Montreal!! If you are outraged by the 215 Indigenous youth found at the Kamloops residential school, then join us! There will be a commemorative drumming tonight at 7 pm at Jeanne Mance park. We will meet at the statute and then near the trees. Bring your drums. Please share

Rest In Power George Floyd.
And.
We have so more work to do, and I mean we/us white folks.
Black people will not be safe until police forces are defunded and resources are re-invested in the well-being and safety of Black communities.

Somehow we weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
There is always light
if only we're brave enough to see it
if only we're brave enough to be it.

Never will get used to the beauty of a Canadian child being born.

#Quebec’s religious minorities aren’t "complaining” about Legault’s plan, they’re simply pointing out the hypocrisy of a gov’t that claims to be secular, yet the only holiday it chose to bend over backwards to accommodate was coincidentally Christmas. That’s all. #catholaïcité

It‘s not radical to want a government that guarantees a decent life for every single person in our country.

If you watch anything this morning - watch this. This is heartbreaking. 💔 This is Canada. Beetabun Moonias from #Neskantanga First Nation is us and we are her.

She is currently in Thunder Bay due a water crisis in her community. Thank you @solmamakwa for sharing this. #cdnpoli

Keep calm. Be patient. Allow local elections officials to do their jobs. What is most important isn’t the speed of the count; it’s that every eligible vote is counted. Americans made their voices heard in record numbers, and their votes must be counted. #Election2020

Race does not determine health outcomes –– racism does.

latest @TorontoStar with @SemirBulle and Suzanne Shoush.

policymakers can no longer feign shock or surprise at racism’s devastating toll –– any failure to act will only deepen this damning divide.

There was an anti mask demonstration downtown today and honestly hearing 40 something men yell “my body my choice” made me laugh out loud

The mortgage interest deduction literally makes the same home cheaper for a rich person than for a poor person.

If your vote didn’t matter so much, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to keep you from voting.

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

the covid alert app is a great thing–– if you can afford it. any rollout of apps/vaccines needs to be grounded in health equity–– so those who need the protection/support most can get it. hope @Apple and @Google fix this fast –– and invest meaningfully in communities hardest hit.
