6/ a Q from Global for Dr Hinshaw about no. of outbreaks being high in Day Cares. Dr says they're looking for patterns or trends that indicate add'l measures needed. Mentions variants.
- isn't AHS simply doing sample testing for variants? Wouldn't more testing for variants help?
7/ another good source, good 'follow' (IMHO) is @BarbLarochelle
8/ - all of this talk about urban v rural, would've been unnecessary if health officials, Health Min Shandro & premier Kenney, hadn't articulated a belief that Covid-19 was a regional prob, refusing to mandate province-wide measures, until pressured into it.
9/ another good follow, for Alberta politics and Covid-19 news is @CGriwkowsky
I'm not going to link to it, but will comment that the recent post by the CPC "leader" about Chrystia Freeland, shows a complete lack of class or sign of leadership potential. So glad that he isn't "leading" Canada as PM Poilievre right now.
2/ Not only is Mr Poilievre being petty, but he attributes motive when he cannot know this. Ms Freeland leaves her cabinet post, but remains as an MP - unknown for how long but won't run again. She is to serve as Canada’s Special Representative for the Reconstruction of Ukraine.
Am I letting my partisanship colour the way PP sounds? To me, the way that Poilievre says (as though an aside) "for a change," after saying he puts "Canada first," sounds like when I complain to my husband "thanks for listening, for a change." It's passive aggressive.
2/ I mean, I don't quip "for a change" very often (we have a good marriage), but when I do (usually under my breath) it's when I'm feeling frustrated. It's the kind of thing someone says who is trying to pick a fight or keep one going.
3/ Trying to pick a fight within Canada, is the wrong stance right now. I much prefer Carney's "unity" message.
Poilievre is spending all his time being extremely negative, saying everything that he thinks is wrong with Mark Carney and Sean Fraser - using hyperbole and twisting the facts to create a (false) narrative. His negativity is so off-putting. #Election2025
2/
I sure hope no-one falls for Poilievre's gross accusations and attempt to redirect the attn on him. Asked about the Globe and Mail's story, his answer is DISGUSTING - PP is trying to connect two DISPARATE things, Beijing murders and PMMC's former LEGIT business in China.
3/ Here's the Globe and Mail article (it's a gift link so anyone can read this, but please consider subscribing if you aren't already)
Chyrons on CBCNN: Carney's smaller cabinet will reflect his laser focus on the U.S. tariff threat and economy. Mark Carney will be mostly made up of ministers who have already been ministers in the past. Mark Carney expected to visit London and Paris next week, first trip as PM.
2/ @gmacofglebe "People are worried about economy. When Cdns see that the govt is being run by a cabinet that's smaller and tighter, they going to like that," (paraphrased).
@gmacofglebe 3/
@CharelleEvelyn will be looking for whether there will be virtue signalling like what was known from Trudeau's picks (my summary, not quoting).
