This. This is not democratic discourse. This is schoolyard fabulation. When grown ups use their political office to spread this kind of unadulterated bullshit the real victim is the institutions that keep our democracy glued together. This is an attack on our system. /1

@RevDaniel @davidgate Beautiful and so true. Thank you for sharing this.

What happened to Nex Benedict is going to haunt me. That they were non-binary shouldn’t even be an issue. A child was killed by hateful individuals at their school, and they were left to suffer unattended because they were failed by the adults who were in a position to do better, do right by them.

A child, with a good heart and hopes and dreams - just wanting to exist in this world. A child who had parents and friends who loved and supported them.

My heart breaks for Nex. my soul is crushed by the unimaginable cruelty they endured. I cry for the injustice that is sure to come their family’s way as those with black hearts and vacuous souls feel emboldened to dismiss, ignore and make light of.

What the fuck has happened to humanity? How did we get to this place of apathy? As a parent, a mom, a human, I am crying out loud in pain. One that won’t be acknowledged or recognized or heard because the naysayers speak louder.

The voices amplified by a media that has chosen to dismiss and ignore what is happening before all of our eyes. Choosing to side with the fascists and not give the recognition and respect deserved of the marginalized…

Thread 🧵on Doug Ford's ties to the international student scandals at Ontario's colleges, which also intersects with the foreign influence scandals.

Let's dive into Doug Ford and St. Clair College...

The CPC called bill C-18 censorship. Now news agencies in Canada will be compensated by Google to the tune $100M per year for Canadian news content.

Whoops.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

- John McCrae, May 3, 1915.

Vote-splitting is only an issue because we still use first-past-the-post.

It's time for proportional representation so we can finally end vote-splitting.

Love the way this is presented! It's so easy to be frightened and look away - a call for collaborative action with everyone using the skills they have to contribute toward a better future. Have a look:
