Gray: why hasn't min of justice recused himself? Smith: you don't punish people because of allegations. You try to get info. Not much longer to wait. Gray: the AG's investigation is key and the premier asked her min of justice to intervene with AG; why is Mraiche's friend and relative doing that?

There should be no vaccine exemptions for "conscience" or "religion". No holy book comments on vaccination, and "conscience" is in reality just ignorance.

Today is Red Dress Day. As an Indigenous woman, this day is deeply personal. We carry the stories of our sisters, our aunties, our daughters — too many taken, too many still missing. Red Dress Day is a day of remembrance. But it must also be a call to action.

A good thread, but let's be clear, this isn't just a movement "with" elite leaders, it is a movement largely *created* by elite leaders, based on false premises and a lot of pettiness. The issue isn't "yokels" or stupidity, but selfishness and dogmatic ideology.

Some tips as someone who loves food, has a bunch of health-related food restrictions, and has been food insecure for ~3 years 1. If you can afford it, a Costco membership is the best possible investment in not starving. $5 rotisserie chicken + bulk frozen vegetables have gotten me through so much.
