🧐DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

“it’s a deadly disease!”

“But the survival rate is like 99.96% if you’re below average life expectancy”

“Well it’s all about hospitalizations and our hospital system being overrun”

“Ok but after locking down, it turns out to not have been that bad”
“It’s cases; it’s all about cases”

“In most places in Canada, at the worst points, about half of a percent of people had it at any one time. It’s mainly been even less than that”

“Did you hear about that guy in his 40s in hospital for a month? Even young people are at risk”
“The odds of that happening is less than that same guy having been hospitalized for that long as a result of a car crash”

“Long COVID?”

“There’s no real evidence of that”

“Well look at that; the third wave is straining our hospitals again”
“Uh, it’s not as bad as it was in the second wave and even then, we weren’t over capacity”

“We need to stay locked down to prevent spread until everyone is vaccinated”

“But other places that were less vaxed than we are, dropped restrictions and the spread didn’t increase”.
“Delta variant!?”

“I would address why you’re overreacting about that, but I get the feeling it’s not going to matter.”

WHEN THEY SAY FOLLOW THE SCIENCE/DATA, THEY ONLY MEAN THE SCIENCE/DATA THAT SCARES THEM. 🤨

It does not appear that @MaximeBernier was informed of his full rights to counsel “immediately” as required by the Supreme Court in R. v. Suberu. In addition to challenging every other horrifying aspect of this case, @JCCFCanada should raise this as well. [Thread continues]
Full, technical compliance with the law would have seen the arresting officer read the rights where the cuffing first took place. But even once back at the cruiser, there’s a conversation and no officer pulls out a card to read the full rights; Bernier then enters the cruiser.
It is not okay for the police to wait until some other point — even a couple minutes later — because ‘right to counsel’ is *that* important, and no aspect of it may be delayed. It’s right there in section 10(b) of the Charter. But this is a “systemic problem” in many places in 🇨🇦

💡 Have a No Mask Weekend ✅

I just went to a grocery store & once inside I took my mask off. Nobody said a word. In fact one woman saw me & took off hers.

If I had been asked, I would have politely said “exemption” & declined to discuss it.

I encourage everyone to try this.
Obviously if you’re feeling ill, I am not suggesting you do this nor am I suggesting that you say you have an exemption if you don’t. But if you’re permitted to remove your mask and can do it safely I say go for it.
Also, how you give effect to this tweet depends on local laws, where you’re doing it, what exemptions exist etc. Please seek legal advice if you aren’t sure of the ramifications and/or if you wish to be a bona fide test case. None of these tweets are legal advice.
