@CBCRaffy @CandiceBergenMP Are they saying “Booooo!” or “Booergen!”?

[Judy Trinh @judyatrinh]

For me, there's something unsettling about the sight of a Black police chief being undone by a group of predominantly white men flouting laws.
A long thread on the tensions within the OPS that may shed light on what action is and isn't being taken.

Things I, a white, straight, christian lady, have learned from the “freedom” convoy in Ottawa this week: A Thread...

Remember when Punjabi truckers took to the roads last year to show support for the farmers protests & pple were like “wow they are blocking hwy traffic” but now a very diff group of truckers are seen as a “powerful protest movement.” See how that discourse conveniently changes👀

Word snippet of the day: ‘goodbye’ is a shortening of ‘God be with ye’, once a traditional farewell.

‘Howdy’ is from ‘how do ye [do]?’, and ‘wotcher’ is from ‘what cheer?’, a popular greeting from the 15th century meaning ‘how are you?’.

Emma Raducanu will earn $2.5M for winning the US Open. It's the same amount the men's singles winner gets.

Know why?

Because in 1972, @BillieJeanKing threatened to boycott the tournament unless women were paid the same as men.

She won.

This is a good point.

When anti-vaxxers cite their freedoms, constitutional rights, and–the whitest thing of all–the Founding Fathers to rail against vaccine mandates, do they know what they're talking about?

What if I told you this happens EXACTLY every 100 years?

“It’s important that 80 per cent of the chiefs across Canada are men and they elected me, and that to me speaks to the change that is happening.”

RoseAnne Archibald addressed the media following her election as the new national chief of the Assembly of First Nations.

The Canadian Catholic Church was obliged to pay $25 million as part of the residential school settlement agreement.
They walked away on the deal.
They refuse to apologize.
They refuse to pay.
They refuse to turn over names of the perpetrators of abuse.

Since everyone is talking about CPR these days, I think this is the perfect time to narrate this story.

In 1880’s the body of a young girl was found in the River Seine in Paris. Her body showed no signs of physical injury, so it was suspected to be death due to suicide.

This is damn near impossible. It's like asking: "Can you briefly explain how the universe works?"

However, there are some things people should know.

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that.

As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵
