We are deeply saddened to learn that Peter Ward crossed the bar last week. Peter was a journalist, naval officer and loving father. He led the effort to preserve #HMCSHAIDA and was awarded the Admirals’ Medal. Hear his story in his own words. youtu.be/6gDUYLgBQAE?si=vP05…

“The World Council of Churches was created in 1948 by a post-Holocaust Christology and, for this very reason, defended, for example, the victims of the Brazilian military dictatorship.”

Since we're NO where CLOSE to having ZERO Covid, please watch Senator Tim Kaine's video on his personal experience living with Long Covid. I wish everyone with Long Covid in Congress would speak out like Senator Kaine!
Please be safe: #CovidIsNotOver 🙏💜

Due to the Covid restrictions in 2021, Australian farmer Ben Jackson couldn’t attend his aunt’s funeral. So he laid grain for his sheep to gather around in the shape of a ♥️ so she could see it from heaven. Love and humanity will never ever be restricted.

Any mask is better than no mask. But Covid is considered a Level 3 biohazard. Wear the best mask you can afford. The coming variants are more infectious than you can imagine—one case infects 20 on average without mitigations.
Help your healthcare system by wearing a good mask.

So…the highly immune evasive #XBB15 variant was first detected in New York & is spreading rapidly in the US…but Canada will require a -ve COVID test for air travellers from China?
This won’t control the spread of COVID. Instead, it will make xenophobia & anti-Asian hate worse.
