Apologizing for diet culture means nothing when it's done as a strategy to push drugs, further pathologize body size, and attack bodily autonomy.

Dissolve my riding with zero public notice, force employees back to work with no safety and no respect for bargaining agreements, and already be falling behind on H1N1 control. @JustinTrudeau, I want to know why I should vote for you or a @liberal_party MP again.

Anyone in the GTA/Souther Ontario area know of any C*vid-safer optometrists who are taking patients? #covidconscioustoronto @KashPrime - does @CanCovSoc have any listings of health providers who have maintained safety in their practices?

A reminder to #canadareads2024 that "focus" is an ableist comment, even if it's meant well. Nevermind that anecdotal discussion is welcome when in the "correct" high-brow context and frowned upon when it isn't.

Loblaws creating 7,500 mostly non-union, low-paying jobs with poor working conditions is not the win for the country they want us to think it is. When you're the country's biggest private employer and your own employees can't buy your damn food, expansion is a threat, not a win.

Colbert has someone who had a stroke on the show less than a week ago and now has c19 with a high enough viral load that a first test shows + right away. People shouldn't have to live like this when there's so much that can be done to clean the air and minimize risk.

Heard a Gvt of Alberta ad on Toronto radio for the first time. An attack ad against the federal gvt. Why is @stingray airing this in the Ontario market? Turned off @boom973 for the day. Don't need to ruin a day with family with manipulative disinformation from another province.

Disgusting that the British papers are reporting on Ed Byrne's new show, which addresses Covid denial, and actively denying his brother passed because of Covid.

An infectious disease specialist going on the news and saying it's sad but those who are more at risk will die when we have the tools to help stop that from happening is practicing politics, not medicine. I hope one day these people feel what they're putting us through.

Lucy Dacus having Big Opinions about Obama 3 months after performing with Matt Healy in the middle of the 'Taylor Swift's boyfriend can't be racist' press tour is some inspired caucacity.

That hostile country video really used Toronto G20 footage of the cop cars left by officers to burn after being lit by a couple of people who weren't even part of the protests? @CMT I hope you never air this video again and think twice about his other music.

Reading an entire story about Ontario hospital outbreaks of Covid, this time in the cardiac ward at William Osler. Not one mention of masks being used. No improved air quality. But they assure us they're cleaning more. Why do Ontario hospitals want patients to die?

Christ. Lisa Marie Presley died of a "known long-term complication" from food-restricting surgery. How often do you hear that's a risk? And how is it legal for the UK and US to make it policy to push this on parents as a way make children thinner?

Everything is a hellfire, but I did get to learn that Patrick Brown doesn't know how to pronounce lingering, even after 3+ years of a disabling pandemic. That helps make things make sense.

My brother in Christ, you just gave Doug Ford free money to add to his existing pile of hoarded money. We aren't getting that care. We're also constantly sick. I know it could be worse, but this is a broken country that can still be fixed.

Canadians are begging for remote work, but please. Let's focus on bringing in foreign talent to work from here instead while implying there are jobs for them. Don't do anything to encourage remote work in your own industries. That would be bananas.

Hannah Fearn whining it isn't the government's job to make Brits "comfortable" because they want to use A/C? Then saying they should be more like 'southern europeans' and take a break when it's hot? Hannah, your young, culturally ignorant bootstraps won't help anyone but Rish.

Remember when Toronto and the TTC promised to keep other downtown routes more accessible while they shut down Queen street for 4+ years? How does making the Dundas and King streetcars unusable for 6 months fit into that promise?
