As a Canadian, I stand for our freedom of speech, for our right to protest peacefully and respectfully. The only way to eradicate all forms of hate in our society is to not passively stand by when it happens. 🇨🇦
A queer history thread!
Today, we lost an important part of Edmonton's queer history with the fire at Mila's pub, which was the site of Edmonton' very first gay bar, which began in 1969. #yeg#queerhistory
Had enough yet, Alberta? You get that voting for O’Toole is like voting to have Kenney’s UCP at a federal level, right? Same people calling the shots. How do you think that will go? Really think about it before automatically voting conservative *again* on Monday. #ableg#Elxn44
As a server, hearing people blame CERB on restaurant staff shortages is dehumanizing. If an industry is harmful, why blame low-wage workers?

A Detroit police officer punched a man in the face with so much force that he fell backwards onto the pavement and appeared unconscious for a few seconds. This is NOT how police should interact with citizens & this use of force must NOT be tolerated.
A few years ago after my dad died I was in a pretty bad place. Out of nowhere Jason Sudeikis sent me an email I REALLY needed . I’ve never shared it before (he said it was okay to do) but I just want people to know he did this. He really is Ted Lasso https://t.co/Q9OVKaDes0
“We’re not dealing with bad apples, we’re dealing with a rotten tree.”
Trevor addresses Daunte Wright, Caron Nazario, and the system that protects bad cops.
They are a danger to people in this area & many local businesses. They clog up the side walk & slow traffic. And when they bring their racists symbols w/ them that is effectively active intimidation of BIPOC. Shouldn't we be able to feel safe where we live? #yeg#ableg
Dear @CityofEdmonton when do bilaw officers step in & ticket the hundreds of anti mask protestors that are walking down 109th street every week? Numbers are skyrocketing, variant is out of control, still they march, unmasked, no distancing, & no consequences. #yeg#COVID19AB
Guy picks up a confused 16-year-old dog from the shelter so he doesn't die alone — months later he's galloping around the yard after his foster dad 😍 😍
