Anyone who thinks poor folks don't know how to budget, fundamentally doesn't understand how poverty works.

Please continue to be a voice at the Police Board. How was this handled so differently compared to the 3 week occupation? #systemicmisogyny

It's sad that after the Buffalo shooting, some Canadians be like "it doesn't happen here." A London Muslim family was murdered just for being Muslim. Elected politicians supported a convoy led by a white supremacist. We're seeing a record rise in hate crimes. IT DOES HAPPEN HERE.

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

What happened in a Buffalo grocery store can ABSOLUTELY happen in Canada because it already has.

Three generations of a Muslim family were killed in London, Ontario for simply going on a family walk by a white supremacist.

Being smug & gaslighting only helps white supremacists.

the ottawa police consistently make the strongest case for why we need to shift more funding to schools, housing and social programs for better health outcomes.

@CarolynMcC My heart aches for you all and I thank you for your vulnerability. May this be a treasured and meaningful time together❤️

every man who was out there with my body my choice about vaccines better bring that same energy to uphold roe v wade.

Did you know in Ontario, nearly 1 out of 15 young Black men have experienced jail time, compared to 1 out ~70 young white men?

As we come up on the second anniversary of the pandemic, the indispensability of human connection cannot be overlooked. Health impacts that result from a feeling of belonging are immeasurable and a clear indicator that health is not just a physical but a mental and social matter.

Losing an hour of sleep for a daylight savings change might feel like a section 7 violation, but it isn’t…

I'm sorry, I can't protect you.

How the world is treating Ukrainian refugees is how every refugee deserves the global community to treat them —— with dignity, kindness, and compassion.

if you choose to wear a mask indoors, you are not opposed to freedom. instead you might be aiding the freedom of someone who is immunocompromised to be there with you more safely.

@metromorning I will go to all businesses, regardless of their decision. As a small biz owner myself, I recognize the difficulties all are having to make to survive.

@KenobiJohn @ldbrochu @JeffreyLuscombe Feeling for you. Experiencing the same with a close family member…has become irrational and I had to set hard boundaries. She spends ++ time online (QAnon stuff, I think. Scary.

One way to be a disability justice ally right now:

Keep wearing your mask.

The sad irony: The "freedom" convoy actually had a lot of freedom...To travel across the country. To honk their horns all day & night. To party in hot tubs. To occupy Ottawa for 3 straight weeks.

Privilege is having freedom & having no clue that you have it.

[Alistair MacGregor @AMacGregor4CML]

After last 3 weeks, apparent that 2 things we need more of in schools:

1. Thorough historical examination of Holocaust so that people are never again making bullshit comparisons to it.

2. Civics - understanding federal/provincial jurisdiction, elections, Constitution, etc.
