My Daughter Shouldn’t Be Sacrificed to ‘Get Back to Normal’ via @TheTyee thetyee.ca/Opinion/2022/0… Instead of getting inclusive public health policy that respects the risk to vulnerable people, we’re being told to not be so fearful.

@ColinDMello I don't think Americans truly understand the depth and reasoning of this boycott. It's not just tariffs. It is morally repugnant to spend time and dollars in a country that is violating human rights, detaining citizens and visitors alike, and igniting wars globally. No thanks.

American Governors are pleading with Canadians to come back as tourism numbers plummet in the wake of Trump's tariffs. Eastern American Governors met with Eastern Canadian Premiers in Boston to talk about the cross-border impact. #onpoli

@cocokitty14 @DrIanWeissman You and me both. I turn 36 this year, and I'd happily pay to get this vaccine before I am 40. I had chickenpox when I was preschool age.

@DrIanWeissman Why do you have to be 50 to get it though? Us elder millennials had chickenpox too. I’d get a shingles vaccine today if I could.

"People who receive the shingles vaccine have a 23% lower risk of health problems like stroke, heart failure and heart disease." upi.com/Health_News/20…

@CTVVancouver This is why we need ranked voting.

Controversial candidate Aaron Gunn wins seat for Conservatives in B.C. ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

@CityNewsVAN The next NDP leader needs to work with the minority Liberal government on electoral reform. Time for proportional representation/ranked ballots. This election would have looked immensely different with this.

@ibrake4ants My loved one was in the hospital repeatedly before being taken seriously. They accused her of being anxious. Taking drugs. Attention seeking. Then a white male family member went with her….suddenly multiple different tests done & a follow up appt with a cardiologist is booked.

I was just in an ER & heard a girl being gaslit abt obvious POTS symptoms. Dr said EKG looked great & heart rate normal. She said her heart rate goes as low as 40s sometimes and as high as 140. Dr said “watches aren’t the most accurate”😡 & did another EKG to appease her 🙄

@ChristineGuent8 We are ok, thank you. Sharing on behalf of others.

@laesafaith So hoping you and your family are ok…sorry for your struggles…and everyone else sitting in that ER/hospital…thank you for the intel.

FYI, for anyone who cares...there are multiple measles cases at BC Children's Hospital. Wait times are up to 16 hours, and it is crowded. If it's there, it is likely at Surrey and Langley and Abbotsford hospitals too. #bcpoli

@Kristy91808800 Truly.

@laesafaith They would probably tell you to wash your hands lol

@Kristy91808800 You'd think the notice would add "travel to US" and there are massive outbreaks there right now. Not to mention "travel to Ontario or Quebec" as they too have outbreaks listed, and are being tracked.

@laesafaith I saw a PH notice for Royal Columbian otherwise it was so vague like travelled to SE Asia ( no connection to other traveller) ummm does Fraser Health have any idea how big that is ? No notice to yvr or the plane

@Kristy91808800 Would be a good time to have functioning public health.

@laesafaith Whaat

@Katie___Simpson We. don't. want. american. dairy. Ew.

The profanity in the Trump / Trudeau phone call happened during a heated exchange around dairy, according to a senior Canadian government source. The Wall Street Journal was first to report tensions reached the point of profanity.

@Hunter_Eagleman @EdKrassen He resigned because he put Country over personal gain.

@EdKrassen Governor Trudeau literally resigned because he can’t handle his job?! 😂😂😂😂

BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just dropped a bomb on Trump. He speaks directly to the American people. He explains clearly the repercussions of Trump's Trade War on Canada, and exactly how it's going to cause tremendous pain to Americans. He is clear that Canada loves America and the American people and they want nothing to do with this. But it's Trump's doing, and his actions will cause immense damage to America.

@IamMattski1984 @iamkennethchan I felt it in North Surrey

@iamkennethchan None here in south surrey

BREAKING... Magnitude 5.1 earthquake with an epicentre in the Sunshine Coast area, felt across Metro Vancouver. It had a shallow depth of just 9 km. Did you feel it? dailyhive.com/vancouver/metr…

@PossiblySyth Yep. Felt here in Surrey, BC. The whole house shook.

UHHH JUST HAD AN EARTHQUAKE IN VANCOUVER, BC!?????

So - did everyone just feel that earthquake in BC?

@ldodger @StephTaitWrites Literally could be any other viral infection. Coronavirus. Rhinovirus. Humanmetapnuemo virus. Para influenza. Respiratory syncytial virus. Adenovirus.

@StephTaitWrites I’m not challenging your post, but what is the milder form of the flu called? I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had the real “flu.”

@dkreative1 @Avis_Favaro Yeah, it’s expensive. You kinda get what you pay for though, don’t you?

@Avis_Favaro Interested, until they do the math. Lower dollar. More taxes. Worse GDP per capita. And buying a house? Very expensive compared to the U.S. It’s why we’ve traditionally had “brain drain”, going TO the U.S.

There’s been so much interest from US 🇺🇸health workers about jobs in Canada that I’m posting recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories here’s the list: 🧵

Reminder for all - healthcare is under provincial jurisdiction, here it falls under Fords conservative government. Reminder for all - wearing a respirator when attending the hospital protects you and protects those at even greater risk around you. Hospitals should mandate them.

@DrWilliamMD I wear the Vitacore N95 from @canadastrong

Lately more people have been reaching out that they are interested in masking again(a small win) Those of you who mask regularly please provide recommendations on masks that are effective, safe, comfortable, easy to breath in besides the standard 3M n95 & n99
