Good morning from May Day. Today is special for many different reasons but an underlying theme of those reasons is people coming together and supporting each other. May your day be filled with community.

Your child didnât have a kids burger. He had the burger on your bill. If you wanted to ensure he ordered the kids menu you should have supervised his ordering instead of sitting 2 tables away drinking while your child and every kid on the soccer team acted like demons. Thx for the 5% tip. Respect.

It enrages me that I cannot access healthcare without being put at risk. One year check up with dermatologist. Have to take off my mask (Iâm the only person wearing one) so she can see where the carcinoma was removed. Luckily I could hold my breath. Salinex and mouthwash before/after.

I want to know what Canadians will miss out on bc of the federal gas tax holiday. 2.4 billion dollars the government will not spend. Not spend on programs to reduce fossil fuel dependency. Not spend on fighting food insecurity. Not expanding pharmacare.

Any push to increase school attendance has to deal with the fact that schools are where sickness spreads - and it doesn't stay there. Forcing sick kids to go anyway will make that even worse. If they're serious, start by cleaning the air. Attendance and learning will improve as kids get healthier.

Sunday morning community fridge stocking. Beef chili with cornbread. In the past Iâve shopped Saturday, cooked Saturday, and delivered Sunday. This has made for some hectic Saturdays. Especially as I work every Saturday night. This week - shopped on Thursday (stores closed Friday). Much better.

Yesterday, PM Carney stood at a podium where he held all the power and rather than address her directly, mocked a woman representing Grassy Narrows. This government cannot be trusted when it comes to defending Indigenous ppl and their territories from past and future harms. It was disgraceful.

Wearing a mask is such a simple way to protect your health in crowded indoor spaces, especially high-risk places like hospitals. It still blows me away how many people would rather get sick over & over again & potentially get long-term health issues from COVID & more, rather than wear a simple mask.
