Scenes from downtown Toronto and Queen's Park #FreedomConvoyCanada2022 right now. Indigenous drumming, some First Nations flags and people enjoying themselves with lots of music/partying.
The Winnipeg Police press conference on last night's hit and run targetting #FreedomConvoyCanada2022 protestors has begun.
Will be live-tweeting here.
Constable Rob Carver says at 9:10 PM collision took place.
Jeep fled West and police apprehended lone male suspect about an hour later. 4 victims treated in hospital.
Suspects name not being released but facing multiple charges. Motivation unclear. Constable says that comments were made about the accused but not specifically about mandates.
PHAC is not being truthful when they say that the data tracking of 33 million mobile devices respects privacy
They claim to have tracked "cell tower location." Except knowing the location of cell towers is a very short step away from locating individuals cdt.org/insights/locat…
A cell-tower dump request to an ISP will include identifiable information of all cell phones/devices in a given area such as signal strength and the type of device. The movement of devices between cell tower ranges is also a dead giveaway of individual location.
Remember, PHAC has not specifically elaborated on what data metrics they collected. In their statement, they claim to have "collected and used mobility data SUCH AS cell tower location."
Key point: cell tower location is only one example of the data they are citing.
EXCLUSIVE: The @TorontoStar and the @globeandmail published multiple op-eds discussing vaccine mandates and research funding by U of T professor Mark Lautens without disclosing that he's received funding from AstraZeneca. @TrueNorthCentre
@TorontoStar@globeandmail@TrueNorthCentre Lautens has not hidden his financial relationship with the COVID-19 vax manufacturer as it appears on his public CV and in a tweet where he thanked the company for their support.
Meanwhile, the outlets only referred to him by his other title "J.B. Jones Professor of Chemistry."
@TorontoStar@globeandmail@TrueNorthCentre In one @globeandmail op-ed Lautens describes mandatory vaccination for post-secondary students in residence as an "awfully low bar." Elsewhere, he discourages "vaccine shopping" and names the company directly without revealing his ties.
In 2020 the Ottawa Carleton District School Board did a survey on identity and its methodology relied on a book on "critical race theory of statistics."
In the survey, they claimed that numbers were "not neutral" and "serve white racial interests."
All you have to do is look and realize that CRT is everywhere in Canadian schools.
Earlier this year, the Peel District School Board recommended a curriculum on professional learning for senior staff that was "rooted in critical race theory."
Not sure if this has been shared yet but the BC Human Rights tribunal released its full decision on the Jessica Yaniv publication ban online. @goinglikeelsie@preta_6
Some interesting things to note- Yaniv's tactic to get her mother to take responsibility for writing her nastier tweets during a cross-examination failed.
One of the tweets in question is reference in reason #8 potentially giving some substance to the claim that Yaniv has a bias towards minorities.
