Yes they did! How about it #Canada? Care to follow suit and help out? U.S. supports waiving intellectual property rules for #COVID19 vaccines cbc.ca/news/world/us-…

If we want to get through this pandemic, Canada needs to: ✅ Support a #TRIPSwaiver at the WTO ✅ Push big pharma to give up #COVID19Vaccine patents and IP rights Check out @Srayale’s full interview with Todd Vanderheyden CTV News 👉 bit.ly/3utrzEO

Today’s statement by the Government of Canada continues their wait and see approach and downplays IP as a barrier to supply problems. Thus, Canada continues to prioritize profits over public health. #TRIPSwaiver #COVID19vaccines

And yet former Under Secretary of USPTO Andrei Iancu said on The Current on CBC Radio after @Srayale laid out the financial gains for big pharma this past year that they weren't in it for profit. Care to amend that comment? #PeoplesVaccine

"Last July, alongside other world leaders, Prime Minister of Canada wrote that 'where you live should not determine whether you live,' but that is exactly what is happening." We cannot continue this wait and see approach — and downplay IP as a barrier to supply problems. James McCarten 👇

Such a great piece to do on three men doing the work!

Agree 100%!!! Darnella Frazier, who filmed George Floyd’s murder by police, should win a Pulitzer Prize. It would be an unusual prize, and Frazier would be the youngest winner in Pulitzer history. But she should win it. By @RoyPeterClark | nie.mn/3tRUHEM

There’s no such thing as a former journalist. SO TRUE. "I know many of these “former journalists,” and they have not left their skills and values behind. They use them every day for the public good." via @RoyPeterClark poynter.org/reporting-edit…

Anthony Bourdain, who died three years ago today, began his writing career in the The New Yorker’s pages. Read his 1999 piece which rocked the entire restaurant industry & later became part of his groundbreaking book “Kitchen Confidential.” #NewYorkerArchive newyorker.com/magazine/1999/…

“If the best #G7 leaders can manage is to donate 1 billion vaccine doses then this summit will have been a failure” Anna Marriott. The world would need 11 billion doses to end the pandemic. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

The COVID-19 pandemic has left many people isolated and feeling the effects of loneliness. Especially for seniors, Sharon Butala writes, loneliness is now more widespread than ever. More here: thewalrus.ca/on-aging-alone/ 1/6 #MentalHealth #LonelinessAwarenessWeek

For those feeling hopeless about Afghanistan, here's what you can do right now to help: There's a kickass network of local Afghan women's organizations who've built a country-wide escape & support network for women's rights activists facing targeted assassination by the Taliban

The international community has a moral obligation to the Afghan people who have risked their lives in pursuit of peace, development and #HumanRights. We cannot afford to let another day or another hour pass without bold and rapid action. #PeaceForAfghanistan
