Today, I heard strangely high number of folks tell me that "it's just time to get back to normal. COVID is done. We need to get back to our lives."
When they say comments like this- it's as though the 2.9million Canadians that have had COVID in LESS THAN TWO YEARS means nothing. (And we know it's likely more than that given our current lack-of-testing strategy.)
When they minimize the effect of COVID, it's as though the 32,413 Canadians that lost their lives to COVID is insignificant. And the numerous families who couldn't say good bye or grieve is just "unfortunate."
So millions of $$ has been raised & a cross-Canada truck convoy organized to protest supply shortages that haven't even happened. And yet we are understaffed in hospitals & schools everywhere. Where were these truckers for HCWs & teachers during 5 waves of #COVID19? 1/5
Where were the GoFundMes to raise money for masks & rapid tests for teachers? Where were the truck convoys to support nurses, doctors & HCWs being strained to their limits across the country?
These aren't #TruckersForFreedom

This isn't #FreedomConvoy2022
This is #WeDidntGiveAShitUntil2022 about anyone else.
So don't tell me this protest is for the public good or our groceries.
Don't you dare say it's about rights & freedoms
Because if it was, you would have showed up a long time ago
