I have COVID. It’s taken a while to wrap my head around it. I tested positive Christmas Day one day after my son tested + Christmas Eve. We think he picked it up at a sports camp because his buddy got it too. We accepted the risk of sending him and here we are. My symptoms…

It's astonishing that so many people (even in Canada) will angrily and sometimes violently defend their right NOT to wear a mask, but then won't acknowledge the right of others to deny them entry or service because they don't. If that's you, give your head a shake. #WearAMask

Can we assume you feel exactly the same way about the oil industry then? Would love to get your thoughts on that.

Why should any journo or news outlet get taxpayer funding? If they can’t figure out how to transition from newspapers & TV news to digital platforms, is it our responsibility to bail out a failed business model, especially when its their responsibility is to hold govt to account?

Listening to the evidence from Williams Lake First Nation and stories from survivors of the atrocities perpetrated against children tore me up today. The strength of Chief Willie Sellers to lead his people, and all Canadians, through this pain is remarkable and inspiring.

NEW: We're learning 2 officers were shot. Witnesses describe one with a leg injury, and one loaded into an ambulance receiving chest compressions. Spare a thought for anyone in law enforcement who shows up to work every day facing the possibility of a fatal interaction.

Fatigue. Congestion. Occasional cough. I’m double vaccinated but had just passed the 6 month mark and hadn’t received my booster yet. Will’s symptoms are milder than mine and Jane has no symptoms at all but she had a booster about 10 days ago. So what’s next…

When @chrisgailus 's lower left leg began swelling, he didn't think much of it initially. It turned out it was a blood clot, which caused a pulmonary embolism. Thanks to St. Paul's, he survived to tell the tale. Learn the symptoms this #WorldThrombosisDay

It took us 254 days to reach our first 10,000 cases of #COVID19 . It took only 35 days to reach our 2nd 10,000 and at current rates of transmission, BC will hit our 3rd 10,000 two days from now in just 17 days. You can see where this is going if we don't take it seriously...
