Hi Professor! Current Harvard Law student here & Palestinian. Hate to take the bait, but I do want to breakdown why this article is inaccurate & intellectually dishonest. Thread:

Canada ABSTAINED.
Years later when everyone’s piously saying “Never forget,” never forget this where Canada stands on this again and again.

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

Canada just ABSTAINED on an emergency resolution at the UN General Assembly calling for an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce leading to a cessation of hostilities” in Gaza. It passed with 120 votes in favour.

@Medusaschile @UjuAnya @ThomasWillett9 We engage in these rituals despite knowing their inherent sexism bc we don’t possess the power to eradicate patriarchal oppression and just want to be able to make our existence safer and/or easier. I don’t begrudge any oppressed person for just trying to just live.

[Jay Pitter @Jay_Pitter]

Every woman who’s been a “first” anything—especially women w/ lived experience of concurrently navigating gender & racial discrimination—understands the kind of unfair scrutiny Olivia Chow will experience. So, I want to share a few thoughts about how we can be supportive.🧵

They have $22 billion in excess and yet they're still cutting the TDSB by over $50 million. These are choices being made by Ford.

Students are struggling and these cuts will have devastating impacts. Sign our petition to demand Ford stop the cuts: https://t.co/fcRsiVZzVM

1) When @fordnation proposes an idea for Toronto’s waterfront, you can be he will use the phrase ‘world-class’. No surprise, it’s one of the first phrases you find at the top of the government page on the #OntarioPlace redevelopment.

Let’s talk about ‘world-class’.

Will probably delete this but want to post for those who feel similar because it's maddening thinking you're the only one/one of very few. I am very sad about but making peace with the fact that romantic love is sthg that eludes some of us for reasons we cannot know or control.

@globeandmail Normalize renting by enabling renters to have comparable levels of security, wealth accumulation and community input as owners

[Birgit Umaigba-Omoruyi @birgitomo]

Okay, Ontario, we mustn't take our attention off Doug Ford and his daughter taking money from developers to destroy the #Greenbelt. We cannot afford to be distracted by John Tory.

Doug Ford is the real scandal.

The road to @nuitblancheTO 2022 is on! Artscape Daniels Launchpad is so pleased to be taking part in this year’s event, featuring a lineup of 13 incredible artists, who will be exploring the theme of ‘The Space Between Us.’

Multiple emergency departments in Toronto are on the verge of collapse tonight.
There are no nurses. They are begging people with no nursing training to act as nurses.
Care will be compromised.
But they won't declare an official emergency (presumably to save face?)

[More Neighbours Toronto @MoreNeighbours]

A great piece in the @SCMirror by @Jamaal4ScarbTO connecting exclusionary zoning and lack of multitenant housing regulations to worse outcomes for Scarborough and it’s families.

Give it a read!

If a family now needs $97,468 a year to afford a house mortgage (up from $63,956 one year ago) ... then we should be building 2 and 3 bedrooms apartments that are designed FOR families

Not just for roommates.

Residents group killed this cute little cafe on the QUIET AND SERENE AVENUE ROAD because of traffic and noise concerns. Can you imagine renovating and buying equipment just to get fucking nixxed by the biggest killjoys in the city??? Disgusting. https://t.co/eNpfZ2UguF
