#yyj, Sooke, BC, Canada 🇨🇦 Please follow the science and get vaccinated. I want clean air and I love seeing people masking in crowded places. I’m interested in other things too.

The memory of the mass femicide at Polytechnique is still painful.
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Montreal massacre, where 14 women — students at Université de Montréal’s École Polytechnique — lost their lives in a mass shooting motivated by misogyny.

Sometimes I imagine what it would have been like had we adapted to Covid instead of giving up.
If we had clean air in public spaces.
Respirators in healthcare.
Free masks for those who need them.
Better tests & treatment.
Paid time off.
We would all be healthier.

Reminder:
Medical staff aren’t the only people we’re trying to poach from the United States.
If you’re a laid off air traffic controller, teacher, scientist… see what the options are for Canada.
I don’t have the bandwidth to help you, but a lot of Canadians are trying to be helpful in this way.
