People are tweeting their top ten tweets of the year, but I can't figure out how to find mine. Instead, here's the top tweet of each month. (More-->Creator Studio-->Analytics) They're copy/pasted because I also can't figure out how to get the links without lengthy scrolling! 1/14

JAN: Moore admits cases will be higher in the next six weeks, but "We'll get through it!" What, dear doctor, does that mean?? How many lives will be lost or experience profound cognitive disability or organ failure from long covid?? Is that part of getting through it?? #onted

FEB: As a civics teacher, the problem isn't the curriculum, but making it stick. Many of my top students in grade 10 forget some important basics by grade 12. It somehow needs to be reviewed each year, every year. It wouldn't hurt to lengthen it, shorten careers, as 1 credit.

MAR: Where is the freedom to choose NOT to be in a classroom of unmasked people?? It's too late for parents to switch to online learning. Ford has said NO to the choice to be safe at school. #VoteThemAllOut2022

APR: Can we at least get rid of the narrative that wearing a mask or not wearing a mask are equally valid choices. That's like saying driving drunk or sober are equal choices when one clearly has a much greater potential to cause harm.

MAY: When will I stop wearing a mask?? When will you stop wearing a seatbelt? In Canada, Covid is killing ten times as many people as auto accidents, so if we should ditch masks, then we should definitely get rid of seatbelts.

JUN: Realizing what a bubble I'm in online and in real life. I don't know a single person who would consider voting PC. I'm blown away that cuts to healthcare, profit-driven LTC, no autism services, online ed, paved over farmland, etc. is what Ontario actually wants.

JUL: My daughter needs 4 more in-car sessions at her driving school, but instructor refuses to mask or keep windows open. For FOUR HOURS, trapped together in a car, one-way masking isn't effective enough. I asked for a full refund.

AUG: One school has been 100% Covid-free with 0 learning loss: Good masks indoors, zero 'mask breaks,' everyone eats outdoors even in bad weather, every room has a HEPA or CR-box and CO2 monitor, at 650 windows open, and at 800 students vacate the room. tasmaniantimes.com/2022/07/a-covi…

SEP: If PH won't educate us on a communicable disease, we have to: In Ont. the case, hospitalization, and fatality numbers for the last 2 weeks of Aug 2022 are about DOUBLE the combined numbers for the same period in 2021 + 2020. This is the WORST time to give up masks.

OCT: I've been cautioned not to tweet so much about covid because it could cost me votes. But we're sleepwalking through a crisis that could be averted if we can just open our eyes to it. Hospitalizations and deaths are way higher now than this time in the previous two years.

NOV: 386 experts studying Covid in 112 countries came to a consensus on what needs to be done to END Covid. Can we please bend to their collective wisdom??
100% - It's airborne & worse indoors
97% - Vax alone won't end Covid
96% - N95 masks ARE necessary nature.com/articles/s4158…

DEC: It feels like it's nobody's responsibility to ensure we have clean air in public buildings. So, couldn't @JustinTrudeau fund clean air initiatives directly instead of giving $$ for healthcare to provinces knowing it hasn't been used appropriately in the past??? #CleanAir

I have many many interests besides reducing the spread of Covid - you just couldn't possibly know that from Twitter! Let's soak up any sense that we have an opportunity to start fresh in 2023 -- we really need it!

BONUS Dec 21: "We are asking that employers ask their employees to work from home whenever possible."
= Things are really bad out there

"I, from the bottom of my heart, think schools are safe." = Children are expendable and please keep shopping and packing arenas over Christmas
