Interested in a lot of things, knows about a thing or two... :)

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

On Oct. 18, Moscow's proxies in occupied Kherson announced an organized relocation of Ukrainians to the Dnipro River’s east bank, away from the city. Many media, even some in Ukraine, called it an evacuation.

The Kyiv Independent explains why it’s a dangerously wrong label.

This morning, my wife left Orlando, Florida aboard @SouthwestAir flight 1630 (MCO to PHX).

She sat behind this man. She had been attending the Grace Hopper Conference all week and was resting her head on her tray table, trying to sleep a bit.

Let me tell you what happened.

The landlord of 1570 Lawrence Ave. W. has issued N13 notices to about a dozen tenants on the first floor to complete renovations. The tenants are fighting back. https://t.co/JF4i6cgxnx

"I was shocked," the Toronto university student told Go Public. "I was saying, 'How can you even say that?' Then he told me to shut up when I was defending my friend." https://t.co/AKvNEWQLIQ

This fight has always been about making the student experience and the education system a better one. The college's refusal to negotiate or arbitrate is a clear indication that they don't care about students. #Bargaining4Better https://t.co/rN1Vvewyn7

[RM Kennedy @RM_Kennedy]

The irony of this post is not lost on anyone given the Employer’s insistence that they cannot bargain binding commitments to equity, diversity and inclusion with dispute resolution mechanisms, which is the gold standard for achieving gender equality.

Disband the CEC #onpoli #COVID19 #Onpse #OPSEU562 #DisbandCEC #CECrThieves

[RM Kennedy @RM_Kennedy]

I am struck by @CECouncil's repeated attempts to undermine the democratic legitimacy of voting processes. This is a Trump-esque strategy that substitutes doubt and fear for meaningful political negotiation. It doesn’t belong in higher education.

BREAKING: After getting hammered on Twitter for the remarks below, Ontario CMOH Dr. Kieran Moore releases statement saying "I want to be clear that the paediatric Pfizer vaccine for children 5 to 11 is safe, effective and provides strong protection." #onpoli

[Jonathan Singer @ONcollegeprof]

Following yesterday's successful strike authz'n vote, @CAATfaculty offered the College Employer Council to extend current working conditions until January. Today, the CEC opted instead for labour disruption, announcing unilateral imposition of working conditions tomorrow.

What a difference 18 days makes.

@andrewgurza_ My friend in Etobicoke, age 37, has Huntington’s Disease, is not mobile, but wants to be vaccinated. They have been told they must wait to Sep for a home injection. Is there a way they could get vaccinated earlier? Read @TorontoStar article featuring you. @JohnTory

[Gen X Canuck @GenXCanuck]

@oectagovernor @AndiePlace @fordnation Ford and his government should have to sit on those chairs EVERY DAY and take the same risks as essential workers, preferably unvaccinated. Maybe the reality of them or their families facing triage for care would motivate them to competence.

[Chris Cowley @oectagovernor]

BREAKING:

Declaring his government non-essential, @fordnation plans to close Ontario’s legislature next week.

Meanwhile in Ontario...

“I’m a bit confused by this presentation … am I missing something here? Or is this presentation actually predicting a disaster?”

• Co-chair of Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table:

“No, I don’t think you’re missing anything...”
