But our national pride has to be about more than flag waving. We all have to stand up for the ethical values that make us so proud to be Canadian. #FlagDay #Canada
