Will be watching for the @City_of_Vaughan & @mbmayor to produce a cogent explanation for the abrupt cancellation of two Caribbean events, which had permits in place, that somehow doesn't violate @OntHumanRights. Clock is ticking. #carnivalkingdom #onpoli
Just a reminder folks, you're allowed to have an amplified music event at the base of condos in the @City_of_Vaughan but something tells me the attendees might have been different than those at #carnivalkingdom



@OntHumanRights @socaprince
@DesmondCole
So I'm submitting a revised version of the FOI request in light of some of the info that has trickled out. Given prior comment from a Councillor on the nature of performers at a Caribbean event & concerns of process here, I'm hoping @City_of_Vaughan is forthcoming with the info.
As such, the previous post and likely resulting thread will be deleted. Will post info as I receive it from the City.

It seems Air Canada has managed to convince the federal government to employ rapid testing as an opt out of quarantine on the basis of preliminary results from a massively flawed study.

Seems like a bad idea. @BillBlair @marcomendicino @celliottability @IrfanDhalla

First, Australia and New Zealand remain the gold standards for the “Western world” in regards to COVID response. Both had mandatory hotel (not home w/relatives) quarantine at port of arrival, before going anywhere, mandatory testing AND drastically reduced int’l flights. 2/n
Australia diverted ALL international flights out of Victoria when Melbourne’s numbers skyrocketed in 2nd wave and cut total international arrivals by 40% concurrent with other restrictions. This is what happened after. 3/n

Cannot emphasize this enough. Our wait times were often terrible before the pandemic, anyone can review the data here:

hqontario.ca/System-Perform…

The wave 1 shutdown was an added burden in a system with heavily rationed OR availability to surgeons. #covidontario #waittimes 1/n
As noted in the editorial, “elective” is often a misnomer. I saw a neighbour go from walking dogs kilometres at when referred to ortho for a joint replacement to essentially immobile by the time of surgery nearly 2 years later. This is in the GTA. Haven’t seen him out since. 2/n
The BC Supreme Court in the Day case acknowledged that Charter rights to security of person can be infringed when health worsens due to wait list delays. So what is an “elective surgery”? 3/n

Somehow nobody is talking about acute bed capacity.

Unlike the first wave, Ottaw public health is now reporting 100% of acute beds occupied despite only 14 COVID admissions. Image
Peel public health is reporting 92% acute beds full and 82% of ICU beds full Image
Toronto public health is doing a bit better at 89% acute bed occupancy and “only” 60% of ICU capacity full. Image

Anybody trumpeting their Cambie decision as some sort of victory needs to read this.

“ I have also found...provisions have the effect of limiting the right to security of the person individuals who are suffering from degenerative/deteriorating conditions and waiting for... Image
...elective surgery in the public system beyond their wait time benchmarks associated with their diagnostic priority codes, even though the patients are available for surgery...
Specifically, some of these patients will experience prolonging and exacerbation of pain and diminished functionality as well as increased risk of not gaining full benefit from surgery.

Disappointed to see the continued racist depictions of BIPOC victims of crime in the mainstream Canadian media after @CTVToronto @CP24 and @CBCNews used a mugshot in stories of a murder victim in Toronto meanwhile this is how white suspects of murder were depicted last year. ImageImage
Yet this is how someone who killed a cyclist while driving impaired is depicted after allegedly violating parole while speeding up a major highway impaired again. Has anyone seen Marco Muzzo’s mugshot? ImageImage
Here’s CP24’s depiction of a smiling serial killer Bruce McArthur.

The author of this piece is listed as the author of the (now edited) Mohamed Sow piece linked from the @CP24 tweet:

While Canada continues to import cases via the dozens of international arrivals daily, perhaps if we’re lucky by October the CBSA will catch onto the whole asymptomatic/presymptomatic thing.

Take the UP express, subway then 3 buses, what could go wrong?
The CBSA website and actions in relation to travellers arriving from out of Canada by air is a joke compared to what can be found in New Zealand.

Canada: “Please answer these honestly then be on your way”

NZ: mandatory direct managed isolation/quarantine AND COVID test 4 all.
health.govt.nz/our-work/disea…

The transparency and data release is foreign to what we could expect here.

Yes, NZ is a small country. It’s also done this better than pretty much any other country in the world.

@Travisdhanraj here’s something to ask about at those pressers! ImageImage
