Honoured to have been given @RTDNA_Canada's Adrienne Clarkson Award for Diversity for my series on refugees and immigrants (w/@ICAVictoria). Now, more than ever, these are the stories we need to be telling, so that mainstream media is a place where everybody belongs. #cdnmedia

Thanks to Jason from @CorsairSupport for making this right! Much appreciated!

Hi @CorsairSupport, Customer Support sent me the wrong replacement fans that don't even fit in my case. Not getting anywhere with the support team over email. Can you make this right? RMA # 2008380115.

What an incredible appointment to the Federal Court. Avvy Go has spent her entire career fighting for equality in our justice system with @csalegalclinic @faclOntario etc. Justice Go (like the sound of it already) will be a fantastic jurist. https://t.co/99QxAPKguB

Today I'm wearing an orange shirt to commemorate survivors of residential schools. As settler Canadians, let's work together to fight the racism that continues to put Indigenous children in care today. #OrangeShirtDay2020 #OrangeShirtDay

Dr. Theresa Tam is warning of a ”reasonable worst-case scenario” — a COVID-19 wave that’s several times higher in fall. Here’s the story @ChrisRomdotcom and I did for @CBCTheNational

[Dr. Notisha Massaquoi @NotishaMassaqu1]

Today we marked the day when slavery was abolished in British Colonies including Canada. It is imp. to distinguish our history from the US which positions us as a place of safety for slaves and ignores the horrors inflicted on enslaved Africans in Canada.

In this video, a woman claiming to be a teacher at @tdsb tells @justineabigail, a Filipina Canadian woman, to "go back to China" and says that "all Chinese people should go to jail." @tdsb can you confirm she is an employee?

A white couple call the police on me, a person of color, for stencilling a #BLM chalk message on my own front retaining wall. “Karen” lies and says she knows that I don’t live in my own house, because she knows the person who lives here. #blacklivesmatter

It was great to learn more about how #Asians across North America can support #Black lives. Head to https://t.co/hAc6zzhK2A to download the Asian American Racial Justice Toolkit! #AsiansForBlackLives #AsiansForBlackLivesMatter #BlackLivesMattertoronto #racialjustice

[Calvin To @CalvinToLaw]

If you're an #Asian, please consider joining this town hall I'm taking part in tonight. The goal is for us to share the community supports that are available to you, while learning about how #covid19 is affecting you and your loved ones. Info below.

It's official! After a career in broadcast journalism that has spanned three provinces, it's time to start something new. Nine years ago, I became a journalist so I could help make this world a better place...

[Calvin To @CalvinToLaw]

It's something my wife @KimberlySchne20 and I will be pursuing together, as we step into this next stage in our lives. Thank you for all your well wishes, and for watching all these years. Let's keep the important conversations that we've been having together going.
