Happy Pride Toronto!

Honestly? I really do not understand why? For goodness sake it is Black History month!! As a white person and ally, I'm really disappointed in this backlash and attitude. National Arts Centre gets backlash over first Black Out night for Black theatre goers https://t.co/SxRJSjAYOK

We understand that due to cellular issues, many of our customers are unable to see our map and the magnitude of the outages across our city. Hope you can view it here. Please know our crews will work to restore everyone, but damage is deep. More updates to come. Thank you.

U.S. women soccer players reached a landmark agreement with the sport’s American governing body to end a six-year legal battle over equal pay, a deal in which they are promised $24 million plus bonuses that match those of the men. https://t.co/bckAzsInkL

A truck is not a speech. A horn is not a voice. An occupation is not a protest. A blockade is not freedom, it blocks the liberty of all. A demand to overthrow a government is not a dialogue. The expression of hatred is not a difference of opinion. A lie is not the truth.

[Jeff Willbond @JeffWillbond]

I'm deeply disappointed in the disrespect towards the Terry Fox statue today in Ottawa. All in the name of freedom? Really?

[Accessible Canada @AccessibleGC]

New regulations under the Accessible Canada Act were published today!

These regulations set the dates by which organizations under federal jurisdiction must prepare and publish their initial accessibility plans.

I've had the privilege of working for DM Watson twice. One of the most thoughtful leaders in the PS. His truth resonates.

[Accessible Canada @AccessibleGC]

15 years ago, Canada adopted the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Canada was among the first countries to sign the treaty and proudly ratified it in 2010.

The Convention is intended as a human rights instrument.
