Nova Scotia remains the only province that has widely deployed the use of rapid tests in the general public. People are lining up for hours in downtown Halifax just to get a rapid test.

R. Strang just suggested that stores put up signs that say 'This store is for ppl in our community. If you aren’t from our community please don’t come in' and just like that Black ppe are no longer welcome, cause Black ppl are often viewed as strangers and not community members

To parents in Halifax Needham (and HRM), you may be eligible for this 500/week federal benefit if you can't go to work because of the HRCE school closures. We need paid sick days for everyone, but in the meantime we do have this: canada.ca/en/revenue-age…

Dr Strang on a cantankerous medical professional:

Nova Scotia's masterclass on how to manage the #COVID19 pandemic. .

So...imo you can't be a feminist and vote for the NS liberals in this elxn. #IsaidWhatisaid #nspoli

Coming from the guy who secretly delisted a protected provincial park only to sell it for $300/acre to an American developer. Privatization ≠ protection, Iain.

Suzy is elected in Halifax Needham 🙌🏻 #nspoli #nsndp #somethingbetter

HALIFAX: I need you to understand this this time. Our riding has been a Liberal/NDP race since 1980. Electing a New Democrat or electing a Liberal achieve the same outcome of not giving the CPC a seat. All we can control is who wins our seat, not who forms government. #Elxn44

I hope Tim Houston is planning to arrange childcare & compensation for families required to cover for surprise extra days of school break. School based vaccination would be a better way of ensuring kids get the vaccine. #nspoli

So, now that we’re at 500+ cases per day, testing is severely limited, kids under 12 without pre-existing conditions (none of whom have 2 doses) and teachers are not eligible for PCRs, maybe it’s time to have a Covid briefing? #nspoli

It’s not easy, but it’s simple: until we have given kid primary vaccines, boosters for (part. older) people, and access to effective early oral therapy, we’ve got to keep our maskless indoor interaction to a bare minimum. Yes, we CAN for another 8 weeks. I know Canadians can.

"COVID Anxiety" is an insulting term. It's designed to belittle those who have a rational fear of a very real illness. If I wear a lifejacket on a boat, I don't have Water Anxiety. I have a legitimate safety concern and I want to protect myself as much as possible.

Holy. Shit. What a brilliant, horrifying cover.

Again — stop calling them “Pro-life”. That term is their propaganda language. Call them what they are: “anti-choice” “anti-abortion” “anti-women” or the “forced birth movement”

OMG Junior Jay Sunday and the guest announcer introducing players is AWESOME! Toronto Blue Jays HIRE HIM!
