Tests are difficult to get because the province is limiting access. It would be nice if the other political parties advocated for continued distribution. It's a worthwhile expense.

“If Deborah, an experienced paediatrician, was not listened to, what hope do other parents have of getting doctors to hear their concerns?”

I’ll never understand minimizing a 1364% increase in pneumonia cases as an “uptick” “IWK sees uptick in walking pneumonia cases this year” “Clarke said wearing a mask when sick and handwashing can help prevent the spread of the illness.” cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

We’ve had more than enough time, mountains of evidence, and years of budget surplus far in excess of the cost to put air filters in every classroom.

Residential school denialists don’t want you to watch Sugarcane - a new documentary about the St. Joseph’s Residential School that’s getting Oscar buzz and is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. That’s a good reason to check it out and learn about the legacy of the IRS system.

SUNDAY RANT: I was on call today. 100% of the patients seen had a respiratory infection ...some had COVID-19. ER's are overwhelmed. Hospital beds are at 200% capacity. And yet - MASKS ARE STILL NOT REQUIRED in primary care settings.

Been thinking about this all day. Dom is right. Even many mainstream disability movements are constantly trying to distance themselves from intellectual disability. I am begging you to be in solidarity with people with ID.

Eugenics relies on people believing the lie that the individual is solely responsible for their health and that any sort of collective responsibility for public health is a burden instead of what it is—the best way to keep humanity healthy and safe.

The pandemic is NOT over ...so WHY is 🇨🇦Public Health Agency NOT posting this information? A: Because the provinces & territories REFUSE to share their public health info, even though it's EASILY ANONYMIZED covid19resources.ca/covid-hazard-i…

This is literal Nazi propaganda for the Aktion T4 programme - the first phase of the Nazi genocide. "An unhealthy person costs the Reich 5.50 Reichsmarks per day. A healthy family can live on 5.50 Reichsmarks a day."

For those who don’t know, the secrecy around disability, “mind your business, you don’t know their family” rhetoric is why institutions for disabled adults thrived. People were choosing silence, and “parents know best.” Those institutions turned into mass graves because of it.
