If wearing mask stops others from getting sick, reader will do it, mandate or not
SooToday received the following letter from reader Clara Robinson in response to an earlier letter regarding COVID-19 published on Nov. 9.I, too, have had all my vaccinations and even though it is frustrating, I will take more if needed.Yet even today, the number of people getting COVID is rising.
As they were passing away, I heard the suffering not only from their lips but in the voices of their loved ones wishing that their loved ones had made a different choice.They told me I would not live to be 50. Yet, I am now 64 years old.Many will argue that’s the same for all of us, but even though there is truth in that statement, other people are not 400 lbs due to a disease there’s no cure for.Every waking moment, I have to choose to live.
I was there, too. But I live in my own private hell, living in a bed not being able to go out shopping, or even outside.

House urges Senate to review practices in light of interpreter injury concernsMPs are urging their colleagues in the Senate to take a second look at the way the Upper Chamber ensures virtual participants have adequate audio quality, as part of their ongoing conversation on the challenges faced by Parliament’s shared interpretation service. At a Nov. 3 meeting, members of the Board of Internal Economy (BOIE) unanimously agreed to direct its chair, House Speaker Anthony Rota (Nipissing–Timiskaming, Ont.), to write a letter to Senate Speaker George Furey’s office highlighting the House’s processes to check sound quality and suggesting the Upper Chamber adopt the same. “We can’t control what they do, but if we suggest to them that that should be the case and show them what we do … these are best practices that we have, [and we can] encourage them to do the same,” noted Rota. After a suggestion by Conservative Whip Kerry-Lyne Findlay (South Surrey–White Rock, B.C.), the Board agreed to also send the letter to the Prime Minister’s Office, as cabinet uses the same pool of interpreters but does not use the same technical services (and therefore processes) as the House of Commons. Hybrid proceedings have taken a toll on Parliament’s interpretation service. Early on after the adoption of hybrid proceedings in 2020, organizations representing staff and freelance interpreters with the Translation Bureau began raising the alarm over the increased rates of injuries—from headaches to tinnitus to acoustic shocks—being experienced as a result of inferior sound quality from virtual participants.

The meeting in question was one of the Senate Environment Committee, during which two witnesses testifying virtually did not wear recommended microphone hea
