It only took 7 centuries, but they finally did it. Convenient, after everything was taken. At least courts might now be less inclined to use it as an excuse for the legitimation of theft. https://t.co/11Zp5wYTOM

@Amakamok @MelissaMbarki The film is 50 minutes, and it's here: https://t.co/Gl1sA1eT3N

@Amakamok @MelissaMbarki It was you who wanted to see the film before talking. It's a resource - with documents, Elders and historians -all talking about what you want to fight, not talk, about-the pass system. If you want further info, I offered it to you. You can also repeat all the research yourself.

[Alex Williams @AWCine]

@Amakamok @MelissaMbarki Clear you don't understand what an Elder is, and this may not be a good idea to have this chat I offered you after all, as it seems you are just into conflict. This platform encourages that, over actual dialogue and understanding based on facts, and it seems you took the bait.

[Alex Williams @AWCine]

@Amakamok @MelissaMbarki @Amakamok I presume at this point you haven't seen it? You can hear from Elders, some of the most respected historians in the country, and as might have noticed - the Canadian Encyclopedia article came out after the film, and references it.

@Amakamok @MelissaMbarki https://t.co/Gl1sA1fqTl. Let me know once you’ve seen it.

Please help find Dawn and her son.

@JustinWolfers @CNN @PamelaBrownCNN @asdomash Just heard you on @CNN suggesting that people keep 3-6 months of savings to keep food on the table. I'm not sure how 37.5M Americans who are living under the poverty line can do this. Perhaps you can explain. An economist should have a more fulsome consideration of poverty.

@Ian_Mosby @otipemsiw A real honour to be in conversation with you and such a great group of students!

[Alex Williams @AWCine]

@claudia_sicon That was such a dude non apology, typical and toxic. Unacceptable. The joke was offensive, but there’s no excuse.

[Alex Williams @AWCine]

@csmith416 @rich_mustang @gordperks Actually, harassment has been going on for some time. https://t.co/3bhZOhqxc0

[Alex Williams @AWCine]

@imchrischang @gordperks They are short staffed. And overworked. For us. And (rhetorical) what do you think it means when they take their precious time off to demonstrate?

[Alex Williams @AWCine]

I'm going to this counter protest tomorrow in support of health care workers. Noon, Medical Science Building, King's College Circle. Health care workers should not have to defend themselves from harassment and bullying when they are on the front lines of this pandemic.

[Alex Williams @AWCine]

@AARNO_XXII @SmithIsNotOrigi @ev0l Bad and disrespectful comparison. I made the film about the pass system. You are not being confined to reserves based on your race, not a public safety measure to save lives from a deadly virus.

[Alex Williams @AWCine]

@renate_siekmann @renate_siekmann @MaximeBernier This article came out after the release of my film The Pass System. I invite you to watch it on @cbcgem - but you shouldn't have to: as Chief @terry_teegee has said, comparisons between this system and pandemic restrictions are deeply offensive.

[Alex Williams @AWCine]

@abraaten @thevivafrei @JustinTrudeau @liberal_party Hi Aaron, I’m the director of this film. The systems are not the same. You are not being segregated and confined because of your race, nor being prevented from seeing your kids in residential school. Disrespectful comparison.
