Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦I spent a fun & fascinating morning at CN’s Walker Yard, in Edmonton’s Calder neighbourhood, the busiest rail yard in Canada. At harvest time, they routinely handle 6000-7000 cars a day. Their engine shop can service up to 27 locomotives. #TRCM #CN #Edmonton #yeg #Calder #trains #rail #SenateofCanada
Interesting. I posted these same pictures on FB and got absolutely pummelled with furious and abusive posts. Why? Because I am seen wearing a mask. Such fury - people mocking me for being ugly, people calling me “it” and “he”, people shrieking about the WEF, people calling for the abolition of the Senate, because one senator wore a mask in a group setting. I finally started deleting and even, for the nastiest comments, blocking, which I rarely, almost never, do. Just wild. #Covid19 #Facebook
My FB posts rarely get much engagement these days. This one went through the roof, with dozens & dozens of angry comments from anti maskers. I’m curious, algorithmically, about how that works. Is there some AI set up that looks for images of people in masks, and pops them into the feeds of anti mask folks to provoke response? Or is it just that one or two people post abuse and then share their posts with their others and it grows virally? But I’ve been posting masked photos for months. Why now?
Bruce Acton 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦@Paulatics Hi Paula the reason the #antimaskers are angry now is #masking is coming BACK! For some of us it never stopped. The #Covid surge in the #US and #Canada will cause more folks to mask and some people just feel the need to be oppressed. Just wait the #CPC will see this as an evil plan.
