The last 6 words should be the tip of the arrow head that pierces the cold hearts of politicians!
“These 500 tragedies are independent of the total number of children who contracted the virus. COVID would not be a worse disease if only 1,000 children contracted it, but 50% died. Either way, 500 children are dead. As Dr. Walensky said, “Children are not supposed to die”.

Great article on how cognitive illusions are used to manipulate our perception of harm. — “The fallacy of minimizing one harm by pointing out a more severe harm is called the fallacy of relative privation, it has been commonly employed to minimize how COVID has harmed children.”

My heart is full knowing that these wonderful young people still hold high on their values list physical education and activity. I promise to work harder and smarter to honour their values when we get back to normal #GetVaccinatedASAP

I believe it was Douglas Adam’s who’s said, “Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” @jordanbpeterson would make a fantastic advisor!!!
In part because I don't have the emotional resilience necessary to tolerate the endless cruel criticism...

I’ll take. “Things that make you go hmmm for a thousand Alex”
Well folks; A friend of mine working on the rigs lost his job and with his high school education has found it impossible to find another job that pays over 100,000 per year. He had to sell his quad & snowmobile. Clearly this is the evil SoCiALisTs plot/plan. #KenneyStoryTime

Look under the byline: August 2018. Completely out of context. If you believe that I’ll show you some 1937 adverts that show that smoking is good for you. Relevancy. Science is always admitting that being wrong (admitting it) is part of the path to being right!

I believe our provincial government should be required to wear uniforms... like NASCAR with all those sponsor patches. That way we would know who was pulling their strings.

A possible positive... beyond saving lives from a deadly virus, could it be possible that MASKS would reduce the number of SMOKERS? Therefore saving more lives?

THIS is what I needed to see a while ago. A genuine thank you... now I have better words to defend “BLM”. (We need to keep in mind that behind this young lady are parents that created the impetus for positive change)

First @Marotomichelle thanks for your efforts to put this data together. I believe that this information would be valuable as a talking point for @RachelNotley. My conversations will now be a bit more colourful armed with salient tipping points such as this! Wow!
I was curious about differences in doctors' pay across the country, so I graphed some data from the 2016 Census to see how provinces differed in median pay for specialists and general practitioners. #ableg #abpoli @Albertadoctors

Literally life and death. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is what separates the stupid from the wise!
It’s sad that Bill Nye the guy my 5th grade teacher made us watch is still having to teach GROWN ADULTS to wear a mask
