Less than 10 per cent of students wear masks at Ottawa\u002DCarleton District School board schools, according to an informal survey of principals

Parents feeling 'abandoned' as children's health-care system struggles, calls for provincial mask mandate swell

Seven trustees were just elected this fall, so this will be their introduction to the sometimes emotional issue. It’s hard to gauge the mood among parents about masking at schools and whether their outlooks have changed since last spring. Two opinion polls earlier this month suggested Ontarians would follow mandates.found that 71.4 per cent of Ontario residents said they would support or share some support for the return of face mask mandates this fall in indoor public spaces if deemed necessary by officials.

Anyone still pushing for masking please listen to this podcast from an expert in the field who knows what she is talking about…..

GOOD!

Good

Totally Unnecessary

Nice!

No shit.

Good. As it should be.

Good!

👏 👏 👏 people are finally waking up!!! NeverTrustTheGovt

Excellent. So all the polls are fraudulent. Nobody wants to wear a mask.

Ford: masking a personal choice. Basic Biology 🔹Respiratory System 🔹Gas Exchange Process ➡️We inhale Oxygen and we exhale 'Carbon Dioxide'. Question: Is it healthy to put the 'Carbon Dioxide' we exhale, back in to our lungs 🫁?

Ya so what

Maybe they read the real science and got educated. Now it is time, after almost three years of this insanity, to look at the studies and evidence.

Good

Good. People are finished drinking the koolaid.

So

Good!! Mask are a choice and people chose not to wear them! They weakened all our immune systems and now we are all getting sick from every bug we catch!

Excellent.

Is it possible that the Covid-19 gene therapy products ('vaccines') are weakening people's natural immunity, hence the increase in respiratory issues?

There is hope for ottawa after all

Just like the rest of 🇨🇦

Good.

This is news🤡🤡

People are finally rising up against this blatant tyranny. It's nice to see... as for the Citizen, GFY.

Enough of the communist BS, humanity lived without mask for milleniums… get over it, Liberals manipulated you it’s that simple

JustSayNo unitednoncompliance HoldTheLine

👏👏👏 for them.

Good. Hopefully the officials can read the room and realize that people are done with this stuff and stop trying to push it.

Good.... wakey wakey ..the lie is over

And?

Enough with this constant pushing of these masks leavethechildrenalone NoMaskMandate NoMasks

Good. There was and is no reason to.

They don't work so maybe that's a valid reason. 🤷

SHOVE YOUR MASKS....THEY HARM

Good. they're useless, and they impair both teaching & learning. Trigger allergies & asthma. And some contain titanium dioxide in doses exceeding recommended exposure rates, which are BREATHED into the life-support system of the body (lungs)

Smart folks who know that masks don’t work !

As they should

That’s good.

So what?

Covid is over. It's a cold at this point. Move on.

Good, people are finally coming to their senses

Good!!!!

Good. Keep it that way 👏👏👏

That’s Logical. They know the masks don’t work, I’m face, they cause more harm than good.

Good, those things are useless for the prevention of viral infections. But they're great if you want to contract a bacterial infection.

Good....They're following the science

Nor should they! Wake up Canada, masks don't work.

There will be millions of casualties

Great to hear!

Good!!! May it stay this way!!! NEVER mask again!!!

Oh and look here DalhousieU ... They also received a massive bribe to the tune of $7 MILLION - JUST PRIOR TO COVID!!!! to work with WHO psychopath - Dr. OBrien to develop VACCINE PSYOP to 'tackle'... get this!!!!! - 'vaccine hesitancy'

GOOD! The only reason they are being suggested is for partisan/monetary/bribe reasons. BribesFORLives CorruptU

Thank God for common sense. We depend on natural immunity which grows through exposure.

Even the best of 'N95' masks are incapable of filtering the covid viral particle.

So the fringe minority who do support wearing masks can expect to to labeled misogynistic racist stereotypes which in my estimation is fare

Get a life!

masks are not needed. no one needs to listen to Dr Nili

Only a few people in Canada are now. It's over. Give up.

Important to recognize, although she is a doctor, we know doctors are capable of being wrong, misleading, corrupt, negligent as anyone else. In addition listening to her arrogant barking is equally a verbal assault causing emotional trauma to many. Perhaps a lawsuit? Ottawa

Awesome to hear! It will stay that way too. We aren’t masking up ever again.

