If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get more involved in fighting creeping Christofascism, clear your schedule on January 10.

The last time these ding dongs tried to march at Christie Pits they were outnumbered 10-1.

I bet we can do better than that this time.

#CounterProtest
A poster by a Christofascist group called Canada First Movement shows a Canadian flag beside a large white cross and an airplane flying towards the right side of the poster. They’re hosting a racist rally called Stop Mass Immigration at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto on January 10 at 1 pm. The words at the bottom of the poster say START MASS DEPORTATIONS • CLOSE OUR BORDERS.

The open-source infinitely repairable air cleaner. An exceptional choice for indoor air quality. I can personally vouch for the Standard model. Extremely quiet, highly energy efficient performance with high clean air delivery rate.

The OHA has issued a statement. Given multiple children have now died of the flu in Ontario in the last two weeks, now would be a good time for Kieran Moore to emerge from his hidey-hole and hold a press conference or do some interviews to raise awareness & encourage vaccination.

#OnHealth #OnPoli
The Ontario Hospital Association issued a statement Tuesday, warning of an alarming increase in cases, which have now hit a three-year high. The group said last week, patients with flu were up 150 per cent, hospital admissions grew by 84 per cent, and the number of people in intensive care hit 127 per cent.
