What took so long? Been saying that for over a year now.
Board of health calls for Ontario to upgrade to building code ventilation standards cp24.com/news/board-of-health- via @cp24

There are always billions immediately available for warfare or to bail out banks, but never any money available for universal health care or good schools.

"Over the past two years, the #Ontario government moved to muzzle the council that advises it about the #Greenbelt as it shuffled its work behind closed doors.
Documents explain the silence: after the mass resignations, the government changed the rules of the Greenbelt Council to make its advice confidential, and to restrict its members’ ability to talk to journalists. [Everything] is considered confidential unless the minister approves its release.”

Ekos polling shows 9% of Canadians report symptoms past 3 months on first infection. 25% report symptoms past 3 months on a second infection.

From a risk management perspective, it is worth protecting yourself against infection & reinfection.

So I thank you for taking precautions at your previous location and protecting our health during the pandemic. We were safe & felt safe as a result.

I've said this before, but after I say it this time, I'm pinning it to my profile.

IF YOU FOLLOW ME YOU MAY EVENTUALY SEE CONTENT THAT YOU DON'T LIKE.

I am NOT a one note Mister Rogers (whom I adore and highly respect) clone who ONLY talks about how much you rock and reminds everyone to be kind to each other.

I am a multi-faceted human being.

I have many layers, and you may run into one that you don't like.

That's because I'm 100% real.

And if that's too much, I wish you well. No shade.

The #Peterborough Board of Health is asking the #Ontario provincial government [Health Minister Sylvia Jones & Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark] to amend the current building code to mandate higher standards for ventilation, in light of the spread of COVID-19.

#DidYouKnow 5 new diseases appear in humans every year and that most of them are from animal origin?

To avoid pandemics like #COVID19 we must step up to protect our ecosystems, stop biodiversity loss and reconcile with nature.

Despite being one of our most valuable ecosystems for people and #nature, wetlands are Earth’s most threatened ecosystem.

I set a goal for myself to do every day in March. I haven’t totally managed to meet that goal, but I did my 12th practice in 16 days and I’m feeling good about it. Don’t be scared to set for yourself, and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t meet them. Be gentle to yourselves!

I interviewed Michelle Yeoh a few years ago about #StarTrekDiscovery and I mentioned offhand that I'd written an article about what seeing her use her accent on the bridge of a starship meant to me.

She stopped and said "Wait, that was YOU?"

And then proceeded to talk about how much that article had meant to HER and how it contributed to the success of the show.

I can't think about it without crying.
