@batichi hopefully nothing happens.
i'm not that far away from the effected areas but i probably wouldn't have known cause nothing showed up on my weather widget.
@msquebanh 16.6% of Canadian-born students living in unsuitable housing makes it clear that there is not enough housing for students. Adding international students into the mix cannot make that suddenly not a bigger issue.
@CStamp I've met both domestic & international students here, who are living out of cars or couch surf for months because there's still a massive housing crisis.
@johnefrancis A friend of mine owns a cottage on a small lake in Quebec. All of the residents have agreed to no motorized vessels on the lake. It’s heaven.
@MichaelPorter a municipality can ask for a VOR...an official Transport Canada restriction on vessels. Not sure if that's what they are doing in Quebec. They also sometimes set the ramp fees as $1500 but free for cottage members...I don't like that...lakes are for everyone.
I don’t know if we’re prepared for how many people do not and will not give a fuck about serious transmissible infectious disease outbreaks and future pandemics. Considering #covid is already over according to every government and no one is seriously grappling with what happened over the past four years, I’m not hopeful on a large scale #cdnpoli#onpoli#ontario
Did you know that women can legally go topless in #Ontario? But I think this story is still true -- most won't because they're afraid of getting harassed.
The JN.1.* +FLiRT variants now make up 27% of sequences and XDK.* which is recombinant of JN.1.1.1 and XBB.1.16.11 is remaining at 5% for now. Graph tools by @mike_honey_ 🧵 1/
@grivettcarnac I gave up at the third paragraph of the author and judge lamenting the impact being a convicted rapist who destroyed a co worker’s career will have on this guy because it was clear there were never going to get to real consequences. Consequences thst might keep him or another like him from doing this again
#Ontario and #CyberSecurity folks - My friend just got an email thanking her for getting vaccinated, with a link to click to access her vaccine certificate. She hasn't been vaccinated lately, so my alarm bells are ringing.
The link to click goes to the domain awstrack.me, which does not look like a legit domain for this kind of thing. On the other hand, the email is addressed to her personally (i.e. there is a salutation that uses her real name), with a minor capitalization typo that was in the definitely-legit emails she recevied previously. Those previous emails also have a link to click that goes to the TLD awstrack.me.
"awstrack” makes me think Amazon Web Services are involved, but that particular TLD is registered in Luxembourg, if I read the whois entry correctly. Why would our provincial health service be routing sensitive information through a European domain?
I suspected that maybe someone got vaccinated recently, and the OHIP number was entered wrong. But my friend checked the portal, and her last vax recorded was in last year, as expected.
Our right-wing, pro-Trump Premier has clearly been delivered the polling on student encampments (9/10 Canadians support the students).
He is not going to call upon Provincial police. #Onpoli#Ontario:
