These protests are already succeeding and they haven't even happened yet! 🇨🇦 must adopt a real two-way arms embargo -- at a minimum. @IndJewishVoices @JewsSayNo
City-wide pro-Palestinian rallies are planned at major intersections along Bloor Street and Danforth Avenue on Tuesday, when participants are expected to demand an arms embargo as the Israel-Gaza war intensifies.

Hospital-acquired/ nosocomial #COVID infections should be "never events". This is happening now in 70 hospitals in 🇨🇦 (from 10 provinces & 1 territory) participating in Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program. BC hospitals are well represented https://t.co/ByancGUraP

Prime Minister @MarkJCarney Now's the time to fix the Canadian Disability Benefit. - make it means tested including disability income from all sources - Increase the benefit to $500 a month - Strong disincentive in federal funding to provinces who claw back the benefit

WAKE UP, People. Today, Palestine is a REVEALER of the system we live in. Not long ago, European Jews were genocided in 'civilized' Europe, under everyone's eyes: they were "unseen", and not many seemed to care. Today, millions of people "see" and are trying to stop Israel's
I’m a British Jew. I’m 63 All my life I could not understand how millions of ordinary people could take part in the Holocaust NOW I see Israel’s GENOCIDE & the support from the West including people who consider themselves thoughtful, liberal, & upholders of human rights, NOW

Me one year ago. I say it again today. Same Thornhill synagogue is again providing cover for the sale of stolen property. Canadian authorities grant total impunity to Zionists because . . . uh . . . hmmm . . . .
During last years real estate bonanza of illegal Israeli settlements, inside a synagogue, protesters outside were called antisemitic. I asked Rabbi David @Mivasair about being called an antisemite.

Hey @CBCNews editors, maybe you could learn a thing or 2 from Israel's Haaretz newspaper and take the real consequences of unwavering support for this rogue state out for a spin every now and again

My daughter and I are part of this excellent deep dive into school air quality. @fordnation performed “COVID theatre”, ie nice soundings promises & big $$ but there’s little to show for it. Most schools and all school buses are unhealthy for workers & students. #VoteFordOut
The Ontario government touted its efforts to improve air quality in schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those efforts could also limit the risk of wildfire smoke and vehicle exhaust, but there’s scant data on what was done and if it worked.

If another provincial election is imminent, please read how Team Ford won themselves a second term in 2022. It's really important, and it'll show you what shenanigans to look out for this time. Free to read, thanks to our paid subscribers. https://t.co/EtH5Qeiibj

The Ontario PC Party and friends excelled at voter suppression during 2022 provincial election, getting Doug a second term

@DrHanwell @1goodtern Found how to view the existing community notes in order to review them. As suggested, everyone please sign up to be a community notes reviewer. I was asked to be one and agreed.

@kadamssl And can you imagine if our public health messaging around this was as weak as the 'consider a mask' approach 'You might please consider not drinking 10 pints before driving" "If you do need to drink and drive please think about wearing your seatbelt"

So, last epi year babies' ICU rates were very high for both COVID and Flu. Higher for COVID (left graph) This year we are on the same track. What about RSV this year? Babies' ICU rates are *wildly* high! (right graph) >2x higher than the whole year of COVID 6/

"Hopefully in 2025, our leaders will realize that the societal, and economic costs of not providing clean air in daycares, schools and school buses are too great for them not to act." @ONSchoolSafety agrees! https://t.co/LepnCvQ69h

Good news, New review shows Portable Air Filters work as intended & can be a cost-effective measure to reduce exposure to airborne pathogens in healthcare settings 😊 Thank you @VicLeungIDdoc et al! 🇨🇦 👏👏👏
Good to see our multidisciplinary team work finally published - "Science tells us that portable air filters reduce infections. It's time for public health authorities to make this clear" https://t.co/Fzt0ofUnPS
