Yet another attempt to isolate, harm and scapegoat #LGBTQ students, as a way to undermine publicly funded education. Community is having to respond to homophobic and transphobic delegates at the Waterloo Catholic District School Board.

Freeland co-created the dire conditions of social life with Trudeau. Don’t pretend that her resignation is some kind of radical revolt. Her resignation is an acknowledgment that their collusion to transfer more wealth to the already very wealthy is reaching it limit.

Every time I haul out the snow pants I remember my nephew lying down on the sidewalk in his full snowsuit in silent protest. He was right, the struggle of getting all those extra clothes on is exercise enough for the day.

When pundits say no more identity politics, what they mean is they don't want Black people to talk about race. Liberals don't want Black people to talk about race. Conservatives don't want Black people to talk about race. They want silence as a response to white supremacy
