I believe in science, coffee & karma. @armchairathlete adjacent. Higher education is my jam. If I swear, trust that I am beyond mad.... usually at Doug Ford, Trump, or by some unnecessary cruelty. Trump & Musk are Russian assets. #ElbowsUp Canada

It’s been an emotional week - Orange Shirt Day, Dr. Jane’s passing, and our run/walk/roll to help finish Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope.
Fundraising has been tough this year.
These are not easy times.
But if you can, please consider making a donation to the foundation on behalf of a local school.

Google, Home Depot, Nissan, Adidas and Clorox have announced their plans to abandon funding for Pride Toronto.
“These are American companies and they are showing their true colours,” says Pride head Kojo Modeste.
Hey, it’s their money but they won’t be getting mine and I have a *long* memory 👎🏼

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

I lived in South Africa for six years. The concept of white *Afrikaaner* South Africans being flown to the U.S. as "refugees" is more outrageous than you can imagine. 🤯😡

As a Canadian I have to say it’s kinda surreal to log onto Bluesky and regularly be greeted by a wall of horrifying new updates from American users about their country’s descent into fascism

So it’s Friday night and Rumeysa Ozturk is out on bail, Ras Baraka is in Homeland Security custody, and Stephen Miller is casually toying with suspending habeas corpus. Do I have that right?

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.
They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

First they came for the toys.
Then they came for the pencils.
Today they came for the books.
Next they’ll come for your music.
Then they’ll come for your TV and movies.
Even tell you who to pray to.
Then they’ll come for your individuality.

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

Watch (in 3 parts) @davidwcochrane.bsky.social slay the sweaty, stuttering demon on live TV today on #PnPCBC as he takes Scheer to task on his lies. It’s so infuriating watching a politician disinform so brazenly but so refreshing watching the media do their job so effectively. Bravo. (1/3)
