Yes, this is a very big deal!

[Mark MacKinnon @markmackinnon]

This would be a big deal - just ahead of the anniversary of the Aug. 9 election that most Belarusians believe @Tsihanouskaya won against Alexander Lukashenko…

[Mark MacKinnon @markmackinnon]

Earlier today, the Lukashenko regime said it was ending Belarus’s participation in the “Eastern Partnership” - a program to strengthen relations between the EU and several post-Soviet states. That appears to have backfired by opening the door for his rival to take his chair…

[Mark MacKinnon @markmackinnon]

Belarus provocatively makes Sept. 17 - the day in 1939 that the USSR invaded Poland - a national holiday. The Second World War saw formerly Polish cities like Grodno and Brest annexed to what is now Belarus…

[Mark MacKinnon @markmackinnon]

The Lukashenko regime’s brazen “hijacking” of a Ryanair flight - and its detention of a dissident journalist onboard - show sanctions haven’t worked. The West needs new tools if it hopes to see change in Belarus. My analysis https://t.co/f42kOEpD87

The deviation by Belarus and forced landing of a @Ryanair plane in Minsk and arrest of journalist Roman Pratasevich are a serious interference in civil aviation and a clear attack on media freedom. Canada calls on #Belarus to free Mr. Pratasevich.

While we're on a roll about vaccine #confidence, it's a good time to recall this poster - possibly the best shareable ever produced by @GovCanHealth. #VaccinesWork

A peculiar tactic in the dictatorship's playbook: fighting flags and songs. Another great article by @markmackinnon: Belarusian couple flagged for defiantly displaying Canadian flag /via @globeandmail https://t.co/j7fM7JXMEW

"The time is always right to do what is right." Today is #MLKDay and we're reflecting on his willingness to stand up for what he believed in. As communicators, Dr. King can teach us a lot. His I Have a Dream speech used sermons, speeches and events to inform, inspire and educate.
