“For some people there exists a hierarchy of “deserving” victims — the idea deep down inside that some lives matter less.” My latest for @CultMTL. #RefugeesWelcome#racism#Ukraine#AfricansinUkraine
Our reactions to Ukraine’s suffering are very telling https://t.co/Bn47QY2WwF
Notably, from an associate prof of law at uOttawa: "When an Indigenous group is blockading a train from passing, they're going to tell you that they're breaking the law to achieve a certain thing...Most of these guys downtown, they don't believe they are breaking the law."
"Losing Touch, beautifully illustrated with drawings by Elizabeth Adams, is a moving testament to the distanced, sometimes surreal, and melancholic unwelcome new normal we are still navigating two years later."
A review of Losing Touch by @roughghosts. Thank you!
@ToulasTake I hope it makes you feel better to know I forwarded your piece to a whole bunch of friends and they all thought it was excellent, and that you hit the nail exactly on the head. Thank you, Toula.
@Aaron_Derfel I'm appalled at this figure of 80% of deaths occurring at home, especially since most are very elderly. What does this say to us about the society, about our health care system, about political leadership?
@inactualite@Aaron_Derfel And also, are other provinces counting people who entered the hospital for other reasons, got COVID or tested positive, but perhaps died of something else, as COVID deaths?
