"...Ukrainian teachers from across the occupied areas of southern Ukraine will be taken to 'requalification camps' in Russian-occupied Crimea so that they would follow 'Russian standards' in the classroom." https://t.co/9qMtoo6eig

The Russians are installing pro-Moscow politicians, dismantling Ukrainian institutions and hunting for dissenters.

Is it really too much to ask that people who want to comment upon Canada's emergency laws maybe consider reading those laws?

Congrats to Vancouver Sun's Lisa Cordasco for questioning Dr. Bonnie Henry on COVID-19 test stockpile and not backing down when Dr. H claimed "urban myth." Health Ministry confirmed more than 1 million tests were indeed in storage.

I’ve seen a lot of Covid in the ER recently. With so many people getting infected recently, some folks may wonder what’s the point of getting vaccinated at all? And is there really any value to a booster dose if I’ve had two Pfizer/Moderna or a shot of J&J? My observations: 🧵

I think 2 things are true: Teachers are overwhelmed and tired and teachers still need and want to learn. To that end, how do we design professional learning that equally honors both of those truths?

#BREAKING: British Columbia is now in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Tuesday. https://t.co/gGXzoQvm9e

Dr. Bonnie Henry said the good news is that some of the areas where case counts are the highest are also seeing the highest increase in vaccination rates.

Stop acting like pandemic mandates are a tyrannical attack on your "freedoms" & "rights". You aren't free to drive drunk or smoke in restaurants. It's not "your right" to take a dump on Main Street. When you live AMONG OTHERS there are rules to protect the group. This is not new.

So annoyed. Grad photo day finally here. Showed up and I wasn’t allowed in, which would have been fine except they didn’t take any photos with the ball she brought in with her! 😠 Why else is it there if not to take photos with? @artona #CustomerService
