At today's rally, my daughter, Jane Hanwell, was pleased to debut the first @CorsIAQ- @JimRosenthal4 Box costume we've ever seen! She knows #CleanAir helps keep her and her teachers, classmates, bus drivers, & community healthy! #CRBox #CorsiRosenthalBoxCostume #CRboxCostume
Kids today, change makers tomorrow! They’re well aware of clean air's importance for their health, well-being & their education. They understand the need for protecting hospitals & public healthcare. Their voices matter, and we're here to advocate with & for them. Way to go!
One of Murray Sinclair's teachings that I've tried to centre in my work, is to put truth before reconciliation and do the hard work to show that residential school denialists are wrong. So, since denialists are trying to misrepresent his legacy, here's how they get it wrong👇🧵
And to make matters worse, testing is still limited. Workers only are tested if they have a reported “high risk exposure.” Tests are not offered to every worker on an infected farm. They don’t even test every cow. It’s an approach to outbreak control that is doomed to fail.
No transparency in BC. Also full on “wash your hands” against airborne viruses. No masking in healthcare. BC PHO is an optimist and has failed to apply the precautionary principle with SARS and SARS-CoV-2. It does not bode well for it to be applied against HPAI.
Important to follow this case closely. Hospitalized teenager is a serious outcome. Hope Canada is fast & fully transparent w/ data & epi details. Anxiously awaiting confirmation data. Esp on virus sequence & antiviral drug susceptibility. #H5N1 continues to spread - prepare!

There are two ways to donate to provide eSIMs for people in G@za 1. Donate money to Crips for eSIMs for G@za: See first tweet. 2. Buy and donate eSIMs directly to @Connectinghu_ There’s even a Nov 18th workshop by @Workshops4Gaza on how to send eSIMs: workshops4gaza.com/calendar/how-t…
The data is clear. Covid is still causing death, illness & disruption. It’s been nearly 5 YEARS. We can’t build immunity to a constantly mutating SARS virus. Authorities need to swallow their pride, admit defeat & fight back against Covid. We can’t live like this. Literally.
Staff Absences and Covid Patients in Hospital together on the same graph. Why are the media and governments ignoring this? Why are they lying that covid is over? Why are they pretending it's not a problem? Why?

It’s why @ONSchoolSafety is pushing for clean air in schools and school buses. Clean air is a human right. It is more than reasonable to expect it in places we inhabit the most.
"They would tell us if it was bad". Sorry - have you watched any of the Covid Inquiry?
“Which of us sitting in this hall would willingly submit to the indignity that Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have been subjected to for decades?” To my govt officials/rep: Canada must do better by Palestinians, @JustinTrudeau @melaniejoly @MelissaLantsman Do better.
Award-winning author Arundhati Roy strongly criticised the US and Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza and Lebanon in her acceptance speech for the PEN Pinter Prize at a ceremony in London earlier this month
“20,000 missing children in Gaza — some maimed beyond recognition. On top of the 17,000 killed in 12 months. We call it genocide because it is genocide.” —UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese
This is all particularly interesting because broad masking requirements in hospitals were introduced following the advent of COVID. But now we ignore the year-round burden of COVID and tend to require masks only during the "cold and flu season".
"The kids are not alright."
Peds resp admissions were largely BELOW prepandemic historical rates ‘til mid Mar 2022 when mask mandates ended (⬇️ in pic). Since then, peds rates have largely been above prepandemic rates. The 2y rolling avg (since Aug 20/24) offers false assurances. The kids are not alright.
To all the hospitals bringing back mask mandates in response to COVID outbreaks - thank you for doing the right thing but can we consider being proactive and not reactive? If you keep mandates year round - the outbreaks won’t happen! Patients deserve care - not covid.
