This is appalling.
"Why would it bow to antidemocratic pressures by placing a professor on leave without their request, consent, or involvement? That any university would do this is beyond comprehension and is cause for alarm about the future of academic freedom in Canada."

When we won marriage equality at the Supreme Court in 2015, it was the culmination of decades of advocacy from the queer community.
Families across the country have built their lives around the landmark ruling that affirmed our freedom to marry — and we’ll defend that right no matter what.

One thing that I was thought was revealing about the divisions within Canada:
When Carney acknowledged Poilievre's hard work on his campaign in his victory speed, the crowd of Liberals cheered.
When Poilievre mentioned Carney in his concession speech, there was loud booing.

I used to be a massive NDP supporter all my life. The way that @jagmeetsingh.ca won’t stop talking over people is not what I want my NDP leader to act like. You’re doing it wrong and the polls and showing it. Stop attacking, it’s why the NDP have fallen so far.

I think there should be live fact checking in terms of votes for bills cause everyone calling out PP and then SEEING the proof would be just great to illustrate the hypocrisy of what comes out of his mouth.
Honestly, Mark Carney has been the most adult in the room.

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches?
Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
