I'm relieved to see that I am not just a relic trying to live in the president day world.

Hey @uwaterloo.ca and @wilfridlaurieruni.bsky.social people, we're coming to town! Still a few free tickets for a discussion with @spaikin.bsky.social, @vassb.bsky.social, ThinkOn's Craig McLellan and @mozzilla.bsky.social's Mark Surman Friday night at CIGI:

Niagara County voted 57% for Trump. All of the counties outside Buffalo and Rochester favoured Trump — many of them by 60% or more.
Americans voted for belligerent nationalism and isolationism, and they're getting it.
I wore a N95 the whole time in hospital - why go through the stress of surgery to repair one artery and then put every vessel in body at risk?

Holy moly! 😳
If this is this is the kind of stuff they think they'll get away with doing in public and in broad daylight, just imagine what they're doing behind closed doors.
Some winter scenes today of an LRT that worked well in the snow.
Greetings from Kitchener-Waterloo, with its ION LRT trains running every 10 minutes, on time, with full signal priority! 1/2

All of this plus pharmacists and almost everyone else in healthcare I’ve ever met. We all have to learn de-escalation and how to keep our heads in tense situations.
If you’re pregnant please wear a well fitted mask like an N95.
Pregnancy makes you high risk for Covid complications.
There’s no risk to masking and cleaning the air.
More & more studies are showing that Covid during pregnancy harms a developing fetus.
Mask up.
YIKES. And people wonder why I’m wearing a mask when out and about 😳
My Word for 2026 “slapdash”
Not sure about this 😳
Plus a real weakness for ripple chips 😋
Haha, I have lots of friends in Atlantic Canada suitcaseandheels.com/storm-chips/
After almost 11 hours of rain and freezing rain today, it seems like there’s still weather to come! Storm chips on hand #onstorm
If I were paid to do this job, I'd be in the media and on social media every day.
I'd say:
1)get vaccinated for covid and the flu.
2) wear a respirator (N95) mask in crowded indoor spaces like public transit.
3) keep your holiday get-togethers safe by keeping things well ventilated and filtered.

I didn’t have to go to Greece - my grandparents (in eastern Ontario, Canada) refused to get electricity and still had an icebox until 1972!
