@ilonadougherty Thanks for the mention! Hope it complicated understandings of youth participation and it’s potential to belong to exclusionary mechanisms

"While Min Lecce continues to rest political ambitions on fiction that schools r safe from #COVID spread recent words & actions of health experts tell us otherwise. It's time the gov’t moved 2 remote learning in hotspot areas until educators r vaccinated" - @HarveyBischof #Onted

While politicians take a knee or offer words (without action) about how #BlackLivesMatter, these are the housing conditions faced by some Caribbean migrant farmworkers in Ontario.

Twelve men bunked in a room. Separated by pieces of cardboard. In the midst of a pandemic.

@amanda_parris Thanks Amanda for saying what needed to be said! It is so painful to see the tragedies repeat and the knee jerk reactions to appease the crowd continues! The challenge lies in countering with system changing ideas and it has to come from those on the ground!

[Amanda Parris @amanda_parris]

I wrote about how this city loves to repeat the same failed strategies. I wrote about a generation that spent their 20's fighting for their communities only to be forgotten. I wrote about the "professional grant getters" who saved lives.
