No matter what horse you had in this race a 33% voter turnout means Ontario lost tonight. Every teacher, student, essential & front line worker lost tonight. Democracy lost tonight. Acountability & leadership lost tonight. Caring lost tonight.
To all my Canadian friends, if what happens in the USA constantly scares and upsets you, I would highly suggest looking into the conservative party platform and noticing many similarities to the USA structure. If you want Canada to remain a safe place for all don’t vote Cons
I think if anything has become abundantly clear over the last 5 weeks or so it’s that if you, or anyone you care about, has any chronic medical conditions you should NOT be voting PC in the election.
@jenniferlynn438@Enigmaticjones@imgrund We are not all vaccinated. 100% of people under 5 are not vaccinated. What about the folks who are immunocompromised? Do they not matter? If you can keep someone a little more safe by wearing a mask, why not?
@Enigmaticjones@imgrund How? We're all vaccinated, and have had covid. 90% of the population is vaccinated. We were NEVER going to get to 100%. There is inherent risk in everything we do every day. Stop blaming others & take some personal responsibility for your own risk factors.
If an indoor dining establishment does not continue with vaccine passports beyond March 1st, they’ve lost my business.
Retweet if this is your position too.
If @fordnation removes vaccine passes from restaurants, it will be THE death blow to the dining industry.
No way will you catch me venturing in to another restaurant for quite some time.
Text from a friend just now:
“Watching the news and I can’t believe it. The police are not even in riot gear. They always wear riot gear for Indigenous protests—even if there are only 10 people around.”
@RoseRicke@heatherhejduk@debrathomas638@JustinTrudeau It might not be a choice you like but it's a choice. I don't like getting spending tickets when I speed soni choose to drive the speed limit even when I don't like driving slowly.
@heatherhejduk@debrathomas638@JustinTrudeau Another lesson, the government made a choice to mandate the vax, the reprocussion is massive protests. Drop the mandate. Also tbf being forced to get a vax to work is not a “choice”
Canadians have the right to protest, to disagree with their government, and to make their voices heard. We’ll always protect that right. But let’s be clear: They don’t have the right to blockade our economy, or our democracy, or our fellow citizens’ daily lives. It has to stop.
If you point to Denmark dropping all COVID restrictions, the responsible thing to do is also point out the main reason they’re doing it is because they have ample health care and hospital capacity. As usual, context matters.
