Like everyone else in Ireland, the local heron was soaking up the sun today.

@pinhman Yep. Local news video gave lots of reasons people may prefer to stay in their vehicle: illness or disability, parents of young kids, easy to fit into schedule, etc. Seems like it was an appreciated option. We’ve typically gone to a local church or community centre, but had to mask up […]

I voted early in our municipal election today. We stopped by the polling station that was set up in the local mall, because we had another errand to run there. There was a lineup, but it moved quite quickly, and it was a very diverse crowd (you know, kinda like Canada). The poll workers told us […]

@EdwinG Same. I mean, DoFo is a nimrod, but at least our Flu & Covid vaccines are still free and readily accessible. My only complaint is that fall vaccinations should be available to everyone earlier. People who are older or more vulnerable are eligible as of Sept 28, and everyone else after […]

@KimberlyN @EdwinG I don't know what the actual cost of the vaccines are when purchased by the hundred-thousand or million by provincial health authorities, but regardless of the actual number, it's going to be a tiny fraction of the cost of even just being seen in the ER, much less being […]

@cazabon @EdwinG Exactly. Incredibly short sighted and wasteful of both resources and scientific expertise. Public health spending protects us all — if it’s utilized effectively.

@EdwinG 🤨 I just want to say that I find provinces charging for vaccines…unconscionable. If anything, they should be doing everything they can to encourage as many people as possible to be vaccinated, so the population can protect people in our communities who cannot be vaccinated.

Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:

Families who experience miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy termination, or other pregnancy loss do not always receive clear, compassionate, trauma-informed information about lawful options for the respectful disposition of pregnancy remains;
Such options may include burial, cremation, collective memorialization, religious or cultural rites, spiritual care, or other lawful arrangements consistent with conscience, culture, faith, and grief;
Federal health-service settings, federally administered health-care programs, and directly federally funded institutions, including the Canadian Armed Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Correctional Service Canada, should provide clear written information, compassionate communication, and appropriate faith and cultural accommodation after pregnancy loss; and
No family should be left alone, in the middle of grief, to ask whether their child can be treated with dignity.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Develop and implement a Pregnancy Loss Dignity Protocol within areas of federal jurisdiction, including federal health-service settings, the Canadian Armed Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Correctional Service Canada, and other relevant federally administered or directly federally funded institutions; and
2. Encourage provincial and territorial health ministers to review their hospital, clinic, health-authority, burial, cremation, and pregnancy-loss policies to ensure that families receive clear information and respectful options after pregnancy loss.
