@ArticulateDinos @picardonhealth @NSNDP @globalnews I'm going to respond to this tweet with an explanatory thread because both @kat_toth and @picardonhealth "liked" it, which I think implies agreement, and I respect them both but think they couldn't have this more wrong, so here goes...
@ArticulateDinos @picardonhealth @NSNDP @globalnews @kat_toth First, what I have to say below does not mean I necessarily agree with government policy on vaccines. I'm agnostic about it, to be honest. 1/
@ArticulateDinos @picardonhealth @NSNDP @globalnews @kat_toth And debates about policy are healthy. The government and Strang *should* be challenged, and have to defend their policies. That's what democracy is all about. We have far too much paternalism in Canadian government 2/

I am not a parent. Never had kids. But these ever-changing COVID briefing times are giving me insight into how common work practices adversely affect parents, especially women parents. /thread
Although not a parent, my life is arranged in such a way that I do often have child care duties. I love this! It's good stuff, makes my life richer. Best of all: I get to the send the child home after a while, and so my responsibility is limited.
So, tomorrow I have child care duties at 3:15. And the briefing is scheduled for 1pm. No problem! I'll go to One Government for 1pm, it'll be over by 2 or so, and I'll take the bus and be home in plenty of time. Except....
