Ummm @fordnation just said in the presser that the believes he has the best education plan for the fall...then why is EVERY PARENT AND EXPERT I KNOW TERRIFIED? #presser
And now polkaroo Lecce is jumping in to say he is confident kids can return to school safely no problemo...come on guys! 🙄
yasssss @ColinDMello asking WHY they are not taking parents concerns safely re: lower class sizes and why he is not putting in the money to achieve this...Gooooood question!
Polkaroo is back dodging the question saying "there is no province by far that is spending more per capita than Ontario" ....huh? Seriously?

🧵 (1/10). When we first resumed in-person again at my Uni, I vividly remember a chat with a student who approached me after class. We had just finished a lecture on the origins of the MMR-Autism myth which then spilled over to a chat on the current covid 💉conspiracies/myths….
🧵 (2/10). He told me how his parents went down the online covid-conspiracy rabbit hole and had become “radicalized”. I remember being struck with how apt the word was to explain what had/was happening to so many folks during the pandemic.
🧵 (3/10). In my lecture, we talked about how unstable much information from the online world is today (I discussed the Trump election and the disinformation campaign out of Macedonia back in 2016) and how sadly profitable it is to outright lie & spread disinformation for clicks.

When people show you who they are, believe them (and yes, our media should be pushing him more on his well-documented and often deeply troubling takes/views yet they've largely given him a pass).
A good read by @richardwarnica 👇

Glad to see you interviewed for this, @AmarAmarasingam.

👇🏻 If you still follow him, you need to do some self-reflection. He’s not the only covid “influencer” who came out of nowhere and demonstrated a clear pattern of incredibly toxic, often abusive behaviour. There are others still here with large platforms doing daily damage, too.
A rising number of online 🦠 “influencers” (speaking broadly here as a general type) have learned that displaying a rage-farming, polarizing presence gets them likes/followers (which is a sad indictment on our society, fyi) so pay attention when you see this behaviour & avoid it.
Remember, there is a big difference between punching up and going after structural power versus vindictively attacking random individuals and trying to ruin their reputations when your bad behaviour is called out (I see this often from such personality types).

I vividly remember being out one night about 15 yrs ago for a high school reunion of sorts & we were chatting about something I was fighting for at the time (because yes, I've always been this way lol) and I will never forget what one of the girls said to me.....
I had just finished chatting about a cause and she very casually said to me (having no realization how much this was to mean to me): "If I ever have a daughter, I want her to be like you. You're kind & care so much about people but you're tough, and you don't take💩 from anyone".
I never forgot that moment. I probably never will. Heck, she doesn't even realize how much that casual comment meant to me. I share this because I know speaking the truth (especially to power) doesn't always win you favour/friends and it can be very scary to do so...but you must.

🧵1/5. Because I studied this in my PhD., I shall expand on this for anyone who has yet to see the clear pattern here. This is all the result of the ONGOING REFUSAL TO ENUMARATE WOMEN'S WORK.

You all see that, right?
2/5
LTC. same problem.
NURSING. same problem.
CHILDCARE. same problem.

ALL OF THESE JOBS INVOLVE REPRODUCTIVE LABOUR THAT WAS ONCE CARRIED OUT FOR FREE, IN PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS BY WOMEN (when we weren't granted the ability to compete in the paid labour market).
3/5. All of these shortages we're seeing right now = the result of governments & private business refusing to provide safe working conditions & decent pay to work that is overrepresented by WOMEN.

This IS a women's issue. Inherently.

🧵So I've spoken to the family discussed in this post and it's worth explaining the terrible end of life predicaments some #LTC families are dealing with.

So this sweet resident was sent to ER with a life-threatening condition that was deemed palliative by attending hospital MD.
The family, who have had TERRIBLE experiences with their #ForProfit #LTC do not want their loved one to be sent back to that LTC to die in more neglect (obviously). They want them in a hospital, preferably in a palliative care wing where they can have better care provisioning.
Even the attending MD agreed. However, the 90+ year old #LTC resident (now hospital patient) has lived past the period the hospital staff thought he would (but he is still palliative, to be sure). Yet, this week's attending MD disagrees w/ initial MD for palliative placement.
