Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read.
As is Brave New World.
1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger.
This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action.
Perhaps a public book burning will reassure the base.

Residents are really struggling this afternoon. If anyone can do a drop off of water or ice in the next hour that would be amazing.
As the heat wave continues, residents of the encampment at 100 Victoria St. N. In Kitchener are asking for bottles of clean water and ice. Large blocks of ice like those frozen in clean margarine tubs are appreciated, as they last longer than ice cubes/bags of ice.

Thank you in advance!

Younger people have never seen the effects of those diseases. Anyone who worked with adults with disabilities back then (like I did) knew what it did. Healthy children who became deaf or brain damaged or unable to walk. Why would anyone take that risk with their own children?

“I’m gay, give me free stuff this month. “

Not a good look says this gay man.

Pride is not (supposed to be) about that.

I didn’t wave a flag in the 1990s to earn swag- I did it to earn the right to do it and other things without being beaten to death or arrested.

Laura on #Bill5 and she is soooooooo right.
#DipshitDoug can't be trusted as far as you could throw him.
Listen to Laura ⤵️
“Ford can’t be trusted because of scandals like Ontario Place, Science Centre, Staples, LCBO! Are these new ‘economic zones’ in #Bill5 just an end run to develop the Greenbelt?”

Ontario we must stop Ford’s Big Bad #Bill5 before it’s too late!

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live.

If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.
