"Poilievre has spent the summer speaking about housing affordability ... but the only proposal seeking to address that issue did not make it to the final plenary vote." However, the CPC did vote on transphobic, anti-vax, and climate change denial policies. https://t.co/YlGH9kjs7G

It's a ☀️ 𝙨𝙪𝙣-sational ☀️ announcement: 10 city-operated outdoor pools will stay open until Sept 24!

Pools normally shut down after Labour Day despite good weather and a need to cool off. By extending the operating hours, families will be able to enjoy the pool on warm days!

This is why you go into public service: so that someday, you can threaten to sue a beer company for giving a beer can to someone you don’t like.

Many people want us to be ashamed that we may have secured a spot at selective schools because of affirmative action, but the shame is on the society that has so much wealth and yet so much inequality, where access and not ambition too often determines your opportunities.

This story is being used to spread misinformation and deny the horror of residential schools. As the author, I wanted to express my disappointment at this and offer some notes.🧵1/7

I wrote this.

Father’s Day can be a pretty tough one for a lot of us. And this year I put some thoughts to paper about holding on to the memory of my dad.

Higgs: gender dysphoria has become "popular and trendy. ... We have a population that's growing because there's such acceptance that this is fine."

Some of us are smart enough not to be used by bigots who don’t care about women’s sports at all — except for when they can punch down at other people. I support trans athletes. The beauty of sports is that it gives people a sense of belonging. Trans athletes are not a burden on women’s sports.

The people who don’t see female athletes as deserving of equitable treatment and investment is far worse for women’s sports than anything else.

To the kids out there who can’t have a Pride flag at their school:

This flag will always fly high in your Nation’s Capital, and it flies for you. 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
