Democracy requires defending but systems of power don't give up easily.

Wishing everyone immense safety and community care today ✊💛

Leave your phone at home ideally and if not, remove facial recognition passwords and put it on airplane mode!

Tell trusted people where you'll be but tell them to STFU if the cops call them!

Document brutalities but don't post the faces of comrades!

Wear sturdy, closed toe shoes you can run in!

I'm so happy to hear you are getting Nuit Blanche back! It's my absolute favorite city event (and thankfully #Winnipeg keeps going strong).

Please help amplify this to help us reach as many Indigenous #academic folks as possible!

The new Indigenous Scholars will be connected to a growing community in other departments and health sciences programs.

They can supervise graduate students in more than one program through cross-listing.

I haven't lived in Ottawa for a decade and I immediately remember Paulette. May her memory be a blessing.

Absolutely. This is politics, not good policy.

My gut sense is that she is a separatist, given how much she refuses Canadian identity and her primary identity, and her rhetoric matches that (the feds are always the enemy).

But yes, I think politics is her sport, so to speak.

"It distracts her voters from focusing on her own government’s failures, which range from failing healthcare and education systems and numerous corruption scandals to one of the highest unemployment rates in the country."

But thanks to a charity mindset, it wasn't treated as an urgent problem to solve.

Maybe the anger about the new system not running frequently enough & early/late enough will shake us/Council out of it. But I think we need to vote only for people who get why great transit is essential next fall.
