Lich testifies she was surprised about the notice to leave because she thought it was a peaceful protest. Come on! So, children being delayed with their cancer treatments is peaceful? Businesses having to close due to customers being harassed is peaceful? #EmergenciesActInquiry

"Hospital spokesperson Paddy Moore said CHEO knew of two families whose travel for cancer therapy was recently and significantly affected by traffic conditions resulting from the protest" cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
4/ (Ref, abbrev) "13 families w/children fighting cancer had their chemo appts either delayed or rescheduled as a direct result of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa, the Children’s Hosp of Eastern Ont (CHEO) confirmed to Global News." globalnews.ca/news/9209533/f….
5/ (Ref) "Harassed for wearing a mask and nearly run down by a truck: Ottawa residents relive trucker convoy protest" ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…
11/ I keep getting responses in my mentions from convoy supporters who falsely claim the businesses were closed because of Covid mandates. They have been brainwashed by their leaders - politicians and convoy organizers (and those funding both). Fact-check globalnews.ca/news/8583758/t…
12/ (From article above)
"The ongoing protest of truckers and others against government vaccine mandates continues to disrupt Ottawa’s downtown core, forcing some businesses who were gearing up to reopen from Ontario’s COVID-19 lockdown on Monday to remain closed indefinitely."
13/ (Abbrev, article in 11/) "Rideau Centre also going into third day of closure related to the protest. On Sparks St, a block off of fully occupied Wellington St in front of Parliament Hill, most businesses and restaurants are closed, says Kevin McHale, exec dir. of local BIA."
Note in tweet 10/ there is a typo. Should read:
More reference. This was shared by @dan613 from the same thread as I *linked (not 'liked') above in tweet 9/

"Elderly were dying alone in long-term care homes."
Does she not understand that if unvaccinated family visited the homes, there would be MORE deaths?

2/ It's incredibly sad that LTC inhabitants were isolated, but it's not Trudeau's fault. C19 a highly infectious disease, a real threat to vulnerable. And it's a fact that the unvaccinated carry more viral load if w/C19 (& can be false negs w/rapid tests &/or be asymptomatic)
3/ (I've hidden response by anti-vaxxer to this thread but will post fact-check their disinfo) "Fact Check-Preventing transmission never required for COVID vaccines’ initial approval; Pfizer vax did reduce transmission of early variants" reuters.com/article/factch…
Poilievre doesn't think climate change, or the Ukraine war have anything to do with global inflation. I truly hope - as long as he (or someone with the same worldview) is CPC leader - that Canadians never vote the CPC in as the federal governing party. They'd wreck our economy!

3/ Adding @mini_bubbly's thread about the fall economic update
1/ Have discovered can no longer specifically report 'C19 misleading info,' back to 'encouraging self-harm.' Not sure if others have access to (now dropped) 'misleading' category but here are steps for anyone unfamiliar w/new reporting system, reporting self-harm. (See 2/ to 5/)
2/ Not sure if others have access to (now dropped) 'misleading' category but here are steps for anyone unfamiliar w/new reporting system, reporting self-harm. Steps 1 to 5, of 16 steps.
3/ Not sure if others have access to (now dropped) 'misleading' category but here are steps for anyone unfamiliar w/new reporting system, reporting self-harm. Steps 6 to 10, of 16 steps.
Convoy's lawyer is getting a lesson in how municipal politics works. Why didn't this guy do his homework before asking questions of the Ottawa's Mayor?
2/ By the way, I vet any responding unknown acct's timelines & hide & block them if their TLs reveal they either troll, harass, insult others, and/or share convoy (and/or C19) misinfo, and so on. I don't want them, nor their followers, on my thread(s).
2/ Just read another tweet tagging PnPCBC, that calls that pundit Soudas. So, the person I'm mentioning in the above tweet is Dimitri Soudas. He really came across partisan - making his contribution/analysis useless IMHO
3/ And now I'm disagreeing with Mr Soudas again. He's claiming that the fed NDP won't get credit for the dental plan. I voted ABC - anyone but conservative. I vet my local candidates based upon town halls, debates, incumbent and so on. Also look at how party leader has performed.
