At an event to launch the latest UNFPA report, hosted by @actioncanadashr.bsky.social and the Canadian Association of Parliamentarians for Population Development.

Time and again the Liberals have violated workers' constitutional right to strike by abusing Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, showing they're with corporations, not workers. Workers' rights are fundamental to democracy, not a minor inconvenience to be overridden without a second thought.

The Cass Review was a transparent exercise in conclusion based evidence making.

Can’t believe it’s been twenty years since these MMIWG vigils started. #SistersInSpirit

The Winnipeg police Major Crimes Unit is investigating a fire at Manitoba cabinet minister Nahanni Fontaine's constituency office in north Winnipeg early on Tuesday morning. The fire follows several windows being smashed at the office last week.

Exhibit A at The Hague just dropped

At Abbotsford House on Bank for Judy Darcy’s Ottawa book launch. Bread and roses an appropriate decor choice!

Really looking forward to this! Judy has been a wonderful mentor and friend over the years, something that I have tried to pay forward in my own work. She created space for me, provided warmth, support and encouragement.

Experimenting. Will I go back to blogging? Let's find out miss-vickys-offhand-remarks.ghost.io/get-this-par...

Hospitals would lose money and so would police and schools if we looked a profit & loss, privatized and replaced them with US multinational delivery services. In the age of “Nation Building” why is an oil pipeline worth subsidizing, but not the service that delivers our election ballots? #cdnpoli

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

I can sense the eye rolling but I mean it. I work in community care. Killing Canada Post is absolutely part of a growing, worrying trend of anti-social behaviour where we prioritize individual convenience over the collective good. It's a well researched phenomenon!

Remember this?

a good sign of self love is when you respond to your mistakes with love and understanding, not anger. a punitive response to learning is not loving. it’s the opposite. when I finally learned this lesson it brought calm and joy to everyday experience. love yourself through adversity. love yourself.

The NDP’s Pharmacare Act is now federal law—but the Carney Liberals are dragging their heels on implementation. Canadians can’t afford mixed messages and half-measures. Every province and territory must be included. No more delays. It’s time to deliver public pharmacare for everyone.

Any gatherings tomorrow to watch the Rugby World Cup final in Ottawa???

Yes, this. Tearing down the very institutions that many Canadians associate with our national identity is the complete opposite of nation-building

Thus far, in governments' quest to protect kids from the increasingly-evident harms of social media, we've tried: -Befriending big tech -Sending sternly-worded letters -Pretending it's fine -Nothing None of it's worked! Let's try something else. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Really looking forward to attending this event here in Ottawa next month! Interested in ideologically motivated violent extremism? Join us! www.eventbrite.com/e/man-up-the...

Fantastic networking tonight at the “Women on the Hill” event at the Chateau Laurier. Thanks to the organizers for bringing folks together. Saw some old friends, made some new connections and left energized for the work ahead.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

The working class has lost a giant. Leo Gerrard has gone to the angels. He fought like hell for miners and steelworkers. I stood with him on the picket lines and watched him tackle the oligarchs. He was a Sudbury boy who never forgot his roots. A photo with USWA leader Kenny Neuman before the end.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

🌟 in resistance to 🇺🇸 fascism, moments of profound sadness that it’s come to this.. fighting fascism is now the fight of our lives on which so much depends, including the climate fight for a liveable future for our children. even as we speak out for an end to genocide in Gaza. #defendliberty 🔔

NEW ZEALAND: Pay equity protests across Aotearoa waateanews.com/2025/09/20/6...

Three days after the UN inquiry declares "genocide" in Gaza the Carney government says they are still waiting for "all the evidence" before taking a stand. What an epic moral failure.

For the first time in Alberta history, Danielle Smith will use the notwithstanding clause preemptively to shield her bills targeting vulnerable trans children from legal scrutiny. Her actions are simply cruel and wrong. Read my full statement below:

“Danielle Smith has directed officials to invoke the Charter’s notwithstanding clause in amending three laws that affect transgender people” Danielle Smith is going to revoke people’s Charter Rights. Thats where we are. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli lethbridgeherald.com/news/nationa...

this is the kind of thing that makes you feel something needs to be done about the notwithstanding clause

I would say WTF but I don’t want to be trite

Uplifting, fierce and determined Take Back the Night march through downtown Ottawa today, culminating in a Take Back the Budget rally on Parliament Hill. Powerful speakers, great chants, a convergence of two rallies in the Market - fantastic! #EndGBV #TBTN #FundFeministMovements

Oh shit who could have predicted this…

A @meidascanada.ca resister sent me a message about Trump meeting the Brit King. He quoted Joe Strummer: "If Adolf Hitler were here today, they'd send the limousine anyway." This is not the time to be dismayed my friends.This is what Joe Strummer trained you for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=96Ut...

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Ottawa! Please spread the word! We need to show our elected officials that "We'll get to equality once we figure out tariffs, balance the budget, etc." is all kinds of BS. Ottawa's "Take Back the Night" march starts at Minto Park at 6pm that night and will meet up with this event on the Hill.

I mean, haven’t they already caught up to us? Lots of evidence in terms of crumbling infrastructure, absurd transit decisions, erosion of social services …

"Their lives were ruined" said losers on the internet and at Tim Hortons across the country. And yet, evidence of that remains to be seen because these dudes are clearly doing a-okay. And that's on rape culture for you!

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.bsky.social

The amount of Canadian digital infrastructure and critical data that exists on American cloud and network infrastructure is truly alarming In my capacity as board member for @openmediaorg.bsky.social, I call on Canadians to let their elected representatives know that this is a risk we cannot afford

The Globe's plea for a federal focus on Ottawa is great, but its focus on shuffling office workers into the centre to revitalize the downtown as a solution is blinkered and retrograde. It's a 20th-century solution to a 21st-century problem.

Way to go Ottawa! Punishing teenagers (more the school boards seemingly) by *checks notes* charging an adult bus fare for them. That'll get ridership up and reliance on cars down, I'm sure of it 🙃 #ontario

Happy Labour Day, union fam! #solidarity #WorkersTogether

I can

Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

When you drive away your ridership with unreliable service, they tend to stay away. This should not be rocket science, and yet...

This is literally just an excuse for exclusion of trans and intersex women athletes. And a major hurdle for all other women athletes. Transphobia truly does rot people's brains to its core. www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

Councillor Troster and MPP McKenney are right to call out the Ford government's unsubstantiated decision to close the consumption and treatment site at SWCHC. That choice has made the entire community less safe.

Season two opening dance sequence of Peacemaker pales in comparison to season one. #sorrynotsorry

Yep. 20 years since I shacked up with this fancy m-f’er
