What.
The.
Actual.

The person in charge of Canada's Office of Border and Travel Health has been doing international travel during the pandemic on her side gig as an "influencer" theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…
Putting aside THE PANDEMIC, why is a senior civil servant accepting FREE TRIPS from ANYONE???
Also not for nothing but @AirCanada can't provide refunds in a timely manner but can give out free trips apparently
Hahahahaha of course

I don't talk about this much and probably won't again, but I have a loved one who has slowly but surely been sucked into the ecosystem of beliefs that fueled today's events. It is a loss already, and I wonder how the loved ones of the person killed today are feeling.
You hope they'll come back from it. You try talking to them. You try engaging with the meda and videos and papers they share. You try refusing to talk to them. You try setting out basic parameters around what you will and won't talk about. You try to agree to disagree.
You try finding areas you agree on. You try finding basic ideas you agree on. You try refusing to talk to them again. You try avoiding the topic altogether and focusing on niceties, the weather and sports.

The Rebel's man in Washington ImageImageImageImage
In appealing to new members, Bexte laments the fact he is from Canada so I guess patriotism is no longer a thing for the Rebel? Image

Nepotism is not great overall but I guess I don't really understand what the point is of having a list of every journalist who is related to some other journalist?
And I guess also I am not sure you can say "it is just a list" because, well, you are publishing it and that implies there is some sort of point? Idk.
And I mean I am saying this as someone who didn't know anyone in journalism starting out but I would probably be more interested in finding out which schools everyone went to or something like that because from the outside that seems to be far more of a pervasive clique

OK a lot of COVID-19 stuff has been happening today in Northern B.C. so here's my best attempt at gathering it into a single thread. #cityofPG #bcpoli
First the big news: a rapid-response team is in Fort St. James, two hours away from Prince George, as there is a major cluster of cases there. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
This morning, BC Emergency Health Services said they'd been told 60 active cases in the community. I was told that number was accurate by a health care person in the community. But as of this afternoon, Northern Health says the active case count is approx. 40 active in Omineca

1 in 25 people have COVID-19 in a small, rural community. Did residents get a warning from health officials? No, because that would violate "privacy". Instead they find out when an emergency team is deployed because local paramedics are overwhelmed #bcpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
Literally since the beginning of this pandemic local officials and First Nations have been pleading with the B.C. government to release more local health data in line with what people get in nearly every other province in Canada. There has been an outright refusal to do. Now this
I said this yesterday but you have to understand: Health officials would have seen case counts rising in Fort St. James. They would have seen it go from 1 in 50 people to 1 in 30 to 1 in 25 and still, nobody thought that the people who live there had a right to know #bcpoli

"With 60 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in a community of roughly 1,500, BC Emergency Health Services has deployed a Major Incident Rapid Response Team to Fort St. James Wednesday, Dec. 9.

"This is the first time the team has been deployed, a BC EHS spokesperson said."

This was publicly posted by a doctor in Fort St James yesterday
The Nak'azdli Whut'en First Nation says they are now in 'shut down mode' given the high case counts in the Fort St. James area. A special emergency response team has been deployed to the community to help deal with COVID-19. #COVID19BC
