1. I seem to have a weird compulsion to tweet today even though I know this platform is a chaotic place to focus or entrust my energy. But I have a story I’ve carried since last September and I’m ready to share it.
2. Deep breath. This story has to do with the bizarre, chaotic experience of moving to colonial occupied Ottawa as a Red River Métis person lovingly raised by my settler Mom+Métis dad in Edmonton, along the North Saskatchewan River my dad’s family is tied to they many generations
3. When I moved to #YOW in late June 2015, I was excited for what this experience would bring. I’d only visited the nation’s ‘capital’ once, as an Army Cadet selected for an Outward Bound Wales exchange in 2000. We spent one day in the city at a luncheon, & hiked in Gatineau Park
Dear Westjetters, I join you in the frustration of being sidelined by @WestJet led by the failed leadership of @AHoensbroech and will proactively use my cancelled time not to grieve missing Christmas, but to analyze data on their failures to deliver while other airlines could. 🧵
2/ Today is a good day to analyze incoming data about flights because @WestJet "proactively cancelled" them due to #ONStorm. globalnews.ca/news/9369443/w…
3/ I'm more convinced it was because of resource management failure & I'll track flights coming out of #YYC (their hub) to these destinations to see it in comparison to other airlines like @AirCanada @FlairAirlines @Lynx_Air and @SunwingVacay. Something you should do too @CTA_gc
🇨🇦 It should be pretty easy to prove the American-registered ISR aircraft conducting surveillance over Ottawa in late January and early February was not related to the convoy. A course plan? Any documentation re: booking the training?

#N330TT appears out of nowhere over Metcalf at 3000ft, lands at #YOW; it made it that far without being detected by open source flight trackers. That's suspicious; private aircraft can't do that.
We know now it's a spook plane, not just private.

First day of debate in the Senate on the Emergencies Act begins now. You can live stream the debate at the link below. #SenCa #cdnpoli
Normally, we would begin with Senate statements and question period. Today, we begin without the usual preambles, and jump straight into debate on the Emergencies Act. Senate Marc Gold, the government representative in the Senate, begins the debate. #SenCa #cdnpoli
Senator Gold is a constitutional lawyer and a constitutional law professor at McGill University. As government representative, he is granted unlimited speaking time - as is Don Plett, the leader of the opposition. The other "group" leaders will be allowed 45 minutes.
🧵Checked in w/ some friends living in downtown Ottawa. This is what #TruckersConvoy2022 hath wrought:
1) human feces deposited on porches & steps of homes with 🏳️🌈 flags, signage supporting social justice & belonging to racialized people ...

2) infants & toddlers cannot nap or sleep due to horn blasts (to say nothing of parents). Small kids can't go out for walks because they are terrified of the noise. Parents worried about permanent hearing damage...
3) Random eggings occurring on residential streets courtesy of bored, drunk truckers in the middle of the night...
1/There's a lot of chatter about the safety of schools opening.
Here's a thread on why I think it's safe.
Decreasing #COVID19 cases despite schools being open throughout the country.

3/Children, specifically those under 10, do not seem to be a major vector of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission

🇨🇦 Follow me down a parachute training plane rabbit hole, filled with speculation and discovery!
I find the planes used by the Canadian Forces to conduct parachute training extremely interesting (I'm sure some wish I didn't), because they're 🇺🇸 planes; usually call sign #CFC0300

Well, today there's a chunky bird flying over Arnprior, and it looks like it's been doing the same dance of the bumblebee that the Canadian Forces would normally do during training; but not the right callsign. Not deterred, I wondered if they forgot (or intentionally) skipped it.
It could also be a civilian parachuting company, who brought up a plane from the United States...? I really don't know, maybe they're awfully busy. Maybe business is really good, for fall skydiving in Arnprior, during a pandemic?
I was asked by FB friends to share this post - thoughts on #covid19Canada from #IPAC and #frontlinemom. Breaking it down into a thread, recognizing the challenge to be timely and relevant (and brief?!) in this changing period... 1/n
There remains one constant guiding principle = WASH YOUR HANDS. My favourite message from impressive BC public health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry: "wash your hands like you just cut up a bunch of jalapeños and need to take your contacts out." Yes, yes, protect your eyeballs! (2/n)
