Over the course of my lifelong evangelical experience, I watched church leaders teach kids to ignore their gut. That the feeling of something being off was to be ignored. In fact, it was the voice of "the enemy," persuading you to not trust your spiritual authority.
Your leaders were not required to earn your trust or make the space safe. You were the problem and it was because you let the enemy into your heart and mind.
They used this to ask intrusive questions. They wanted to know your sin nature so they could coach you.

You'd be encouraged to tell your pastors and leaders about lustful thoughts, homosexual tendencies, who you might like, bad things that had happened in your life that were beyond your control.
There was no consent because you were groomed to trust blindly.

$40.7 M breaks down to an average of $19.4 k per hospitalized Covid-19 patient.
Since pandemic protections were removed, the RHAs report an average of 94 hospitalized Covid-19 patients on any given week.
With an average stay of 2 weeks that's a cost of ~ $911.8 k / week.

If questioned about what’s stable, one could point to any massaged metric.
Maybe reported ICU cases are stable. Maybe reported hospitalizations are stable. Maybe deaths are stable.
Doesn’t address at all the fact that we have a new hazard that didn’t exist 5 years ago.

Doesn’t address at all the fact that we have a new hazard that didn’t exist 5 years ago.
And that our esteemed provincial government has never informed anybody that this hazard transmits through the air, by the inhalation route.
How is long term care ever supposed to stop transmission when no one is telling them to clean the air?

Good news, but… Is it playing politics to note that most of those beds will not open until 2025, the year the Tim Houston govt. is scheduled to seek a new mandate?

In March 2022, Higgs said COVID was like the cold or the flu. Over the coming days I'll be combing through the @PoPNB_kindness RTI to find out what was known by GNB about long COVID by March 2022 that shows they knew COVID was not like a cold or flu. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…
From July 30, *2020* they already knew this from PHAC: protectnb.ca/rti/SAC%20upda…
I guess it took them until Nov 2022 to vet this info and decide long COVID was relevant to the public tho

Again this is from July 2020 - looks like they well knew it wasn't a typical "respiratory" illness. Next slide from the link in previous tweet.
You know what work: Universal Booster Bonus - a semi-annual booster to every Canadian of 1000$-$2000. #nbpoli #CanadianPolicy Read on +
Plus this would eliminate the need for a lot of unnecessary third party agencies meant to help as a person. They could pursue their idea rather than jumping hoops to maybe get that 1000$ to do what must be done. Same for any disability supports, renovations, etc. +
A universal booster bonus - the profiteers can’t rely on it like they can a monthly income like proposes with universal basic income. +

Today marks 3 months since I have been meeting my kids outdoors for lunch every school day.
It takes 2 hours of my day, every time.
It has affected my work schedule and other aspects of my life.
I wouldn't have expected to have to do this for 3 months. I'm glad I do.

Back when NB announced that school masks would be dropped, at first I waited for someone else to step in and say it was a bad idea. Surely, it wouldn't actually happened.
Days passed. We realized nobody else was going to speak up.

Our group was the first organization of people in Atlantic Canada to speak up for the protection of universal masks in schools. We did it before the IWK pediatricians, before NB's pediatricians, before NBMS. We had great citations though.

The New Brunswick Minister of Health tabled significant changes to the Public Health Act today.
These may appear minor but they provide legislative adjustments so New Brunswick no longer has to resort to using a State of Emergency in a subsequent wave of COVID. #nbpoli #cdnlaw

At first glance, these amendments address several concerns I identified with the current Public Health Act: unclear roles, unclear class orders, allowing closure of premises related to notifiable diseases, increasing fines.
I discussed changes on my blog:

A neat procedural / consitutional update: The NB LG transmitted a message to the Assembly that Bill 99, an Act to amend the Electricity Act receives a Royal Recomendation per section 90 of the Constitution Act, 1867 #nbpoli
S.90 of the Constitution Act, 1867 is a restatement in Provincial Constitutions of the requirement that any monies appropriating revenue from the Consolidated Revenue Fund must be recommended by the Lieutenant Governor. This is a key feature of Responsible Government /2
S.54 of the Constitution Act, 1867 indicates that there is a requirement for the GG (LG) to recommend the appropriation of public monies form the Consolidated Revenue Fund. Why? /3

We need a PERMANENT rent cap of 2% or inflation, whichever is lower.
We need to ban reno-victions. If you lived there before the reno’s, you have the right to live there after.
When a building is sold, tenants should have the right of first refusal.

Wondering how we can get more educators and admins in the know about COVID transmission. I truly hope most educators would #MaskUp if they understood airborne transmission and how well masks work.

Ultimately the failure of our governments for not communicating and educating well on airborne transmission.

🧵What are the extent of the New Brunswick government's powers to end a strike using the Emergency Measures Act? Let's review. The province has the ability to order workers back to work if a strike impacts the ability to respond to an emergency. With some caveats #nbpoli /n
S.12 of the Act gives the province the ability to "do everything necessary for the protection of property, the environment and the health & safety of persons therein" the list in section 12 only provided examples but isn't exhaustive. Can also ensure access to buildings /2
The province cannot legally suspend or amend other acts via a mandatory order as the EMA doesn't give this power. Paragraphs that overreach this rule I would expect to generate considerable interest in a labour context especially regarding fines for violating an order. /3
Hi everyone, I’m @MatthewHalliday. I recently wrote about New Brunswick’s “mystery disease,” an apparent cluster of neurological illness suspected to have sickened at least forty-eight people in the province. thewalrus.ca/new-brunswicks… 1/21 #NBPoli #Healthcare
But, right now, I want to talk about the government and scientific response that has emerged since my piece was published online last Friday. 2/21 #NBPoli #Healthcare #CdnPoli
The cluster came to public attention this March. Most cases were initially identified by one neurologist, Alier Marrero. But the cluster was not something Marrero simply invented. New Brunswick, having limited expertise, requested federal assistance. 3/21 #NBPoli
Only the Legislature can increase fines (they should), this is because the Emergency Measures Act does not allow Cabinet to suspend or amend laws. The Act needs to say "suspend the operation, either in whole or in part, or amend an Act of the Legislature" but it doesn't #nbpoli
Statutory interpretation & and the Bill of Rights does not allow Cabinet (or in this case the Minister of Public Safety) the authority to unilaterally suspend or amend laws unless authorized by the Legislature. Same reason why Cabinet cannot unilaterally change school vaccination
New Brunswick is distorting the principle that the Legislature is Supreme. Because these fines are being imposed contrary to the rule of law, Crowns are going to run into issues when prosecuting these offences. This can be fixed via Legislative amendment but not retroactively.
In 1918, after NB Minister of Health ordered the closure of places of worship to limit the spread of the Spanish Flu, the Baptist Churches in Westmorland endorsed him for safeguarding public health and stated that the order was "no interference" in the exercise of worship #nbpoli
Minister Roberts thanking them for their view stating it is the correct one to take respecting "the health & lives of the people".
He regretted that some churches did not share this opinion but is pleased there are some who will stand up and take the part to do what is right

The pandemic of 1918 was incredibly hard on people. Here Minister Roberts issues a reminder that no public funerals were to occur to in order to lessen "the ill results from Influenza". Roberts received many correspondence asking for exemptions.
