Hi kids .. #HandmaidsTale (the book not the series!) has just been banned in #Edmonton…don’t read it, your hair will catch on fire! Get one now before they have public book burnings of it.

7 hours and 671 phone attempts to reach a live agent @CanRevAgency and never got through. I can’t do this day after day. How am I supposed to reach someone because the question I have needs a live person not a bot.

[Krista Tucker Petrick (she/her) @KTPetrick]

Six hours and over 500 attempts to get through by phone to @CanRevAgency to no avail. Guess @CanRevAgency thinks this is good customer service.

[Krista Tucker Petrick (she/her) @KTPetrick]

Now at 5 hours and 436 phone attempts with @CanRevAgency and still can’t get through to an agent.

[Krista Tucker Petrick (she/her) @KTPetrick]

Now at four hours and 353 attempts of trying to get through to @CanRevAgency and still not spoken to anyone. Haven’t even been able to get in the queue.

[Krista Tucker Petrick (she/her) @KTPetrick]

Now at three hours of trying to get through to @CanRevAgency and over 200 phone call attempts. Still not even in queue. How is this ok?

[Krista Tucker Petrick (she/her) @KTPetrick]

Been trying to reach @CanRevAgency since 1:00 pm EST. Cannot get through. Wait times have been as low as 1 minutes and still can’t get in the queue. What the actual heck?

Dear White parents with babies or toddlers, please buy your little ones Black and Brown baby dolls. You're not doing them a favor when all they see is whiteness. Tell your babies how beautiful that Black or Brown doll is. Introduce your babies to story books with diverse people.

@TheDHTaylor You need to go to Alto Restaurant for souvlaki and poutine!

@TheDHTaylor Bread bags or milk bags were a must in Abitibi Canyon, ON in the 70/80s.

BREAKING: New report shows just how much Ford is failing students!

Ford is underfunding school repairs by nearly $13 BILLION - and more than 112,000 students are currently not in appropriate learning spaces 😡

Staff and students are dealing with crumbling buildings & inappropriate learning environments while Ford continues to prioritize his rich buddies. SHAME!

Yesterday I had someone say to me (for the millionth time) that what we do at @SanguenOutreach is just enabling people to use drugs. That’s kind of the point. Let me explain….1/4

I love this woman’s sarcasm.
