The ongoing protests in our city can feel overwhelming, no matter where you are, but especially for those living downtown. It's ok not to be ok.
Please reach out to loved ones to talk; you are not alone. The Ottawa Distress Centre is available 24/7 at 613-238-3311. (1/2)

Canadians who have been vaccinated with one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine can socialize with close family and friends outdoors over the summer months, Canada's chief public health officer says. https://t.co/OyexxvnifW @JPTasker

’Biased algorithms represent the most dramatic potential pitfall, but the entire data lifecycle is ripe for missteps, from planning and data collection to analysis and reporting. each misstep is magnified when data is integrated across multiple agencies.’ https://t.co/NN7uYQXDEY

Actually this means they’re *not* “embracing gender equality” https://t.co/kbzyuJBjLF

Bridging the gender gap in STEM is vital to a better future, yet #WomenInScience continue to be underrepresented, undervalued & discriminated.

Change begins now, with #GenerationEquality.

Research shows when women exhibit character traits typically associated with male leadership, they are likely to be viewed as bossy. And when they exhibit qualities traditionally expected of women, they are perceived as not "tough enough." https://t.co/K9LmHDCxzc #leadership

Miriam Ziegler was nine years old when Russians liberated the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz.
She is going back to honour those who did not make it out — and to remind the world what unchecked hate can do. https://t.co/21LhuNUDQK @SusanBonner

I find this article incredibly frustrating. Stop putting the problem on the women - the problem is a system that discriminates against people that are non-male and non-white. We need to fix the system, not the individual. https://t.co/eMzmrUCHf4 via @McKinsey

This is a tactic that will only encourage the most privileged to run. High party fees stop women from running as they often have bigger obstacles in gaining access to financing - Canada needs to do better to get women into politics https://t.co/HcrwEakowx

We need to work on the roots of these issues - not just try to cover it up with AI and make it worse 🙃
