I asked @grok to help me with my name and title as it was time to drop the coach moniker as I’ve been retired for 2 years now. My new passion is working outside on our little homestead and of course, continue to build and grow! 🐓🐓

@gregbradyx Yes, wear shorts. Who cares?

@divergentTea Which collectives do you feel are being ignored by the media?

@MacLeanWard2 What defines “quality education”?

For many, this is very expensive daycare and the student learns nothing but a forced routine.

@thereds8 @RichardCityNews It’s time for many Ontarian’s to have a Civics lesson.

[Squawk Box Steve 🍁🇨🇦 @SquawkBoxSteve]

@RichardCityNews A seasoned and respected reporter knows that using the term “summer break” will draw outrage when none is warranted.

@divergentTea The unions already know what’s coming. A deal won’t be reached. It will be legislated.

@ClydeDoSomethin @JackDan110 It’ll be funded heavily by taxpayers and somehow, drinking water on the float will be contaminated.

@RobCerjanec @einron This is illogical. BTW, Rob hasn’t spent a day with his constituents in Ajax.

@StreetNepean @TinaYazdani People who don’t know what MPP’s do is so annoying

[Squawk Box Steve 🍁🇨🇦 @SquawkBoxSteve]

@TinaYazdani He’s right. Nothing gets done in the House. It’s a useless exercise we pretend is democracy at work.

I was rooting for @Marner93 until his crying about Toronto.

Cheering for the @Canes

‼️ WHY are the Edmonton Police saluting the Pride flag?

And WHY are they raising the Khalistan flag in Winnipeg?

We are definitely in an alternate timeline.

Rachel Gilmore is an attention-seeking crank. It's not just about the misreported "mass grave" claim. In any case, that error "made in 6.5% of articles five years ago" was what caused Justin Trudeau to lower the flags on all federal buildings for more than 5 months.

Genius 🤣

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.

George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.

Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.

And we all know why.

During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.

They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.

And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.

This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.

This needs to stop.

I'm prepared to go to jail over this.

My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life.

My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma.

I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development.

I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child.

I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings.

Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences.

No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics.

The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate.

The path forward is empathy for past attendees.
The path forward is truth based on facts.
The path forward is real conversations.
The path forward is to lean into complexity.

If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations.

If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.

Asking for the truth to be told isn’t a ‘cooked conspiracy’ theory. There is no reconciliation without it.

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

This is a cooked conspiracy to undermine public confidence in important work, foment anti-Indigenous racism, and attack truth and reconciliation - the end game of residential school denialism: https://t.co/CcSCBOkbb4
