Dr. David Brennan spoke to CityNews Toronto on Canada's LGBTQ+ travel advisory for the US, and the risk of similar policies being adopted here. "There are considerations in various places across [Canada] about turning the tide back against LGBTQ+ people."

Talk of “parental rights” in education is a dog whistle for anti-LGBTQ ideologies.

If parents want to know information about their child, just ask your child. If they feel safe and supported, they will tell you. It’s that simple. #cdnpoli

I had registered to speak at the YCDSB meeting. Along with others, I was told the board had enough information to make their decision, so all deputations were canceled. Trustees voted 6-4 against their committee's recommendation to raise Pride flags at schools. Shame on them.

This data is very imp if you want to understand systemic anti-Black racism and it requires a whole thread. Surprise. there is very little difference in the % of Black people with a university degree vs. White people in Canada. https://t.co/PeeO8X3J3u https://t.co/xql09Y4KKT

In my Big Ideas articles in @macleans, I explain why such a bill is needed now. Specifically, I outline what the bill does (protect the public) and what it does not do (ban protest). Please read and share. 8/8 (end) https://t.co/Uf1IlT6b57

I urge the Ford government to come out and support my Bill. If adopted, the legislation would proactively increase safety and well-being for 2SLGBTQI+ Ontarians. Our safety and existence should never be up for debate. (end)

About growing hate in Canada, the 🏳️‍🌈 flag and why yes, we still need Pride in 2023. In the last week:

➡️ Students in Halifax burned the Pride flag at their high school,
➡️ Norwich, Ontario banned the Pride flag from any government property (inspiring other municipalities),

[Dr. Notisha Massaquoi @NotishaMassaqu1]

We need more nurses and family doctors. Will the tuition fees also be axed?
