Whoah. It was cold enough here in #Alberta that #propane condensed in a wine glass. 🤯

Holy sugar it's about to get cold.

Frostbite happens in minutes at -30C, let alone -40C. The Hope Mission crisis diversion team is available at 211 if you find someone in distress, and 911 is always an option too.

Take care of each other.

Whatever you’re up to tonight, remember: do not drink and drive.

In most cities, transit is free tonight, or call an Uber, friends, or family.

But whatever you do, don’t call your ex.

Three severe #LongCovid patients received monoclonal antibodies and "rapidly returned to normal health and previous lifestyles/occupations [...] still sustained to date over two years later."

Holy shit.

I work in healhcare. I'm seeing what's happening .

Mask the fuck up if you care about your loved ones.

Mask. Now.

It seems the new right wing thing is to describe crimes as generically as possible to pretend they're not crimes. Like if someone was convicted of conspiracy they start yelling "wow so it's illegal to make plans with friends now"

Everyone has to be out by Friday at noon MDT. At least 5000 evacuees will arrive in #yyc. Flights start at 1 pm Thursday. Yellowknife Hospital is closing units and negotiating medivac flights with SK, AB, and BC… whoever can take patients.

The mayor of #Yellowknife has handed control of the city to the NWT government.

My heart goes out to everyone up north.

For folks not familiar, it's a 15-hour drive (if you're lucky) from #Yellowknife to St. Albert, just outside of Edmonton, where the closest reception centre is.

It's trees for hundreds of kilometres.
