Credit to the @theglobeandmail.com for their reporting during the ongoing conflict and genocide. “Israel says..” is not journalism. Though not perfect, only a few Western publications have brought unbiased, Palestinian perspectives to the forefront.

Canada needs to step up here too.
In a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world - doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc.
Young people should not have to go deeply into debt to get the education they and our nation need.
We must make public colleges tuition free.

@notion.com Love the new scheduling in Notion Calendar. Will you also add the ability to add participants/rooms so we can avoid conflicts across calendars? Very helpful as many meetings have a standard set of attendees/rooms.
