Just reading @adamgrant.bsky.social Hidden Potential. So many takeaways. I liked the way he framed it in terms of character, scaffolding, systems. Individual and collective strategies, which is what we need to move forward. Plus, just love his writing.

Really important reading. Particularly liked the point about unpacking DEI to understand what they are against. Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. I certainly don’t want a Canada in opposition of those things. I want them at the centre.
In 2005, Poilievre voted against same sex marriage.
In 2008, he questioned compensating Indigenous residential school survivors.
In 2014, he achieved his only legislative accomplishment in the Harper government: passing a bill restricting voting rights.
