Anyone-else think the CPC interim leader sank to a new low today when she falsely claimed the fed NDP and fed governing Liberal party of "working for Putin" because of their new confidence-and-supply agreement?
1/ There's a @nationalpost article that's receiving a lot of ire because it amplifies two extreme right-wing European MPs' responses to PM Trudeau's speech in Brussels. I read the article and see how the headline does not match the content.
2/ The headline refers to the PM's speech as "surreal" and just says "European MPs denounce" - so I can see why it's getting attn. But I do think it would help to read the article. The two right-wing MPs' responses had gone viral, so this IS news. The article provides context.
3/ From the article: "Kolakusic, a Croatian lawyer, sits in parliament as an Independent. In January, he lambasted French President Emmanuel Macron over vaccines when he was before the EU. In that exchange, Kolakusic compared vaccine mandates to capital punishment."
1/ Thread:
Info on Cdn major religions’ stances on Covid-19 vaccinations, article(s) and a tweet for each major religion, put together to counter the anti-vaxxer’s talking point/excuse of avoiding Covid-19 vaccinations on religious grounds.
2/ Before adding tweets to this thread, per religion, here is a graphic with the distribution of religious affiliations, population aged 15 and older, Canada, 2017 to 2019 Statistics Canada www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-627-…
3/ On ingredients:
(Abbrev) “[S]ome religions prohibit the use of certain byproducts like beef, pork or stem cells [but] none of those ingredients are proven to be included in any of the COVID-19 vaccines.” globalnews.ca/news/8251956/c…
1/ Here’s a (short) thread linking tweets and articles with some useful info related to the Calgary municipal election, Oct 18, 2021 – specifically re mayoral candidates:
2/ I'm listening to a presser on @CBCNews right now. Chyron: "Members of big city mayors' caucus speak before meeting PM Trudeau today in Ottawa."
This reminds me of how important it is that we vote for our choice of mayor, as they advocate for Calgary to the feds.
- really don't think I should have to get a booster, simply bec I mixed my doses: AZ & Pfizer, holding off for now. Many of us received the AZ, in a way to protect our communities, & cannot see anything wrong w mixed dosing. Why is the US unsure about this?
ref (abbrev) "The U.S. is also awaiting guidance from the CDC about travellers who received mixed doses of COVID-19 vaccines or the AZ vaccine. The U.S. has not approved the mixing of vaccine doses or the AstraZeneca vaccine for its own residents." cbc.ca/news/canada/us…
3/ that said (see my top tweet), we have no plans to travel to the US anytime soon. They are struggling more with containing Covid-19 - less vaccinated, higher case counts, especially the states we would be driving through to get elsewhere: Montana and/or Idaho
- reminder that the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a member of the Atlas Network. Koch has been known to fund the global "Atlas Network" which includes Canada Strong & Free Network
2/ - and if you plug in the word Koch in the Atlas Network website search box, it returns 27 results, with top reference to a Koch Internship Program in 2019 atlasnetwork.org/partners
