Last week, the Ont govt announced that psychologists will be getting prescription rights.

This next week, our psych college announced that in response to govt pressure, the new standard to be a
psychologist will be 1/3 of the training we currently require.

This needs to be public.

It's Transgender Day of Visibility, and I have mixed emotions. So I wrote something about it 😊

(this is the first in a series; the next one is in a few weeks and is about disinformation campaigns)

URGENT: students being told to self-deport because their visas are revoked. For issues as benign as a social media post. I'm disgusted and horrified.
Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.

The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.
