… but those symbols would never take precedence over causing harm to children who themselves have seen the atrocities of war. He was there for the exact opposite reason.

Papa was on the front lines in WWII. He never talked much about his experiences during the war, as many do not. He was proud of his uniform and medals /1

If someone says that the fight for 2SLGBTQI+ equality is over, just think how often a queer student is bullied, or a trans person is attacked.

We’ve come a long way, but we have work to do – to make Canada a safer, more inclusive place.

#PronounsDay

[Canadian Civil Liberties Association @cancivlib]

Today (Oct 18th) is #InternationalPronounsDay – a day about respecting, normalizing and educating on the use of personal pronouns.

Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Everyone should have the freedom to be their authentic selves and have their correct pronouns respected.

Using someone’s correct pronouns isn’t just a courtesy, it is a core principle connected to liberty and dignity.

That is why we are challenging changes made to #Policy713 in #NewBrunswick that restrict many students from using their chosen pronouns in school.

Next week, on Oct 25, we will be in court to seek public interest standing as a first step in this court challenge #PronounDay #Policy713 #nbpoli #cdnpoli

@chorkins @adamgoldenberg @AndrewBernstei9 The AG does not practice law. Being advised by lawyers does not give someone the skills or training required to practice law. The NS AG is not a lawyer, and ought not have a license to practice law. Doesn’t mean its not an important position but the two are not the same.

@joethorneYYT I agree! @hilary_book and her team did an incredible job highlighting the problem and some beginnings to solutions!

Tina Turner on Larry King Live in 1997 on why she decided to leave the United States for good, establishing her home in Europe. By 2013, after living in Switzerland for 20 years she renounced US citizenship. Black Americans expatriating isn’t new, especially throughout the 1900s.
