Dear Canada. Zoom out and recognize that this so-called "Freedom Convoy," destabilizing our democratic discourse, is occurring as Putin jockeys to keep Ukraine from NATO, threatening war in Europe. Our PM @JustinTrudeau is the most trusted global leader, w the trust of G7 leaders
Note that the tactics of this "protest" movement is exactly the same as the Russian-funded attacks on the US democracy, with bots, cyber-disinformation, anti-vax white supremacist extremists enflamed & mobilized against the informed & moderate majority.
Keep in mind that what Putin wants is control of the pipeline that goes THRU Ukraine, and that oil is Russia's biggest export. Trudeau, with his steady diplomatic skills, plays an important role unifying nations against Putin's thuggery.
If you are still in doubt, note that Trump, Fox News, and a full array of anti-democratic MAGA-T supporters are all attacking Trudeau, all braying in support of these "so-called truckers." Why? Why, indeed. Know your friends by their enemies.

It is well after 11AM. Where is @fordnation? @Sflecce? @celliottability? What a buncha losers.
Twenty-three minutes late. “ExpoDENtially.”
So teachers get TWO days notice to switch to Online teaching. Classy.

Everything this clown is saying & doing would have been GREAT six weeks ago.

Also @celliottability looks like crap. Like maybe she’s cluing in that we will NEVER forget her shameful role in this travesty.

The unvaccinated I know IRL are women 40-65 who use organic herbal remedies, oil of oregano, tea tree, spirulina, Angel Cards & magic mushrooms. They believe Covid is real, mask with no complaints, but won’t vax because ‘Big Pharma.’ I’m exhausted trying to sway them. #GetVaxxed
These are women who KNOW they were mis-dosed bc drug test subjects didn't include women, who took birth control pills WILDY too strong. We got bloated, nauseas, then were told it was just us. Their mistrust is not unearned. Big Pharma has betrayed them down in the past.
But holy Mother of all the Sweet Goddesses in the world, I can't believe after almost two years of this pandemic, they can't see that these vaccinations work, that it's a medicine that can bring us all to safety. I'm scared shitless for them. It's breaking my heart.

@MisterJohnDoyle Dear sir, as an Asian Canadian woman, a Korean-Canadian woman w more experience and knowledge of the world of my characters, the lack of Asian female, especially Korean writers in the writers room of Kims made my life VERY DIFFICULT & the experience of working on the show painful
@MisterJohnDoyle Your attack on my cast mate @SimuLiu, in the defense of my fellow Korean artist Ins Choi is neither helpful nor merited. Mr. Choi wrote the play, I was in in. He created the TV show, but his co-creator Mr. Kevin White was the showrunner, and clearly set the parameters.
@MisterJohnDoyle @SimuLiu This is a FACT that was concealed from us as a cast. It was evident from Mr. Choi's diminished presence on set, or in response to script questions. Between S4 and S5, this FACT became a crisis, and in S5 we were told Mr. Choi was resuming control of the show.

About four years ago, I had an argument with the son of a friend. "There no racism against Asians!" he proclaimed. I was gobsmacked. This young man, this white young man 40 years my junior, was telling me, an Asian woman, Anti-Asian Racism doesn't exist. I'm sick of gaslighting.
I regret that @KimsConvenience didn't address Anti-Asian racism in its everyday manifestations on a more regular basis. We had a few stories - Janet's art teacher, Jung buying shoes - in early seasons. I wish we could have shown more real life stories of what it's like.
Generally, we, Asians, don't like to take up space talking about the discrimination, the putdowns, the exclusion we deal with on a daily basis, the strategies we've learned to get by. Others have it worse. But damn it, it's real. Today with the massacre in GA, it cannot be denied

Dear Ontario, Doug Ford, Dr. M. Fullerton, Christine Elliot and Stephen Lecce have all failed us. They all chose to shortchange our 2nd wave Covid response. They failed to invest $$$ into a safe school opening, defying medical advice & best practices. 1/6
With school reopening, they did a cost-benefit analysis; and saving lives and stopping Covid DID NOT prevail over saving a few bucks. Similarly, they failed our seniors in LTCs. They passed legislation to protect private LTCs from litigation, rather than save lives. 2/6
Ford & friends opened bars, casinos, strip clubs & indoor dining too early, against medical advice.They ignored data, stood by idly as the virus spread exponentially thru the fall. They took half-measures, and tried to distract us w cheese cake. But now there's a new variant.3/6

I want to see him LEAVE.
Ahhh!!! Finally! He’s out the door!
The "crowd" at Andrew's airforce base is pathetic.
The cannons, the band, it's all TACKY...

Melania looks... happy?
