Ford government's controversial Bill 60 passes in Ontario legislature A controversial housing bill by Premier Doug Ford's government is coming up for a final vote in the Ontario legislature on Monday.

The Doug Ford government hates poor people and they should not be allowed to enter any business that employs minimum wage workers without being driven out by the staff in shame, and yes I am so serious about this. share.google/uziYkHKA57ob...

Wow. That’s unreal.

[Simulated overhead projector slide:] The silent erosion of COVID-19 awareness & management in B.C.: A TIMELINE [A timeline of the year 2025 and the January of 2026. Numbered diamonds are placed on the timeline to mark the events below.] 1. April 16: Amount & timeliness of SARS-CoV-2 sample data uploaded to GISAID, an online repository, deteriorate. 2. May: The end of RAT Kit Distribution Program is announced in a professional newsletter. This provided free RAT kits to pharmacies. 3. May 31: RAT kits orders from this day onwards would not be reimbursed. 4. June: The BCCDC page dedicated to how COVID-19 spreads is removed. 5. September 1: Under the MSP, less than 20 people will be allowed in an online group medical visit. Scores of bed and housebound people will lose telehealth access to a long COVID and ME/CFS clinic. Delayed until January. 6. September 15: Sponsored Vancouver Sun article suggests the program that generates SARS-CoV-2 data from wastewater samples would be expanded and describes the then-current state of the program. 7. September 18: The wastewater surveillance program is cut: 8 of 12 wastewater treatment plants will no longer be monitored, and 1 sample will be taken per week instead of 3. 8. October 14: The year's vaccination campaign starts with widespread shortages.

I have been trying to raise awareness about the recent cuts to pandemic preparedness by provincial institutions in BC for the past 1½ months. Most of the cuts were not announced to the public beforehand and media coverage has been scant. 1/?

TOO high, especially when #WeHaveTheTools to prevent it.

For sure! How awful for all those who are now in more potentially dangerous health situations.

Put it in the Louvre.

But, like, with guards or something.

Grrrr 😉

So stressful!

Our pleasure!

I think safer hours should be available for everything… from haircuts to cinemas… of course agree with grocery shopping…

Also, pharmacies and other healthcare should permanently maintain safeguards. People can’t afford to wait for those.
