@airtransat I have been trying to, you don’t make it easy. I sent an email and it says it could take up to 30 days for a response. How do I find out the new flight information?

@airtransat cancelling a flight not offering hotels or compensation???

[Amber Kilpatrick @Music_Amber]

@airtransat you cancel a flight until the next day almost 24hrs and don’t even offer a hotel or compensation…

Educators, consider the impact on Indigenous students and the many others from around the world who have, and continue to experience colonial violence. They may choose to not be part of any “honouring” conversations

@SunwingVacay when you don’t show records online of a delayed flight and everyone in the Cuban airport just goes on hand written notes, does not mean it didn’t happen. I guess this is one way to get out of compensating people. Please make it right.

Acknowledging my racial bias is not the same as knowing how to identify & eliminate racism. Both are important. But not confusing them is also important. As a white person, at some point doing that internal work without transitioning to institutional work looks like entitlement.

Today I pledge to be kind and accept others just the way they are. To be open minded, even when others are not. I promise to use my voice for good, not for bad. I refuse to stand by and watch others bully you. I will step in when I see that you need help. #internationaldayofpink

Would Joyce Echaquan still be alive if she were white? Quebec’s coroner says “I think so.”

The existence of systemic racism in the way Echaquan was treated in a Quebec hospital is undeniable, coroner Gehane Kamel said Tuesday, a few days after releasing her report.

I see folks calling for others to lower flags to acknowledge the uncovering of graves in BC. Although I agree, I want more... this action is performative... what I want to see is school boards doing an analysis

[Amber Kilpatrick @Music_Amber]

Looking forward to the learning from #aneveningwithdesmondcole

Structures & systems must be in place to secure & sustain changes that advance socially just antiracist practices. So when new leaders enter the space they can’t be undone #SaturdayThoughts
