#MargareteSchütteLihotzky, #FrankfurtKitchen architect, pioneer in post WW1 housing "...insisted...the average worker benefits more from his kitchen sink than from the angel on his roof.” Yet true in today's housing crisis. #Right2Housing https://t.co/rCt1XiTcAK Via @jacobinmag

private telecommunications companies should not be running health care systems.

[Conan O'Brien @ConanOBrien]

We should refer to this period in history simply as “The Circumstances.”

As bad as this outage is in eastern Canada, imagine how much worse it would be if Rogers gets to control all of Shaw's internet infrastructure in the west. This is basically exhibit A in the case against industry consolidation.

[Avi B. @avijustin]

The fact that when Rogers goes out, it knocks out ATMs, Non cash payment abilities, 911 services, internet and mobile from almost all of Canada should be the warning sign that monopolies put Canadian citizens at unnecessary risk

More from Beverly Bains on how Black people didn’t ask for an apology

[Wendy Gillis @wendygillis]

.⁦@DesmondCole⁩: Our police have been gaslighting us for years. Says no one asked for an apology.

[Cllr Natasha Carlin @natashacarlin7]

5 years ago 72 people died because they were trapped in a government mandated death trap. 5 years later and we can’t forget their names. We must continue to fight for justice for them and their families. 💚💚✊��� #Justice4Grenfell

@ConorDougherty @smbahr14 Amazing piece. Thx. And most timely. Keep doing this.

Gem in @nytimes on #Nimby. Essential reading in #HousingForAll. Not just a privileged few who happened to be here before we turned up to spoil their picket fence neighbourhoods. Hope this is indeed the death of it. @ConorDougherty #HousingForAll https://t.co/ljZEvS6Keh

@gordperks hard to have a meaningful conversation about housing affordability in Canada without at least acknowledging this graph

I am Tenant Duty Counsel at the Landlord & Tenant Board Tribunal today. Duty counsel means I help Tenants who have no legal representation.

The LTB has scheduled me in 6 different rooms, with a total of 42 hearings, ALL starting at 9 AM.

This is an #AccessToJustice issue.

#HousingBubble #RtoH I used to think QE was quiet enjoyment. I'm going to name my next puppy #QuantitativeEase or may be not.

#Indigenous #Cdnlaw let us hope the demotion of @Carolyn_Bennett signalled no further appeals. But who knows. @JustinTrudeau @Puglaas

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

Today is the deadline for the federal government to appeal tow federal court decisions in the long-standing human rights case for First Nations children. They appealed an order on capital in September- hope there is not another @JustinTrudeau
