Please follow Dr Strang’s advice for schools. Wear a mask in school whenever possible and stay home when you’re sick.
Q: What's your advice to parents regarding managing risk at schools? A: Continue to recommend students wear a mask in school whenever possible, particularly indoors in large groups. Also, stay home when ill. #NSpoli

ONTARIO FOOD BANK 2025: Highest demand on record 🧸 1 in 3 is a child <18 yrs 🧑🦽 1 in 3 has a disability 😨1 in 4 has a job but can't make ends meet Food banks were meant to be a STOP-GAP measure ...NOT a solution. https://t.co/G9GXAj8qXK

A new report that says more than one million Ontario residents needed a food bank in the past year is "disheartening" but not surprising, says the CEO of Toronto's Daily Bread Food Bank.

CBC devalues its journalism by becoming no more than a YouTube channel. Now our national broadcaster is turning into AI slop. This is the enshittification of CBC and Canadian news in general https://t.co/p9MkdMMcZv

CBC is launching a new campaign aimed at reminding Canadians how our journalism can provide a safe harbour from the fake news and AI-generated content roiling through our feeds. As the campaign...

@BoydMath I was stunned to find a 1 bedroom ( nothing else) $2000+ utilities. The average senior in Nova Scotia lives on $2000 per mo. This math ensures seniors will increasingly become homeless. How do we pay for food, ever increasing utilities costs, meds...

CBC (#CDNmediaFailed) can't figure out why so many kids are missing school due to illness. 5 years into an airborne pandemic of an immune system disrupting, novel virus. Zero air quality improvements to our public schools since it began. 🤔🐘🤫

Long COVID is the NUMBER 1 chronic condition in children and it is nowhere to be found in this piece. This isn’t journalism. It’s propaganda.

COVID really opened my eyes to how much our society hates children, and how willing parents are to throw their own children under the bus. Because everyone else is doing it.

Can we stop interviewing rich men about topics they know nothing about simply because they are rich?

When they ask you (and they will ask you) if you are tired of wearing a mask all the time, you can tell them yes or you can tell them no, but be sure to tell them that what you are really tired of is everyone you know getting sick all the time.

“No scents makes sense” has been around for over 30 years it’s ridiculous this is still a problem. Scent free products are readily available, and once you eliminate the horrible chemical stench from your life you really notice it when someone uses them. https://t.co/6VCwNxhBNd

A Dartmouth woman wants Nova Scotia Health to step up enforcement around the use of scented products in its facilities after she said being exposed to them triggered asthma attacks.

Why can't #NovaScotia Health do messaging like this, instead of just giving up and closing our ERs every time staff are off sick again?
Wearing a mask in crowded indoor settings this fall can protect you and others from COVID-19, flu, and RSV, even if you don’t have symptoms. Well-fitting masks, like N95s, KN95s, or KF94s provide the best protection: https://t.co/GSNg7r7fQF

Remind me what form of capitalism this is: privately-owned nursing homes that are publicly-funded. The model that made Joe Shannon a billionaire. @rachelnadia_ Bargaining begins for #LongTermCare home workers after @nsgov delivers financial mandate #nslab

Nova Scotia's long-term care workers will head back to the bargaining after pleading the government to impose a financial mandate. They have been without contract for two years.

Legal question - schools are not following the officially posted ‘required building codes’ regarding ventilation and clean air. What can be done? Is there an agency supposed to be monitoring and fining or requiring to match the required building codes?

What is going on in Nova Scotia! I noticed my insurance getting very expensive but I didn’t realize how bad it was compared to most of the rest of Canada (except AB …)
Just renewed my #ICBC car insurance for a year, cost me all of $1477. That's $80 cheaper than last year, which was cheaper than the year before. Public auto insurance is a wonderful thing! Here's the 10-yr change in auto insurance costs by province from StatsCan. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

ER doc here. I'm here to tell you Influenza can lead healthy adults ending up in the ICU on a ventilator. Influenza can lead to signifiant missed work, suffering and hospitalization. Everyone should definitely get a flu shot. By @LaurenPelley

A reminder as we are in the midst of a peaking respiratory virus season that every school just crammed every student and staff member into one room for a 40min assembly and no one mentioned current public health advice to wear a mask in crowded settings. https://t.co/jCfto53T3c

This is attrition, which is a euphemism for layoffs. “We want to do this with creative solutions, not with mass layoffs or job cuts and we want to be targeted and strategic,” @JohnLohrPC. Story by @MichaelTGorman. #nspoli #NSGEU #nslab
