On this #RemembranceDay, I highly recommend this novel set in #WWW1 about a group of women who helped rebuild villages in France near the frontlines; in particular a #Librarian who brought children’s libraries to France. These women knew libraries help build #Community. #Peace

It is interesting how whenever I raise Bernie's (frankly terrible) record on immigration, people who call themselves leftists immediately jump into my mentions and start spewing right wing anti-immigrant talking points.

Buried in the Doug Ford govt's fall budget are changes that would remove parts of Wasaga beach from provincial protection. As I reported in August, those parts are 60% of the world’s longest freshwater beach and the main nesting area for the endangered piping plover: thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

My heart breaks for this child. This is what the 92% of Black women voters warned about in 2024. Trump tapped into and emboldened the racism, sexism, and hatred in America. Too many POC bought into that, too. Now that the brutal takedown of people is being broadcast, the cruelty can't be ignored. 🫖
Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”
