one side wants to demonize & marginalize immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, trans people, people of colour & the poor, pointlessly transferring wealth upward while steering us towards environmental apocalypse. the other side is opposed to these things. such polarization!
With polarization on the rise, both the Left and the Right of Canada's political spectrum are spoiling for a fight and reasoned debate is at risk. With a federal election looming, it’s time to raise the alarm. #LeftvsRight ow.ly/3uuy30nh8sX

More and more, men have to recognize their role in ending VAW. It's critical to call other men out, educate men, and teach consent. Men, keen to see you step up. @OCTEVAW @MediaActionCA @WendyHovdestad

“Harry’s message was that the monuments of progress – the hospitals and schools and social safety net – were not permanent and inevitable. They’d been fought for and built by men and women, in living memory, and they were under threat.” theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

It’s costs me absolutely nothing to respect someone’s gender identity but it means the world to the transgender community.
Rejecting gender identity is petty & cruel. It is bullying on an official policy scale & I find it repugnant.

New research shows that forced sterilization of Indigenous women is not just a shameful part of Canadian history, it is a current practice. Reports from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the territories suggest it is still happening. thestar.com/news/canada/2018…
