After all the heartbreak and horror of the world this week - a reminder of why Canada, and the idea of Canada, really matters. We aren’t trying to be great again - just trying to make a better country, every day. Sending this out with love and hope. #Canada #cdnpoli #ElbowsUp #Alberta #refugees

#SLCN (speech, Language and Communication Needs) are the most common SEND, but many continue to think of them as not that serious.
However in 2023-24 just 27.6% of those with SLCN achieved grades 4 and above in maths and English.
This needs to change!

Some men may downplay climate change risks to avoid appearing feminine
A new study finds that men who are anxious about their masculinity are less likely to care about climate change. They may view environmental concern as a feminine trait that threatens their image.

This 5-minute video is a good overview of what’s happening in Quebec around abortion with Bill 1 (and also Bill 2). Pro-choice advocates fear if Quebec writes abortion back into the law, even with the goal of protecting it, it could backfire — pointing to the U.S. as an example of what can go wrong.
Why are abortion rights in Quebec’s constitution when even pro-choice groups don’t want that?

Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny
As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?
