Meanwhile in Canada: A plane full of Ukrainian refugees just arrived in Newfoundland, ready to start their new lives. How did the province's Premier respond? By coming to greet them on the plane. 🇨🇦❤️

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when 85% of Conservative Party candidates won't disclose their own COVID-19 vaccination status, there's no way in HELL that they can convince 90% of Canadians to get vaccinated. Nope. It's just not happening. #elxn44

Serious question @TimHoustonNS why are you so eager to drop masks?? They are easy and provide a basic level of protection in particular for our young kids that can’t be vaccinated… please reconsider until the delta wave is over #covid19NS #masks #ProtectTheKids @NSTeachersUnion

@CanadianForces will operate an additional vaccine clinic in N.S. with the capacity to administer 500-1000 doses per day until such time that @redcrosscanada personnel can take over operation of the new clinic.

With bollards back on Rainnie Drive, crews are working on Lower Water Street next. They will add a few new bollards, and replace damaged ones. If you're parking on Lower Water, follow signage and park beside the bollards, not between them.

You got it! Keep going on the weekly testing as we open.....it’s our early detection system Nova Scotia!!
EXCITED ABOUT REOPENING? The acceleration depends on YOU! TESTING is as paramount as vaccination. PROVE that we can reopen permanently and manage Covid exposure. TEST: lives & economy depend on U! @ScienceStanford @nsgov @LisaBarrettID nshealth.ca/coronavirus/covi…
