"This Labour Day, in the shadow of a federal election and another spike of COVID cases, the invisible side of anti-Asian racism hidden behind the model minority myth — valuing certain labour over others — must be made visible again." @initialvw @KennesLin thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

Yesterday I met Finance reps to discuss the proposed Canadian Digital Services Tax - new tax legislation since GST in 1991. A personal milestone after 6 years of tracking it, researching it for LLM, and despite others calling it a 'pet project' - so yes, I'm very pleased.

We also need unions to stop being complicit with employers and agreeing to give NDAs to members who are known harassers and who are being terminated for misconduct. I’m looking at you, @UWindsor

This is a must-watch. @DrKaliBarrett on COVID-19 in Ontario.
Give your money to support organizations like @faclOntario @csalegalclinic @ProjectPROTECH @isans_ca @ccncsj - important groups fighting hate every day. And then, read the anti-racism campaign by our Asian community leaders. ccncsj.ca/let-the-atlanta-ma…

.@StopAAPIHate statement: “This latest attack will only exacerbate the fear and pain that the Asian American community continues to endure.” Full statement below:
Six Asian women died while at work.
Does it matter where they worked? Insinuate that it included sex?
This narrative perpetuates the dangerous, racist tropes of Asian women. I'm sure sexualizing the women is easier to accept than calling this what it is - a hate crime.
