I think it's really special that Facebook did to our parents what they thought video games were going to do to us.

As a generalist, the system requires that my skillset expand to fill the space left by others. At the same time, it devalues the skillset I use to do this work.

It’s an old playbook. Create chaos, remove validity from gov’t, create a demand for #authoritarian order, step in; OR force gov’t itself to use muscle, then yell Tyrant. Bingo, democracy doesn’t work! Enemies of it win. #blockades

Are protesters in Quebec going to also ask for Bill 21 to be repealed since they’re fighting for freedom? Asking for a friend.

WE'RE HOPEFULLY ALMOST DONE BUT... I'M STILL TIRED.

I’d like to point it out that I was recently at a protest in Dec. against #Bill21 that garnered just as much national and international attention as this thing in Ottawa and 0 ppl were assaulted and no one was threatened with sexual violence.

Thank you to Toronto City Council which unanimously approved my motion to once again express its opposition to Quebec Bill 21 and to authorize a contribution of $100,000 to assist with legal expenses.

1/ Today, another moment in history.

Mayor @patrickbrownont announced a motion put forward by the City of Brampton with the intention to have Canada’s Big Cities fund the legal challenge against #Bill21.

Hundreds of people gathered in Chelsea, Que. today to protest Bill 21 after a teacher was removed from a local classroom for wearing a hijab. https://t.co/a2genE4lJw

[Mat @core_mat]

Thanks to everyone that attended the rally in #Chelsea QC today to speak out against #loi21 and #systemicracism ⁦@francoislegault⁩ your law hurts all #quebecois and is a stain on #labelleprovince

[Gerald Butts @gmbutts]

So a bunch of 7 year olds lose their teacher and a young woman loses her job. Nice work by the politicians who made this law — and the politicians everywhere who are afraid to oppose it. Merry Christmas. Enjoy your legislated religious holidays. #Bill21
