#Parkdale has never been immune to consequences of a system which denies peoples' basic rights and dignity.

We appreciate the examples given of Parkdale tenants' organizing and fighting back.

With comments from our own @tenzinster and @colefwebber!

Today I suddenly gained an keen interest in hockey news, vigorously cleaned my dirty sneakers with a toothbrush, and read multiple articles about the importance of strengthening your kegel muscles (for men AND women, fyi). I think it's exam season???

we could put ALL the money for fare inspection into fare subsidies, but we demand a token payment from poor people. this is also exemplified by the arbitrary fights ttc officials get into with riders who try to enter the system without paying

. @SCC_eng finds that Ontario consumers can still launch #classactions despite #arbitration clauses in consumer contracts, but business customers with the same claims cannot. @ehellinga considers the #AccessToJustice implications. https://t.co/vWA2ctuOaN

some thoughts on strategic voting...

even if you’ve decided to vote strategically, be VERY skeptical of any websites that claim to show you accurate polls of which party is leading in your riding.

This Thanksgiving, let us not forget to thank all the migrant workers who grow & harvest our food. Let us also reflect that while most of us enjoy today off with pay, our emp laws disentitle farm workers who grow our food from receiving today off or from public holiday pay.

.@MRenwick spent 9 months this project thanks to @sharada3 @Carleton_U's amazing Travers fellowship.

During that time, we interviewed dozens of workers, stayed with their families in rural Mexico, and got rare access to farms in Canada.

Also irrelevant for articling/OCI interviews...! I was not asked this Q myself but I have friends who were. These interview processes are traumatic enough!

[Londyn Robinson, MD @londyloo]

Dear residency interviewers and applicants. I have been hearing that many residency interviews are asking

“what’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to you & how did you handle it?”

Please don’t ask this. It’s not relevant for the job interview. It’s not relevant.

The @fordnation cuts to legal aid and community legal clinics are devastating for access to justice in Ontario. Yesterday, we joined @ParkdaleLegal and others to support #Justice4All.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

To all those scared for our future: we can get through this better than we started.

We have the power to triumph over hatred, division, and bigotry.

But decency cannot be taken for granted. It is something we must create, advance, and actively work to build each and every day.

Or we could prioritize protected bike lanes in city planning. We have been sharing the roads in Toronto for a long time, and cyclists still get hit at alarming rates. We need more than these friendly reminders... we need a solution that actually works.

[City of Toronto 🇨🇦 @cityoftoronto]

Bicycles and cars share the road. Cars should wait behind bicycles until it is safe to pass with at least one-metre clearance. Learn more: https://t.co/pwPOC45CJT
