I am working with @ButNotTheCity
and @noahadams and others to sponsor a newcomer to Canada. We need to raise $18,000 to fund his first year in Canada. Can you help us? Donations go directly to @mcctoronto and are tax deductible. https://t.co/skEQmRhzvG

@anne_theriault We have one. I have used it zero times. I highly recommend you get him one. I will use ours one day.

[Andy @AndyInkster]

@ezmytweets I feel this in my bones.

[Andy @AndyInkster]

@SewrattanLaw He taught my stat interp course and was a Crown I worked with in Timmins. Looking forward to seeing him sworn in, in flagrant violation of my usual rule against going to Sudbury.

[Andy @AndyInkster]

@Sarah_Molyneaux Yes, I agree with your assessment of that. Thanks for clarifying, fully agree.

[Andy @AndyInkster]

@Sarah_Molyneaux I'm not seeing it there, that section only applies if a child has been bullied, no? This section seems useful but it's a bit toothless.

[Andy @AndyInkster]

@Eric_M_V Yes, exactly. This is a foundational principle of health care in Canada, and crucially important. Trans people are again being targeted, because we can be separated from the herd and culled off. it's shameful.

[Andy @AndyInkster]

@brendanvn @PulatYunusov Absolutely.
Also, if you're a Crown, yes you should.

@JOpolsky Citation please?

Sharing again to make sure it gets to the right folks. #lawtwitter, share with your clients

School boards, parents and queer advocates forced Premier Ford to back off when he tried to mess with 🏳️‍🌈-inclusive comprehensive sexuality education in 2019.

We will do it again, if we have to.

@The_Zack_Barnes @jordan_law21 Bingo. How many of them are "nonequity" "partners" or...was that even a thing for GenX and Boomers?

[Andy @AndyInkster]

There's a segment on Egyptian sacred cat cults in this documentary I am watching. I tried to kick the cat out when they explained how people pray to, feed, and treat the cat like a god.
He refused to leave and is perhaps taking notes.

[Andy @AndyInkster]

As parenting expert, specifically focused on LGBTQ parents, and a queer & trans parent of a trans kid...no. Just no.

[Scott Moe @PremierScottMoe]

I’ve been asked what experts we consulted in creating the Parental Inclusion and Consent policy.

I believe the leading experts in children’s upbringing are their parents.

[Andy @AndyInkster]

@KristopherWells And they don't mean LGBTQ parents, either.

[Dr. Kristopher Wells @KristopherWells]

Talk of “parental rights” in education is a dog whistle for anti-LGBTQ ideologies.

If parents want to know information about their child, just ask your child. If they feel safe and supported, they will tell you. It’s that simple. #cdnpoli

@amandadoeslaw Mindfulness. You are not your mistakes. You can forgive yourself and let go.

@WimminsRea @lucasdrayton Oh, I just remembered:
There is an administrative process now, this has become so widespread, the Tooth Fairy has a new policy allowing the child to simply notify them that it will not be left out.
You just call and schedule, and notify the tooth is missing: 1-800-961-8516

[Andy @AndyInkster]

@WimminsRea @lucasdrayton It is so true! Also making sure you properly invite them so that they don't get busted for B&E.

One of the most impactful classes of my law school career was when Mr. Smithers visited my criminal law class. Smithers v. R., 1977 CanLII 7 (SCC), [1978] 1 SCR 506, https://t.co/Rqn7Qyxxa9

[amanda @amandadoeslaw]

Friendly reminder that it's easy to read cases during your time in law school and forget that there are real people involved in them. You never know who might be in your class, listening to your off the cuff comments. Cultivating your capacity for empathy starts day 1 of 1L.
