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.
