@Torontoborn72 @fox_e_laurence Really? Because I had people scream in my face today and call me things I won’t repeat. A little boy gave me the finger. Hate is taught and it was out in full force today.

@ArdathJean There were children where I was too. One little boy gave my wife and I the finger. Hate is taught 😞

The rise of hate towards the 2SLGBTQI+ community is deeply alarming.

All people deserve safety and freedom to be who they are.

Today and every day, New Democrats stand with the trans community in solidarity.

[Mark Sutcliffe @_MarkSutcliffe]

As Mayor of Ottawa, I condemn any form of discrimination or hatred. Members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community have the right to live free from harassment and bigotry.

I respect the right to protest, however the specific targeting of 2SLGBTQIA+ children for being who they are, has no place in our city. The protests taking place today will only cause harm to youth who are looking for our support and acceptance.

I stand with Ottawa’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Please know that you are valued and are always welcome here.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country – you are valid and you are valued.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Transgender and non-binary Canadians: You matter. Your lives matter. And we’ll keep working – on #TransDayOfVisibility and every day – to make sure you can live your life as your true and authentic self. You deserve nothing less than that. 🏳️‍⚧️

@6yLanie @Meta No, not yet!

[Danielle MacKinlay @Sibrarian]

@Meta my Facebook and Messenger accounts (active since 2007!) are hacked and the hacker violated community standards and my account is now disabled. I can’t log in or access any help functions. Please help!

[Danielle MacKinlay @Sibrarian]

@jurneehometeam @Meta Exact same here, same name. So maddening.

[Danielle MacKinlay @Sibrarian]

@jurneehometeam @Meta No luck whatsoever. Apparently a really common hacker thing that’s been happening for 2+ years but really ramped up. Is your user name changed also? I’m digging into some solutions on Reddit but it’s a long process :((

[Danielle MacKinlay @Sibrarian]

@MollyKSaunders @Meta I don’t know, and now all these scam accounts commenting!

@Franguil @dr_abela During the pandemic many of us regional folks were able to finally access NCR opportunities and gain experience. I had two assignments and a deployment. Prior to that was in the same role for 15 years.

[Danielle MacKinlay @Sibrarian]

@dr_abela @Franguil Thank you!! Signed, a regional… ninja?

[Danielle MacKinlay @Sibrarian]

@CroftonSteers @dr_abela I’ve seen “information Sherpa” 😅

[Danielle MacKinlay @Sibrarian]

@Tina_Varvaresos @andeepittmanux Ah that’s very true. I was lucky that I was assigned a desk.

[Danielle MacKinlay @Sibrarian]

@Tina_Varvaresos @andeepittmanux I spruced mine up a bit with some fun paper from a craft store. I’ll add some of my kids’ drawings and such. This is also my first time in a cubicle in my nearly 20 years in the PS. Now I get it 😂
