YET ANOTHER #CAQASTROPHE
Transport Minister Geneviève Guilbault told reporters the ministry had been misled by those in charge of #SAAQ and that she didn't know the situation was so dire...
LIES!!!
But, now she's going to launch an internal investigation into #SAAQclic... so, shut up, OK? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-guilbault-saaqclic-1.7467613 #polQC #assnat #QCpoli #CAQFAIL #CAQBS
Outsourcing to the lowest bidder has been the ruination of the country. Those doing the work don't give a shit; or they're not afforded the time to do a proper job. The result is shit, half-arsed, and of the lowest quality.
"The Financial Times reports that Navarro has recently floated kicking Canada out of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing program that also includes the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.”
Kick the USA out. Tell them to fuck off and die. See how he feels about that.

If you think mask bans are “no big deal” because there’s medical exemptions, please consider the following:
😷 Police are not doctors
😷 Many disabilities are invisible
😷 Disabled people don’t live in a bubble. I need my friends and caregivers to mask to protect me
😷 Everyone should have the right to protect their health, you shouldn’t have to already be sick to be permitted to mask
😷 Criminalizing masks sends a message that maskers are “bad”. It emboldens anti-maskers and increases odds of aggression
The reality is that mask bans are discriminatory, ableist and eugenicist. They push disabled people out of public spaces. They put marginalized and POC at increased risk of police profiling.
There’s no official policy for a medical exemption either, it’s at police discretion.
If you’re stopped and questioned, you will have to prove you’re masking for the “right reasons”
I’m more than willing to admit that if I were stopped by a cop for masking, I would appear nervous, shaky, tachycardic and probably “suspicious”.
Not because I’m doing anything wrong, but because my illnesses do not respond well to stress and the police are stressful.
It’s not right to put the onus on the masker to defend their right to mask. We’re still in a global pandemic. Texas has a measles outbreak. There’s tuberculosis in Kansas. Bird flu is spreading and it’s the worst year for influenza A in over a decade.
Masks are a public health tool. They’re a disability accommodation. They should NOT be criminalized.
