Today at 11am, an amazing panel on a post-pandemic Latin America. Check it out if you can!

[Ann Fitz-Gerald @afitz3105]

Great panel of int’l experts and fantastic learning opportunity - join us tomorrow for a GI panel in “Leadership and Legitimacy in a post-pandemic Latin America” - see link below. Open to the public.

[Scott Hamilton, Cambridge Ward 7 @HamiltonCbridge]

Let's hope that @unifor4304 and @GRT_ROW are back in business tomorrow, getting Cambridge residents where they need to be!

Great public transit is what makes a community flow.

As a councillor, I'll fight for better transit, accessibility, and bike lanes.

Powerful protests by teachers & education workers in Ward 7 of Cambridge, and all across the city.

I'll always fight alongside any resident standing up against injustice and doing what's right.

To those protesting: Thank you for safeguarding our future!

@JuliannaVanAdri @cityofcambridge @100Debates @MicheleBraniff @SunnyCBridge @_BryanMay @cbridgeca @northdumfries Looking forward to it! Thanks for the invite. Fighting climate change and ecological disaster is one of the main reasons I’m running, and I’m looking forward to chatting about the #GreenNewDeal we need.

[Scott Hamilton, Cambridge Ward 7 @HamiltonCbridge]

@kevinrns Agree with you here. General usage of "We have caused climate change!" obfuscates responsibility of the states and corporations that knowingly led us into this catastrophe. Although 'we' didn't cause it, I do think we have a responsibility to act on it. Trees = one small way.

@DonDavies Just to add to that: here's a picture of a 1964 NDP-CCF platform from SK. Universal drug coverage is included.

Although it shows how far we've come (i.e. changing our language and understanding of Indigenous & First Nations peoples), it shows how far behind we still are.

@MyRunning42k @MyRunning42k (aka. Kirk!), you are a legend. Thank you for your help here. We can't do it without people like you lending a hand. It's really motivational. Please do let me know any thoughts, concerns, ideas, etc., you have about my campaign going forth. Cheers! Scott

@NDP 's #powertochange is Canada's #GreenNewDeal. Cons & Lib response: "This is impossible. Can't happen!"

Wrong.

History matters. Ordinary things taken for granted today (smartphones; internet; human rights; etc) were ALL once things that "couldn't happen."

Today the federal @NDP released the climate plan it intends to carry into the 2019 election. With a nod to the #GreenNewDeal excitement, the plan is entitled “A New Deal for Climate Action and Good Jobs.” My overall take – this is a bold & ambitious plan. THREAD 👇#PowerToChange

@amneetbali Exactly why this Raptors team can take them out in 7. It's like watching grit v.s. arrogance play out on hardwood.

[Sara J. Casselman @SaraJCasselman]

It's Pride Waterloo Region! While we celebrate, let's not forget the festivities have a greater meaning. Few things hurt like being rejected by those who are supposed to love you forever. Friends, I hope you feel embraced by your community this weekend. You're perfect.

[Scott Hamilton, Cambridge Ward 7 @HamiltonCbridge]

Let’s not forget, there are two Canadian NBA teams cheering for the #TorontoRaptors tonight.

You’re playing tonight too, Grizzlies. In spirit!

(P.S. Time for the NBA to return to VanCity...)

@Nate_Lajeunesse @CFifeKW @citywaterloo @GretaThunberg Thanks for the tips, but I'm looking for leafy perennials at the moment. Good luck with your planting, and enjoy the weekend!

[Scott Hamilton, Cambridge Ward 7 @HamiltonCbridge]

This guy called it: Raptors in 7.

He’s all business, too. “No mushy avocado until double-OT ends, Dad. And these refs are horrible.”

Intensity.
