@cityoforillia When is textile recycling being picked up? According to the info provided, today is my pickup day but my bags are still outside....

@RumbleFreeCA @LKrauss1 @chrisbrunet @bradley_tindall Cultural funding focuses on specific European ancestries, not "white" identity. Under the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms & fed/prov human rights acts, protection against discrimination based on race, color, or ethnic origin applies to ALL, regardless of racial background.

I will not engage in politics today. Period. It's my birthday and my close family is gone. So, I spent a ridiculous amount bringing pho in from another city along with flan and I am now enjoying a long, hot bath. Nothing big for me this year.

@Andrew198004G @LKrauss1 And? We know that thousand died because of the records. Finding the unmarked graves is difficult.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@LKrauss1 @sjc_pbs I have not seen anything else that contradicts that in my reading of the curriculums and various articles.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@earlkralik @earth__sophie @LKrauss1 Yes, cram it I to a textbook and take out the human and environmental connection. This allows kids to learn in the environment and not just reading stuff from a book they will never remember.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@earlkralik @LKrauss1 This just lets them learn in the environment instead of just a textbook. And it integrates so traditional oral storytelling. I would have*loved* this as a kid.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@sjc_pbs @LKrauss1 So, hands on learning in the environment and integration of storytelling of oral traditions to you is a bad thing?

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@LKrauss1 But this does not change the teaching of science, it provides a place-based context for it. Science gets taught in the local environment rather that just a textbook. Things like building models of clam gardens to study marine biology. I don't see the issue.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@NovelistNick @LKrauss1 It's not. It has already been defined by the courts.

@adrupsytov @LKrauss1 Did someone in government graffiti Nazi symbols on a church that I missed?

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@saltynutbutter @LKrauss1 No...it covers *hate* speech.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@OvermanBridge @LKrauss1 I'm a woman and I do not feel vilified by other women, trans or cis. Methinks thou protest too much.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@Andrew198004G @LKrauss1 I think you are talking about the Americans. Here, we try to protect those that need it.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@JerryColen @LKrauss1 Madison has nothing to do with Canada.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@LKrauss1 But that *is* the definition in a legal and human rights context. It's a a hallmark of Canadian jurisprudence (notably from cases like R. v. Keegstra and Saskatchewan v. Whatcott)

@LKrauss1 I'm so jealous of your lack of snow. We still have a good 2 feet left to melt. Can't wait to move.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@ShadWulf @LKrauss1 My country too there bud. And it's not misinformation.... it's opinion. Something everyone is allowed to have.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@ShadWulf @LKrauss1 Disagree all you want but coming on someone's account and telling them to stfu makes you an a**hole.

[Leanne Davis @Cosmic_Slice]

@MrJustinFREAKIN @LKrauss1 Great succinct argument. Must have put tons of research into that.
