A 🧵on how #HazelMcCallion let me spend the afternoon with her at City Hall when I was just 11 years old.
In grade 5, I wrote for my school’s paper. After watching Disney’s Earth, I wanted to write about environmentalism in #Mississauga. So I sent a certain someone an email.
We ran into each other many times after that. In 2014, when the Balkans were hit by floods, our local Serbian church gathered aid to help our families back home. Hazel came to visit us and helped us package the supplies.
David Onley to me is always first and foremost the City Pulse news journalist I grew up watching every day.
Well before my Dad's disabilities in his 40s, David formed my first solid impressions of people with disabilities. I feel like i've lost a dear friend today😭
🧵 As Serbs living in North Kosovo* protest @albinkurti’s government for an 18th consecutive day, the ONLY excuse we’ve heard from Pristina for intimidating Serb protestors with fully-armed special forces and their threats to use force against them is the protestors’ barricades.
All #Serbs on social media need to band together to bring attention to the rising tensions and continuing oppressions of our people in their homeland of KiM.
Dangerous escalation - open persecution of his holiness the Patriarch of the Serbian Ortodox Church by Kosovo* authorities. Kosovo Police has just prevented his holiness the Patriarch from entering Kosovo* at Merdare crossing.
FIFA has opened a disciplinary case against Croatia because of its fans' taunts aimed at Canadian goalkeeper Milan Borjan, who has Serbian family ties, during the teams' World Cup game. https://t.co/MQAtkFXOqN
@littleslovenian @YugoUnderground@CBCNews It’s a sign of his faith, it’s the equivalent of someone crossing themselves. Harmless. Shaqiri’s was clearly politically charged. Twisting a narrative to fit your agenda is gross
@YugoUnderground@CBCNews …a sign which stands for the holy trinity? which he did in response to the vile, fascist taunts? it was beyond classy and respectful of Milan. Take your deluded, historical revisionism elsewhere.
