I've lived in Ottawa for 6 yrs. It took 3 yrs to get a family doctor. She left within 6 mo. I got another GP in 2021. She just emailed to say she's closing her practice. I can't express how broken our system is and how much damage it does to people like me w complex medical needs

Imagine considering yourself progressive and sending this email while the death toll on Gaza reaches 9,000. With no mention of what's happening. How are we expected to support the NDP when they exiled one of the only members who stood for Palestine during a literal gen*c!de?

Canadian COVID Forecast: Nov 4 - 17, 2023 SEVERE: CAN, AB, BC, MB, NB, NL, North, NS, ON, PEI, QC, SK VERY HIGH: none HIGH: none ELEVATED: none MODERATE: none LOW: none About 1 in 23 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

I am barely on this app any more but wanted to jump on to point out that a year ago, 1 in 10 Canadians had long COVID and now it's 1 in 9. When are we going to stop accepting this lack of safety and unnecessary risk? cbc.ca/news/health/lo… #CovidIsntOver #CovidIsAirborne

Me: No big deal The deal:

Today in white feminist things you can't make up: A candidate running for OPSEU President quoted Mariame Kaba & Kelly Hayes in one breath and then *refused* to support a ceasefire in Palestine when asked. #OPSEU #CeasefireNOW

Many people stop to reflect & mourn, but few care to make change. Legislated deep poverty is the root. But unless you live it – you don't have to actually care....so you don't.

This is the definition of a policy failure. She needed support. She begged for assistance. And now she is gone.

Too many tears and too little justice. I am heartbroken by the news of Erin's death. And furious at the indifference of the politics and policies that keep disabled folks in crisis. Erin deserved comfort and security. #VLBFriend

"You're wearing a mask. Are you sick?" Yeah I'm sick of your eugenicist bullshit

Erin's death has hit me pretty hard. We're pretty accustomed to loss in the disability community, particularly in the age of MAID. Even still, I am shaken today. I've written out some of my thoughts rowest.ca/writing/sideli… #VLBFriend

This shows why telling people to "get help" is not enough. She tried so hard. So, so hard. She deserved so much more. So did her cat. #VLBFriend

“we overcame a once in a century pandemic” he says, while he is dropping out of a race, has COVID right now, and the wastewater data for the country looks like this

Now that she's dead, veganlovebunny's tweets are getting a ton of likes and RTs. They were mostly ignored while she was alive.

I gave an unhoused person going through alcohol withdrawals $15 today and I'm happy I could help. They're on a waitlist for a detox bed, and it's harm reduction to keep them alive until then. It's OK to give people cash for their addictions. Unmedicated withdrawal is deadly.

It’s all, “I love disabled people” until we ask for an accommodation to help us live, then it’s, “That’s too much of an inconvenience for me.”

Disabled people are killing themselves in Canada. Assisted, or by themselves. Ableist abuse/harrassment, no help from alleged "supports", legislated deep poverty. It's a storm of ableist systems failing at once. The eugenics can be seen, are you paying attention?

When I'm struggling with groceries I will never forget that the Federal NDP sold out disabled people's wellbeing and their lives as a whole when they voted for Budget 2024, locking the CDB's intentionally abysmal Budget.

New data from Stats Can shows the cost of incarceration per inmate is $326/day. Supportive housing costs $72/day. 1 in 5 people incarcerated is homeless. We can't police our way out of a #HousingCrisis and need to stop seeing the carceral system as an appropriate solution.
