Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.

It’s still not too late to wear a mask! Covid and flu are raging. People are traveling for the holidays & getting sick in the process. A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects you and those around you. It’s an investment in your health plus it shows solidarity with the disability community.

In 2026 let’s normalize masking for public health. If we could admit that with healthcare being gutted, vaccine access restricted and previously eradicated diseases coming back… having an extra layer like a respirator makes good sense. Let’s also normalize not mocking people who mask!

Flu and Covid are both surging. If you want to stay healthy for the holidays, wear a mask! Ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95. A layered approach works best. Get your boosters (if you can!), mask up, clean and ventilate the air and stay home when sick. Masking is community care.

There’s nothing wrong with healthy eating, exercise, sunlight & stress reduction. They’re great ways to improve health. The problem is the “wellness” community. It’s always been a direct pipeline into eugenics. They believe you can “healthy living” your way out of disability, and it’s not true

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection. But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk. They are still worth getting. Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

Learning to rest is crucial when you’re chronically ill. If you try and play through the pain, you can permanently set back your baseline. Make sure you remember to rest your brain and your body. That crushing brain fog that feels like scrambled eggs in your head? That’s a warning sign to rest

Disabled people aren’t “choosing” to be sick. They can’t “try harder” to be well. It’s not about how hard we fight or whether we want it bad enough. Disability is not a moral failing. Many of us were just like you, until we weren’t. Its one of the only minority groups you can join at any time

Choosing to wear a mask is a radical act of kindness, resistance and community care. It’s a simple yet profound way of saying “I care about my health and others” In this time of rising fascism, survival is resistance. Refusing to treat anyone as expendable is resistance. Masking is powerful
