Boarding, deplaning, taxiing were the riskiest moments for COVID exposure. It looks same for pollution.
Glad I keep masking during flights these days. COVID taught a good lesson.
Air passengers exposed to extremely high levels of ultrafine particle pollution.

Imagine if we handled pandemic response in similar way to we handle climate policies. What is best for the economy? Or wait we did and folks died.

Here’s the problem with Canada’s ‘industrial carbon price’
The success of Carney’s gambit on pipelines could come down to what agreement Ottawa can reach on how much to charge for greenhouse gas emissions.

This is happening 5 min from MN Wild arena for YWGers who still think of heading down there
Scores of community members confronted federal goons and St. Paul police for hours Tuesday morning as federal agents arrested at least one person at a home in St. Paul's Payne-Phalen neighborhood. At least three protestors, one of whom was injured by law enforcement officers, were also detained.

Daughter inadvertently left her credit card in car console after exiting a parkade. Of *course* her car was broken into that night & card was stolen. Shoutout to the filthy-dirty, disgusting pig who wasn’t satisfied w/getting a bunch of free stuff-they had to SPIT inside the car, too. FUCK YOU. 🤬

Got a situation I’d appreciate comments/advice on… 🧵 ⬇️
Close family members (mom, dad & 16 mo old baby) will be on route back from a funeral in Adelaide, AUS. They don’t live in WPG, they are ~3 hour drive home. They will be back in WPG on Saturday, early afternoon…. 1/6

Was waiting for grandson’s hockey game to start yesterday. Was introduced to 2 other grandparents from the team. Johnny’s g-ma said her daughter (Johnny’s mom) was at home, sick. G-ma has her Covid & flu shots booked next week. “Why bother, mom?”, asked her sick-at-home daughter? 🤯

Also, I’m the oldest… 5 years older than my sister and 8 years older than my brother. Being the first-born AND a girl is real shit.
Anyway, I just needed to vent. This Christmas Day brunch carries on what my parents started. If we abandon it, I don’t see my siblings & their families at all. That makes me sad… letting go of it feels like letting go of my mom & dad. For good. 😭😭😭😭
Is it really too much to ask? It seems it is… 😳 💔

Got a dilemma… 🧵
trying to plan a Christmas brunch for my extended family. ~30 people if they all come. We’ve done it for years, very successfully *before* covid.
