Today, the MUN Campus Coalition, representing over 20,000 members of the university community, sent an open letter to Minister Howell and Premier Furey calling on them to meet with stakeholders and to restore funding to MUN.

Taylor Swift donated more to Food Banks in Canada than Galen Weston this year, pause on that.

Remember, mourn, organize, take action.

December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada.

This day marks the anniversary of the massacre in 1989 of 14 young women at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal.

They died because they were women.

I don't give notes but I provide slides, learning objectives for each class, case studies with answers, and practice questions.

Hi, I’m God.

Vaccines save lives.

Love,

God

Vaccines work

It really is that simple...

Fruit cake. I know I'm one of the few that actually likes it!

Morality is not open for debate

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.

More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

Now.

Libraries, providing free information to everyone, are the bedrock of a free society.

And a shoutout to all the librarians out there! Thank you for all you do!!!

#ILoveLibraries

Best of luck!

It's not a difference of political opinions if the opposing side's opinion is that you aren't human or shouldn't exist. That's not how anything works.

Never forget this. The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Love your pics Sevtap!

Thanks for adding me!

#FundMUN A campaign site run by the Campus Coalition to increase government funding for Newfoundland and Labrador's Public University - Memorial University.

Did you know?

Memorial University adds approx. $627M to our economy each year.

Alumni have earned $1.37B in additional income / year due to their degrees from MUN. The ripple effect is $2B /yr.

Funding MUN is an investment in our province & people.

Future sighting with evidence will be reported here! Lol

Medical and public health colleagues, we need to do something about this “I have walking pneumonia” confusion.

Patients say, “I hear there’s a lot of walking pneumonia right now.”

What do they think it is caused by?

Pneumonia is caused by bacteria or viruses. Covid is a virus.

Also, mask up, eh.

Parked by HSC with no license plate but a Nova Scotia permit according to my observant student!

I need people to understand this. Far too many folks think that if healthcare workers aren’t masking - it means the threat has passed.

No - it means they’re resistant to change.

It took decades to get them to adopt handwashing - and the person who advocated for it was written off as mentally ill

There is no cure for Long Covid.

Repeat infections raise your risk of developing Long Covid.

If you have Long Covid, repeat infections put you at risk of worsened Long Covid.

"Journalists may want to be done with COVID-19, but the virus isn’t done with us — or the communities we live in and report on. It is a disservice to people’s health and lives to mischaracterize or inaccurately report on COVID-19.”
