If you go to an emergency room and don’t wear a mask, you’re a selfish prick. Same for oncology wards. Quite honestly, same for anywhere in a hospital. It’s about the easiest thing you can do to protect others.

Great interview, worth a listen.

Proud to be a Canadian. Video from today’s Elbows Up rally on Parliament Hill.
Americans, we have no interest in being part of your country. Clean up your house and become good neighbours again.

Header for CBC's 'Cross Country Checkup with Ian Hanomansing' changed to 'Cross Country Fuck Up.' Because that's what this show is.

Next week on #CrossCountryFuckUp.
With the threat of tarrifs, Canada is thinking about its resources. Should we start clear-cut logging our entire National Park System? Should Parks Canada have any say? We asked Tom, CEO of Domtar, and Darryl, who used to work at Beaver Lumber to join us.

I use anti fogging wipes and they work really well.

Makes me happy and sad at the same time. Happy to see people protecting themselves and others. Sad that it only happens on movie sets.

I’m the only one as well 😞

Same. In a good school year I’d only be sick 3 times. But there were lots of years where it would be 5 or 6 times. And of course we teachers would always drag ourselves in because it is so hard to plan for someone else. I’ve been sick twice since 2019, and neither time was from school. Love it.

I have a few dozen reasons why I mask, but one is the fact I’ve had symptoms of Lupus in the past. At the moment I have no issues with it. I absolutely don’t want to trigger it!

Winter has its own beauty.

Sure, it was a little scary, but we all rolled up our sleeves and put an end to Polio. Not just for ourselves, but for all of humanity.

How quickly we forget

Currently visiting Portugal. The number of stunning buildings completely abandoned is wild!

We were at the Trudeau airport two days after that. Of hundreds and hundreds of people, we saw only a couple of masks besides our own.

As an elementary teacher… same!

I always wear my race shoes on a flight. The thought of having to find shoes last minute before a race 😱

Just a thought for the day...

In our study we showed how angry neutrophils are massively entering the brain after #COVID infection, which is associated with Blood-Brain-Barrier disruption & Neuroinflammation. The photo below shows neutrophils infected with SARS-CoV-2. More data coming! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Very Significant Study on Long Covid Brain Damage: How COVID-19’s Spike Protein Affects the Brain, via Skull Bone Marrow Infection

COVID-19 has always been one of complexity, but within its long narrative, one chilling chapter is emerging—the role of our own bones in harboring (1/23)

I truly don’t understand why people would want to get on a plane without a mask. I also mask while teaching. Last one in the school.

Just wore a mask for about 11 hours in an airport and on the plane. Not difficult. But apparently too difficult for 99% of people.

There are four people masked on our plane. I guess people like getting sick.

Sitting in an airport- wild how masking is almost non existent. There is a small handful of us 😞

Why can’t public health just say “wear a mask” without having to use the word “consider”???

Getting on a plane this week. You can bet my mask will be on in the airport and on the plane ✈️ 😷
