To every female in Canada, no matter what your age, Pierre Poilievre and his party have you firmly in their sights. They will move you back to the 1940โs and 50โs. They have a secret agenda and that is to subjugate you all to the will of the state and men in general. Vote liberal

A CDC study found
surgical masks in indoor public settings cut the chance of contracting the coronavirus by 66%.
Higher-quality N95 & KN95 masks reduced the risk of infection by 83%.
A mask protects not only against the coronavirus but other respiratory viruses, too.

The dogs are intentionally used by Israel to terrorize and bite Palestinian civilians, especially during protests and night house raids. This cruel tactic is reminiscent of how police in the US and apartheid South Africa set attack dogs on Black citizens demanding their rights.
Like apartheid South Africa and Jim Crow America, apartheid Israel continues to use vicious dogs to attack Palestinian civilians. This month an Israeli dog was used to savage a teacher in his own home. haaretz.com/israel-news/.preโฆ xitter.gq/intifada/status/964969โฆ

13 years ago this month, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer. I promised him that I would do everything I could to help kids with #ChildhoodCancer. Itโs the only thing he asked us to do. Not to help him, but to help others. I would be grateful for a follow or a RT to spread awareness and honor his journey. ๐๐ป โ at Kechi, KS
