It was an emotional night if you are an NDP supporter but none of the parties walked away getting exactly what they wanted. Listen in on our last election panel.

Many thanks to CBC and my co-panelists. It’s been great to do this weekly political panel with you.

And that's a wrap. Our fourth and final CBC London Morning Political Panel. host @browncbc.bsky.social, @shawnalewk.bsky.social, Nathan Caranci and I talk: Is Pierre Poilvievre seat at risk?, Advance Polls, Donald Trump is back, Sign Wars, local campaigns and more. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Thanks to @shawnalewk.bsky.social mentioning the Greens exclusion from the debates on the CBC political panel w/ @browncbc.bsky.social. Each election I/we are pressured to drop out & not split the vote. This is why I don't agree; our voices are silenced & democracy suffers. #cdnpoli #elxn45 #ldnont

Week 3 of CBC’s London Morning Political Panel. T minus 18 days. Joe Preston, @shawnalewk.bsky.social and I join @browncbc.bsky.social to talk: The doldrums/ ground hogs days for local candidates, la grande orange to the south, slogans changing faster than socks and more! www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Thx Carol. To expand, attending debates and being available to the media (not just on your terms) is being accountable to the people you want to represent. Avoiding either means your campaign is about you and your quest for power. Yes I’m talking about the Conservatives. #cdnpoli

Are you seeing claims or accusations out there — from any party, about any party? — that you're not sure what to make of? Let us know! @emilybaroncadloff.bsky.social and @rachelgilmore.bsky.social are on it 👇

This conference aims to inspire young women and non-binary youth to realize their leadership potential and become changemakers in their communities. If you are or know young female-identifying and/or non-binary folx interested in attending, please share with them www.kings.uwo.ca/about-kings/...

“Transport officials need a radically new framework for undrstndg the mobility needs of women + caregivers in our cities – and a good place to start is reimagining the "mobility hubs" where so many of their journeys begin,” says a new report. Feminist geographers have been studying this for decades!

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.

As an advocate I'm never surprised when horrible things happen. But I'm always shocked. That's why I keep fighting. If you lose the capacity to be shocked, you lose the ability to be human. Don't.

Here is the article. I have an update that at the committee meeting today, City of London staff agreed to open the Gibbons Park washrooms year round, likely beginning early in the new year when staff are in place.

I was able to share some of my research on parks and access to good quality public toilets today on CBC London Morning. My research looks primarily at gendered access but I didn’t get a chance to talk about the impact on unhoused people, which is also gendered.
