SOHCAHTOA is a mnemonic device that is used in mathematics to remember the definitions of the three most common trigonometric functions.
Don't think racist cosplay needed to remember them though
Only parent here. Widowed. No other income other than mine. No family in town. Kids would be orphaned if I die + we would lose our sole income if I'm disabled by COVID. This is a workers', human rights, disability rights & O&HS issue. You're not "progressive" if you don't get it.
@CrookedMedia
@PodSaveAmerica
To put it bluntly, if my husband were to be unable to work due to Long Covid, we would likely lose everything.
So, instead, we read peer reviewed journals. We stay as informed as possible. We hope it’s enough. /7
@MalakaGharib
EVERYONE is vulnerable, especially with repeated infections. YOU may be too.
EVERYONE becomes disabled before death - the privileged so callously disregard this fact.
He is having a rational response to a real threat. He is NOT anxious -ppl in denial ARE.
@dabickford
Which is great, and thank you for all you do, but the unmasked other half of the class is still putting that family at risk. Why my kids can no longer attend school in-person next week & I am an only parent
@CanadaUN
🙄to those saying "this isn't traditional diplomacy/is unbecoming/accomplishes zero". In IR circles, the UN's long been perceived as a doc factory w/diplomats labouring over docs no one sees, to little effect. THIS subverts that image to call out propaganda in real time w/satire.

@CHEO
w/my medically-compromised kid. Nurse says must avoid infections, so kid should "wash hands" as key measure. I said handwashing good but of course COVID-19 is primarily airborne, & she launched into droplets & surfaces.
@CHEO
, it's airborne. Stop with the droplet dogma.
@RexChapman
This is the PM going after Fox News North or OAN equivalent when they were whining about not being accredited during the election debate

@CarymaRules
@OttawaPolice
, this is not peaceful. This is harmful noise pollution that is terrorizing families, including small children and pets. DO YOUR JOBS
@SoniaSAslam
Because so many people are making "enlightened" decisions and following the recommendation to mask in schools and public places.
This is an all-out abdication of responsibility and it is immoral and unethical.
Since when do we give into bullies?
@glen_mcgregor
It is NOT THE JOB of OPS to generate sympathy for the occupiers.
It IS their job to enforce the law and protect Ottawa residents. What about OUR downtown children?
@CBCNews
Anti-vaxxers love this article, CBC, because the misinfo in it is like red meat to them. Milder symptoms with reinfection does not mean reinfections are benign & do not harm even healthy individuals. Even healthy individuals are having negative outcomes from COVID incl Long Covid
@CanadaUN
War is already happening. The entire Cdn Parliament was banned from RUS. We don't have real diplomatic relations w/RUS & won't while Putin's President. Disinfo is playing a real role in this conflict. Copy edited "jaw-jaw" to attack disinfo in "war-war" is effective soft power.🏆
@arocxo
@DebHolloway
Why mask mandates should be mandatory for essential services...and pharmacies are workplaces, why aren't employers following OH&S LAW and protecting employees against an identified workplace hazard, COVID-19?
@BernieSanders
@NDP
@theJagmeetSingh
This is disinfo. The NDP did nothing for working people in the pandemic - they claimed they did a lot, but they did nothing.
The NDP's climate action plan has been independently assessed at 2/10 by climate change experts. The Liberals have the best rated plan.
@laurieallee
Me too
On the off chance they are wrong about everything (they are), they want us all to be in the same boat
Mask-wearers remind them of their potential culpability, especially those responsible for the care of others
@glen_mcgregor
That is not reason enough to let them stay. That is part of the propaganda effort-using children are a shield. Stop giving them airtime for excuses for inaction.
There are children in houses all over the occupied downtown. One completed suicide in despair of the occupation.
@lakesidehi
Vs a former drug dealer, high school dropout who is building a needless highway to benefit his friends and who has the worst attendance record of any Premier ever, literally not showing up for work? Really?
@btherookie20
Ditto Taylor Swift
But as others have said, imagine if they masked and spoke out in favour of masking, reinforced that COVID-19 is not over
#forceforgood
@haleyjo261
My kids are able to keep masking at school, all-day long, with proper respirators, despite peer pressure, isolation and bullying, but some HCWs who have an ethically-driven duty of care to vulnerable patients cannot hack it? This is weak and unacceptable.
@OttawaPolice
I care about the safety of RESIDENTS
I DO NOT care about the safe movement of an illegal convoy. They are not allowed in the downtown. They do not have permits. They can lawfully protest on foot but NOT WITH VEHICLES which they use as weapons
@suo_gan
Yup. Meaningless if it does not include instigators, funders, inciters. Analogous to going after blue collar crime but allowing white collar crime to occur with impunity.
@BogochIsaac
Person formally trained in risk assessment here:
Low risk (likelihood) + high impact (disability, post-COVID sequelae, unknown downstream effects) ALWAYS = AVOID, MITIGATE
It NEVER means DO NOTHING, make like it's inevitable, shrug your shoulders
@LaurenPelley
This is medical misinfo. One of the same ppl who lambasted the Tyee for posting pre-print info about reinfections is now blithely saying reinfections are benign in “healthy” individuals w/o this being known or proven. Your symptoms being milder doesn’t mean reinfection is benign
@opinionated75
Because you know there's a risk your kids could develop long COVID or other issues fr. even a mild case
Because you actually care about HCWs & people with disabilities
Because you value collective rather than only individual security & responsibility
You're a good person
@WendyNorthey
Except they were never imprisoned. It was strict, but not imprisonment. But they saw how Europe and N. America were lying & pretending that everything was normal, and in that context, everything looks like an overreaction.
@CanadasLifeline
“Masks are welcome” is particularly egregious as a choice of words and policy - gaslighting. We are in a wave. COVID-19 can be debilitating & sometimes lethal. Masks are not for comfort or for anxiety - they are for SAFETY & it is an OH&S issue for your workplace & employees
@Travisdhanraj
@JustinTrudeau
Wtf is this
Are all journalists pleased to engage in propaganda efforts?
Gatineau Park is 15 mins from the office.
Muskoka is at least 2.5 hrs from Toronto & is the Premier’s vacation home
The PM has not been absent for weeks; the Premier has

@BruceAHeyman
It is not a protest, it’s an occupation. Seniors & disabled unable to leave homes, running out of food. PM out of town b/c of credible death threat. People downtown harassed, intimidated & assaulted for wearing a face mask. They are spreading COVID ard our city, refuse masks.
@AndersonAfDMdEP
@JustinTrudeau
I’m from Ottawa. This was a fascist hate rally & illegal occupation fr the start. They intimidated, harassed & assaulted residents & employees for wearing masks. Businesses lost $millions. Seniors & ppl w/disabilities afraid to leave homes. Kids terrorized, 1 completed suicide.
@CBCNews
43K+ dead Canadians from COVID-19 & our public broadcaster minimizes this virus + equates it to the common cold. Reinfections? No problem! The part about it being a problem is buried behind experts saying symptoms get milder (maybe) and implying reinfections are benign (UNKNOWN)
@jkwan_md
We know it's going to keep snowing so we might as well give up and let that snow accumulate everywhere. The strong can shovel their way out and eat what's left in their chest freezers until the snow thaws. As for the rest, 🤷♂️
@BernieSanders
While the province of Alberta declared a state of emergency due to COVID-19, the NDP leader was playing on Twitch, which is owned by Amazon, a company he says he hates but doesn't mind fundraising for.
@ABDanielleSmith
You are disgusting. This is eugenics, plain and simple.
This is ableist and a violation of the human rights of your populace.
You are not fit to be Premier. You are not fit to tie the shoes of a person living with a disability who can die because of your vile policies.
@GoodLifeFitness
If you don’t see that fully vaccinated staff & members is a competitive advantage for your business, you aren’t very good at business.

I'm a graduate of gender equality studies at the graduate level.
It's fine. She initiated it. They are both warm people.
Your comment is sexist. She has agency.
@CrockpotIi
They won’t freeze to death. They just have to move. Fuel like this is not allowed to be transported by ANYONE & especially not by hate mongers this close to the Parliament Buildings. It is patently unsafe.
This is an illegal occupation now
@little_ditty_no
I do not respect those who choose not to mask. At all. They can harm others & are a big part of what’s driving many in this thread to stay home & isolated. That is not equitable. That is not “freedom” or respecting the right of others to survive & be part of society.
@amandalhu
I mean, one of my kid's classmates just died of complications from a transplant- had to virtual school because of lack of mitigations in public schools.
You're right, they're SICK, not playing hooky.
@JessWoodchuck
Used to work in tourism in southern ON & American tourists literally did come up with skis in summer or think they could budget 5 days to get to BC & back by car

This ad is great: it is unifying Canadians of all political stripes around how ghastly & immature it is.
Thank you. First time Cons & everyone else agree on something.
More of this please. 🇨🇦👏

MORE CANADIANS DIED IN 2022 THAN IN 2021 or 2020
Stop gaslighting and misleading the public
Do your job- educate about the real risks of COVID-19 and advocate harder for

Anything else is NEGLIGENCE - 49K dead
@bleasdalefamily
Lifting mask mandates was a colossal mistake & it is ironic that his employer is giving him work safety training while ignoring occupational health & safety laws which mean you have to protect your employees against COVID as well, by masks
@1MikeMorris
It's anti-wokeism, Mike. White men especially & some white women want to perpetuate the patriarchy, maintain their control of jobs & wealth production, and be as racist/misogynist/homophobic as they please w/ no consequences. I have one in my family: Trudeau is too woke for them
@CBCNews
I want to be clear: removing mask mandates in hospitals & LTCs is unethical, immoral, ableist, an abrogation of human rights, a pro-mass infection policy that patients did not consent to, & criminally negligent.
If you a HCW or administrator who thinks this is OK, you are vile
@DcrInYYC
Perfection is absolutely the enemy of the good. A non-fit tested respirator or mask will always be better than nothing & is NEVER an excuse to do nothing.
That most of us don't have fit-tested respirators is why two-way universal masking works so well & one way doesn't.
@CBCQueensPark
@Chapmans_Canada
Just added Chapman's to my grocery basket this a.m. because of their principled stance on this.
Also because these frozen yogurt bars are 😋
Thanks for being good corporate citizens,
@Chapmans_Canada
In the past 24 hours, 2 activist accounts I followed that never tweeted hate or broke Twitter’s TOS were both suspended, at least one permanently. The first is a Canadian acct warning about the misogynist Con leader who if elected would be a threat to our democracy.
@wsbgnl
I also like the logic behind saying "masks don't work" and then saying to vulnerable people "you can wear a mask if you want" and forcing them to rely on one-way masking with a device they believe doesn't work.
I mean, could you BE any more clearly eugenicist?
