Thanks to everyone who came out to my training today!

Next one is Dec 6 @ noon EST to mark Canada’s National Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence against Women.

Dec 6 honours the 14 women killed at École Polytechnique & reminds us to fight misogyny in all its forms.

In other news, I am a highly educated and accomplished person and I've been laughing at this dumb meme for a day straight.

J'offre une formation gratuite le 25 novembre à midi (Ottawa) en français sur le rôle des témoins!

Le 25 novembre est la Journée internationale pour l'élimination de la violence à l'égard des femmes qui est une merveilleuse occasion pour apprendre les outils d’intervention!

It was so lovely spending the day in Huntsville, talking about equity, inclusion and the importance of community care!

Low key obsessed that the panelists were sitting in Muskoka chairs 😍

Wonderful, rainy evening last night spent listening to @milleridriss.bsky.social discuss her new book on misogyny and radicalization. Get a copy! It's such important work.

Things feel bleak most days but today, I got to visit Adrienne Clarkson Elementary in Richmond Hill where I shot videos with kids from grades 1-6 on the importance of respecting consent and building healthy relationships!

They were so empathetic and engaged. Can't help but feel hopeful!

Rape culture not only means generations of people harmed but also profound stupidity by its enablers.

They have this knee jerk reaction of screaming that women come forward for fame and fortune...

... and yet, there's automatic publication bans. Like, babe, what fame? You don't even know her name😂

We are not powerless in the face of rising hate, harassment and violence. If we take the time to learn effective de-escalation and intervention skills, we CAN keep each other safe.

Give me 1 hour of your time and I'll teach you how. It's free and open to anyone aged 12+ ✊

Writers often refer to their books as their babies but unlike parents, there's no tradition of newborn photo shoots.

Anyway, as a femme, I say match your book to your heels because both are worth celebrating 🥂

"Toute résilience serait futile" is now available!

Muskoka! I'm coming your way this fall and would love to see you there. The lineup looks really rad!

I'll be giving a keynote on the importance of community care and then teaching a practical workshop on bystander intervention. Hope to see you there!

Today marks 10 years since Nathalie, Anastasia and Carol were murdered by a man they had rejected.

The misogynist was responsible for his actions but he was enabled by huge, massive system failures.

Please honour their memories today by reading the inquest report : www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ottawa ! Joignez-vous à nous!

Nous devons montrer à nos élus que « Nous atteindrons l'égalité une fois que nous aurons réglé les tarifs, équilibré le budget, etc.» est à la fois profondément offensante et témoigne d'une profonde méconnaissance des causes profondes des préjudices.
September 11, 2025 at 5:23 PM
Ottawa! Please spread the word!

We need to show our elected officials that "We'll get to equality once we figure out tariffs, balance the budget, etc." is all kinds of BS.

Ottawa's "Take Back the Night" march starts at Minto Park at 6pm that night and will meet up with this event on the Hill.

À bientôt!

There are so many awful things happening in the world right now and so many of us feel powerless to change anything.

But community care is a skill we can all learn. We CAN show up for each other when we see our fellow neighbours being targeted.

Let me teach you how!
