At least 3 kids have died in Ontario this influenza season yet our CMOH, Kieran Moore, remains invisible.
No appearances to encourage vaccination. No tips for protecting kids.
We don't hear how many times the media has contacted his office about an interview. Dozens, I guarantee.

I've been asked by 3 media outlets in the last week to do interviews on the influenza season.
I still haven't seen our new CMOH, appointed Dec 18th, (or old one, for that matter. Or any public health official) in the media on this topic.
For the record, they are acutally paid, to do this.

A reminder that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra’s parents emigrated here during a period when Italians were considered to be a genetically inferior and criminal-minded underclass that Stephen Miller’s racist predecessors said should be excluded from America

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

🎄 Santa cleared Canadian airspace. His reindeer too.
Meanwhile Pierre Poilievre still hasn’t obtained federal security clearance. That’s not a meme, it’s a fact CBC has reported.
This is why CBC matters. They report the uncomfortable truths others ignore.

For those who actually care about evidence-based city-making, there’s a ton of evidence that decongestion pricing has been a massive success in New York City, by every measure of success, and many ways that can’t be measured.
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

I fell off a ladder in August. The bill for the 1.7 mile ambulance ride is $4387.31.
Our $4500 per MONTH Cigna insurance won’t pay more than $600, because the ambulance is out of network.
There are no in-network ambulances in our county, and I was unconscious when it was called.

God bless the American on Threads who foolishly said that “Lenny Kravitz’s” song American Woman was a protest song. Adorable.
It’s the Canadian band Guess Who and was a song about the United States being an attractive woman with an ugly heart, basically, after they did a big tour there in ‘69.

Just curious.... what does Dr Kieran Moore do?!
Like, how does he fill his time as CMOH?
Because it is very unclear to me — as an Ontarian who would like to know that someone is in charge and providing some sort of public health leadership in Ontario.

The more I think about it, the more I reckon the 2003 Iraq War began the process that let Trump win. The blatant lies we were told by our governments, the disregard for public opinion and mockery of international law created a rupture that never healed. Trust, consent and cohesion were smashed.🧵 1/3