Good

The agenda has been exposed.

👏

Nor should they… we’re seeing the negative effects of living overly sanitized lives due to the Covid years. To not learn from that is more irresponsible than the current Ottawa mask hysteria.

Great! Some intelligence for a change

Good for them

Proving that students and staff are considerably smarter than journalists and trustees.

Good... they can get back to building their immune system.

time to move on

Good! They don’t need them.

MASKS DO NOT WORK. So yes, that's why no one wears them. Got it? MasksDontWork MasksHarm

Good.

Good

But I thought 70% of Canadians WANTED mandates back. Why the dichotomy?

yesss

That's great

Good!!

Awesome!

Good...because masks are ineffective & particularly harmful in settings where ventilation is poor, such as schools.

Good

I identify as a mask, and I think wearing me is degrading. I hope this message speaks my fellow comrades who are struggling with this debate.

Good

Good! MasksDontWork

And what does that tell you? THAT THE MAJORITY DON'T WANT TO WEAR MASKS.

Good for them

They're not mandated, people made a decision.

so? what is your point?

Why should they wear masks? Are they sick?

Good. Let's keep that way.

Good

Good move on already you pathetic child abusing cultists...

GOOD!

Good

Good

jimmyscottkeen Of course not. They believe in science, not politics.

Enough with the masks

The people have spoken! You all just need to listen.

Liberals hate free choice. Last night they got served a cold dish of f*ck right off

So what

GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m sure most have had covid and thought wtf am I wearing this mask for.

Good!

Time to let it go. The mask is a choice.

Most people everywhere aren’t wearing masks. We’re done.

Right. So they are managing their risk, leave them alone.

Good They are complete useless according to current science findings.

But the loud minority are trying to force people to live the way they want

Awesome

Sounds like parents and students are communicating that they do not support Nili’s divisive attempt to impose a mandate just on kids and the adults who work with them. Insufficient quality of evidence has been provided to support masking, and no cost-benefit analysis.

Wonderful to hear that people’s choices are being respected.

Good

ETFOeducators where are you? This must end. OCDSB staff where are you? RISE UP!

Excellent news.

The student have spoken, they don’t want masks!

Thank god.

GOOD 👍

We got the vax. Eff off

Brilliant!

va3thm Good

Good

Why are we even still talking about masks?

erdocAA JacquieAMiller would be better served spending some fraction of her time critically investigating the justification for mask mandates according to scientific research instead of quoting ridiculous polls by Nik Nanos that are designed to reach a desired outcome.

Nature is healing...

Good.

It's about time they figured out they don't work. Just like the vaccine....masks belong in the dumpster.

LMAO....Should of supported the Convoy. They were ahead of the curve....right all along:-)

erdocAA This paints a very clear picture of what parents and students want. NO MASK MANDATES!

LMAO....Coudn't even get your leftie teacher's to go along with the BS. Public Health has lost all trust!

Masks don’t work.

erdocAA Bravo 🙌

👏 Kudos to those who seek to bring down the curtain on pandemic theatre. And just say 'no' to Covidian demands for encores.

That probably indicates they don't want to.

Good

Good. Choice is how democracy works. Stop forcing ineffective, politically motivated agendas on our children. Mask Nazis are terrible people. Zero regard for individual choice. Lets strip away their right to choose and see how that goes. Pro choice doesn't stop at abortion.

Leave the kids alone!

good

I wonder if it’s because they don’t want to? Get over it babies.

Good.

That’s good, it’s nice to see common sense has prevailed….. masks aren’t normal…. Never will be. They should never have been worn and never should be in the future

They know they don’t work.

And the sky is blue.

Are you ever going to run a story on how completely insane the OCDSB newest trustee Nili Kaplan-Myrth is? I hope she isn't allowed around kids.

Vera Etches is not recommending making masks mandatory in Ottawa schools.

Probably because mountains of them are vaxxed and the rest acquired a short term natural immunity through infection, so there isn't much to mask for anymore.

Anyone who wants to wear one can do so. The board has NOT completed a risk/benefit analysis and has no right to mandate.

That clearly means that most students, parents and staff are against mandated masking. A majority doesn't believe in the measure, ocdsb. The maskers are quite simply put: a small fringe minority.

Might be because we had 2 years of masking & virtual schooling for overblown projections of Cvd. Time to move on.

Great. It’s so Nice to see normal returning.
