In a precedent-setting decision that will have implications across Ontario, a judge has denied a municipality’s request to remove an encampment on the basis that doing so – when there is no adequate indoor space – violates the residents’ Charter rights https://t.co/jMmnjpq1jm

Disappointed that someone took my @cmckenney sign from my lawn this morning and planted an @_MarkSutcliffe in its place. Seems a bit desperate and certainly not democratic. You can’t swap my vote though, I’m backing @cmckenney for Mayor this Monday

There's a lot of talk about how abolition is impractical, abolitionists don't have ideas for what to do about crime right here and now, and about how "police are necessary." So here's a thread with examples of cities implementing non-police responses as we speak. 🧵

Lebanon declaring a 3-day mourning period for the queen of England is so embarrassing because not only are we mourning a colonizer we’re mourning a colonizer who didn’t even colonize us

@wickdchiq how many black women broadcasters said they got excluded/fired/told off for wearing their natural hair yet not one word was heard from their white sisters? this discourse is white women’s business and they should go ahead and get on with it w/o feeling any need to handwave at us.

not enough women over 50 work as columnists, that much is apparent. no disrespect to vinay menon or kevin newman but this lisa laflamme situation is a particular experience of misogyny. when and where are the ladies testifying?!

No one walks into the debate over language in Quebec unscathed. Francos, anglos and allophones all know what it's like to feel unwanted or unwelcome in their own home. Multiply that by 1,000 for Indigenous people. I don't know if I have it in me to write about this anymore.

The Washington Post's article on the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh is probably the best I've read from a Western media outlet. It is complete with a location fact-check and numerous eye-witness accounts. This is how it's done: https://t.co/ZGioGZRLkA

Hey @mec @patagonia @Arcteryx @stormtech1977 @lululemon
I'm the CEO for a national Indigenous led organization - we're bringing 40+ Indigenous Aunties from around the globe to Haida Gwaii for some connection and solidarity building - we're in need of some no cost/low cost gear
