Sí estás pensando venirte a Canadá 🇨🇦 porque ganó Boric, piénsalo dos veces: ✔️Aborto legal; ✔️ Matrimonio LGBT+; ✔️Marijuana legal; ✔️ Sólo universidades públicas; ✔️Sólo salud pública; ✔️Mucho más adelante en el camino a reconciliación con pueblos indigenas, etc…

I’m muting this tweet now.
Grateful that Der Spiegel has translated this into English so more of the world can get a glimpse of what a major long-form magazine article here looks like.
Folks eager to catch COVID should consider that MS is probably “long Epstein Barr.” Shingles is “long Chicken Pox.” Etc… Viruses have many mechanisms to wreak havoc in our bodies beyond the initial disease.
Springs Church is claiming the grad is a TV production and therefore permitted under the orders. Never mind that what I saw clearly did not abide by Manitoba industry COVID policies — is this a charitable church or is this an industry venture? Pick your lane.
The blacklisting in Germany of international filmmakers and curators who signed a letter of concern to Oberhausen short film festival over of stigmatizing language used by the festival director continues. More info:
Southern Manitoba’s TP rate of 15% means there are a lot of people with symptoms who are not testing, but instead spreading it around, possibly to people it will kill. It sure puts that region’s ethics out for all to see.
@JesseKellyDC
Please save us. We’re trapped in our igloos because the Canadian thought police have released polar bears and it’s impossible to get out of here. Polar bears being the only animal that eats humans. If you make it past them, that’s when you reach the vaxx police. PLEASE SEND HELP
If “unsafe work environments for her staff” means she has activated a sea of angry old racists who are physically menacing her for daring to be a Black woman speaking - you are then punishing her for being a Black woman speaking, and need to just come out and say it.
TLDR: Manitoba wants symptomatic vaxxed folks to get on a bus to a PCR test site. Return home to self-test + if positive, get on another bus as a likely OMICRON super spreader to go back to test site a 2nd time, because the Stefanson government is completely incompetent.
It is literally earth-shattering for a Chilean president to speak in Mapudungún, the language of the Indigenous Mapuche people, who as one First Nation make up approx 10% of Chile’s population.
Boric talks Mapudungún in his speech, thanks the regions from north to south, speaks to all generations, discusses nature and animals, points to equal rights for women and sexual minorities. He says he'll protect democracy. In short, the inclusive president he said he'd be.

I’m going to save your handle and send you news details every time a Christian kills somebody around the world. Get ready, you’re going to receive a whole heck of a lot of tweets.
The Stefanson govt’s rapid tests to corps only program has me LIT ON FIRE. Seeing all the pretend progressive types posting about being in on the corporate raiding of an essential citizen resource. Post some more folks about how you cut the 5-day COVID test line b/c of your job.
Overheard: woman at Winnipeg hair salon just drove her daughter to Calgary to “decompress” and returned to Winnipeg last night, then proceeded into hair salon this morning. <— this is how we enter into the second wave.
Systemic racism in the media works in partnership with it in policing: compare and contrast treatment of white people by police and media accounts, to basically any other demographic.
Also blacklisted from that list, Danish filmmaker and visual artist Tinne Zenner, who has had her upcoming show with Makroscope cancelled for being a letter signatory. Tinne’s father is a Jewish survivor of WWII
“There is a campaign in Canada to silence everyone who says what I have just said.” -
@NoLore
Watching what’s unfolding in Canada right now has shaken me to the core. Folks are being fired / suspended / publicly humiliated for literally saying they support human rights for all.
Remember the time when Stefanson fans kept insisting that she would follow the science but Glover was a danger because she would *gasps* remove protocols and fail to respond?
Warren: Surgeries getting cancelled to increase ICU bed capacity to 110.
Some surgeries are being cancelled. You will get a call if your procedures are getting cancelled.
Calling hospital staff seeking access to rapid tests given their work places them at real risk “theft,” while bigwig corporate office types are given free access to tests for no reason other than their privilege, is rich
@EricTopol
It is a “testing thing,” because nobody in Canada except basically health care workers and patients in-hospital are allowed official testing. The “flattening” started when testing restrictions were imposed.

@Vinncent
Look, I get many Germans have Nazi’s in their ancestry. But Kast is very specifically a Nazi apologist. I personally don’t understand the motivation for whitewashing that.
MB Govt: Everybody is responsible for making their own informed decisions about COVID
Also MB Govt: We’re also withholding all information about COVID so nobody can make an informed decision
@stphnmaher
Honestly, it’s a total insult to the lived experience of refugees and other folks who have had to live + try to survive dictatorships and authoritarian rule to compare the inconvenience of living under a democratic government you didn’t personally vote for as being the same.
And of course: Manitoba’s vaccine cards don’t meet the requirements to be used as a vaccine passport because they don’t provide details of your vaccinations
@BrazilBrian
Honestly tho, missing the whole history military intervention in governments in South America since the revolution(s) against Spain right through to today... is just a minor detail, right?
@nationalpost
Here’s the grift: the unpaid time you use to get to and from work, apparently it’s work time. So, by extension, corp’s should be calculating vacation and overtime pay including those hours.
@hahauenstein
From an international perspective, what’s happening with Germany’s arts sector is very strange. In enough instances to be more than an isolated situation, they have taken to schooling Jewish folks on what anti-Semitism is, prohibiting their agency for self-definition. /1
@SGuillemardMLA
It’s a grave disservice to people who are actually harassed, who often experience this daily without power structures outside of their control, to suggest that democratic protest on public property is harassment.
@MaxCRoser
We live beside a country that refuses to do anything meaningful to control COVID-19. It’s like trying to prevent your neighbour’s Creeping Charlie from taking over your lawn - incredibly difficult and you cannot let down your guard for one moment.

You don’t expect this of her “regardless of her religion or ethnicity” - you expect this of her exactly because of her religion. And that is the special kind of mix of misogyny + racism that is reserved for brown and Black women in this society. She does not owe you a performance
@ianfroese
@bkives
The courageous thing would have been to apologize during the election and put a stop to them then. Apologizing now, only when she has zero to lose, is cowardly.
@AllenMankewich
I especially love the part where they had to travel to Italy to learn how to steam milk and pull shots of espresso. Seeing as nobody in Canada can do that, amirite.

Siempre me llegan comentarios así 👇 por no entender que Canadá ya es el país que Boric quiere que Chile sea. Los de la ultra derecha chilena se imaginan algo del mundo que no es por nada verdad.
I got López from the discount bin at the
@WinnipegHumane
Society in 2005, when he was eight months old. He’d been there for about 5 months. Nobody wanted him because he was born with only one eye. So I left with the dog that nobody else would take, and here we are 16 years later.
Uniformed cops at vax sites, even w/o considering the pay, are not a good idea for the same reason they shouldn’t be in schools. Their presence may actually prevent people from getting vaccinated. Come on, how does the city not know this?
Can MSM just stop it already? One of the largest mining firm in Chile is state owned - because Pinochet did not actually de-nationalize it, but instead used it to fund the military. As for “miners,” there aren’t any quoted here, just CEOs.
@ReutersPitchbot
Literally folks gloating about using their business connections to access corporate rapid tests for personal use and to KNOWINGLY cut in front of a 5-day public health line w/o being health care workers. Good for you folks. / 2
@NoLore
We’re at the stage of Canada’s Kafkaesque political space where using a correct and recognized term accurately - as NGO Amnesty International does - can get you censured and fired.
It is immoral in vaccine-deprived world for Canada to flaunt its abundance by letting its store of AZ vaccine go bad. People are literally dying to access this vaccine.
#Canada
: what a monumental and utterly immoral waste this is. We are many who had a first shot of AstraZeneca and would go yesterday to get a second one.
#CovidVaccine
But who will be the one to call out your boss or clients or advertisers here? The Stefanson government has given us all a glimpse of their vision for the future: education services to subsidize corporate recruiting and health care services to subsidize corporate privilege / 3
The Winnipeg School Division Board of Trustees has agreed to make vaccines mandatory for all staff, visitors, and eligible students who attend the WSD buildings.
People may apply for exemptions for medical and religious reasons.
This has been filling my feed. First, I acknowledge that as a Black woman politician, Gordon likely endures countless micro aggressions daily, let alone outright racism + misogyny. Having to deal with micro aggressions regularly may affect the way all other things are received /1
@bkives
Chile just elected Gabriel Boric president. I cannot tell you how that is the best news I’ve had in years, possibly decades. I regained my right to vote about 5 years ago, and I cannot tell you what it felt like to vote for him. It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before.
Look. I’m skilled at google and was able to buy rapid tests from
@masks4allCanada
+ good n95 respirators from Bureau en Gros before everything sold out. I’m fine, though my wallet is much lighter. It’s the mass public health inequity in Manitoba that has me LIT ON FIRE.
@DavidWowchuk
@acabforbooty
It’s part of the white supremacist toolbox, which is similar to other extremists who use religion as the guise to summon the violent harm of others. Imagine if folks from traditionally brown cultures or religions posted something like this?
I don’t know how much of this is by intentional design vs incompetence on the part of the right wing Piñera government, but Chilean reporters are now on the hunt for the whereabouts of buses (micros in Chilean Spanish) that are not in circulation on election day
#sueltenlasmicros
I’m now officially in pre production for my debut feature film, Intersection, and am so thrilled the amazingly talented Carmen Aguirre plays the lead role of Daniela.
Chile: The dismantling of the symbols of the new Chilean colonialism, which has worked in service of rising up the interests of Chile’s oligarchy for centuries, is perhaps an indication of a kind of Renaissance to come. Hopefully.
El derribe de estatuas específicas: O’higgins, Portales, de Valdivia, Cornelio Saavedra, José Menéndez y la de un soldado, indican que esta rebelión de estratos mediobajos (los mestizos de Salazar) tampoco es por “30 años”. Es una interpelación histórica aún más profunda >>
@SnoopyPants1990
By this definition, anybody hosting a wedding, funeral or other event and streaming it on Facebook or FaceTime is engaged in a TV production. Just because your equipment might be expensive, doesn’t change the core purpose of documentation as opposed to actual TV production.
And citizen inquiry is not insubordination. Democracy is difficult and elected officials must master dealing with all kinds of people, and so it’s not going to be the job for everyone, especially people who haven’t received professional training in how to receive criticism / 3
@BrianPallister
This better come with a race-based stats release, given we all know private snitch mechanisms are disproportionately weaponized against BIPOC people.
“It's rather odd that the premier purports to know what Indigenous leaders in Manitoba want when he hasn't even discussed the issue of vaccines, or any issues related to the pandemic, with us.”
I grew up in The Pas. After moving there, it was one whisper after another that rose up from the ground: what had happened to her, who the criminals were, who was protecting the criminals. Justice failed her, but this story could not be silenced. Osborne is never forgotten.
@DougSaunders
Look, I’m the last person to call the cops on anybody. But in between what they’re (not) doing now and how they over-police Indigenous, black and racialized communities, it’s like an ocean wide.
@bkives
She has to be the most honest health care minister. The other ones would BS about doing something when they weren’t. At least she tells you straight to your face she’s praying you survive the Conservative tenure
The next great Manitoba gaslighting will be the government insisting that MIA rapid tests are due to citizen misuse and not the fact that a rising BA2 wave is triggering more COVID cases.
