When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand.

They see Canada, and the best of our values.

Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

This book has been on my shelf for a while. Now felt like the perfect time to jump in. Halfway through and it’s living up to the hype. I’m surprised how quick it is to read 💙📚 #currentlyreading
Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Once more, for the folks at the back:

Children are not widgets.

Schools are not factories.

Education is not a business.

Saving money is not the ultimate goal of education.

Education is an INVESTMENT in our collective future.

Not a book I would typically choose for myself but I’m really enjoying how the stories weave together, with just a hint of a mystery in the background. And the house as a narrator 💯

Stopping at 11… I have a bunch more that I read more recently, but I want to give time to see if they leave a lasting impression.

I’m reading The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine now. I wasn’t sure how I felt at the start (bit expected and blah) the the switch half though… wow!! Can’t wait to finish it now.

I would love for these pieces to be easier to find. They make me feel hopeful. Seeing the ‘rage-bait’ opinion pieces has the opposite effect 😕
“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
