One of the enraging aspects of MAGA-influenced public discourse, not only in the US but also in Canada, the EU & elsewhere, is that we've retrogressed on the idea of people having the right to define their own (often complex) identities. We're back to defining people by name, ethnicity & birthplace.

Transported from Eurasia, phragmites crowd out native plants and reduce biodiversity. They are considered one of the worst invasive plant species in Canada.

#CanadaSky, why isn't the quoted post getting more engagement? It's the elephant in the room—our room. If we don't push back, we'll lose our nation to them exactly like the Americans. Don't underestimate the threat. Write to your MP & MLA. Make some noise. Anything is better than polite silence.

"Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers"

This evening I attended a Q&A by Marcello Di Cintio, hosted by Biblioasis Bookshop. His book "Precarious" discusses the horrific exploitation of migrant workers in Canada.

Info on Mr. Di Cintio's book can be found here:
