@univrsle Fair, but also they’ve had decades to do so and haven’t. At some point reform isn’t the answer, the answer is something new all together — new voices, new energy, new perspectives

And! I’m frustrated the Libs, NDP and Green Party didn’t come together as a coalition. You vote for Ford or you vote for this one progressive candidate in each riding. #OntarioVotes #ONelxn #OntarioElection2022

I was asked in an interview “what do you want” and here’s the answer I finally came up with: ➡️I want every opportunity that was denied to my ancestors. I want to create generational wealth and generational healing for my family. I want to thrive, rather than just survive.

Look we played the @oncanadaproject drinking game tonight, so forgive me if I got this wrong, but did we talk about issues affecting young people at all tonight? Like 40% of eligible voters are millennials and Gen Z. And what about those too young to vote #cdnpoli #Elxn44

The only reason #CancelCanadaDay is uncomfortable or complicated to discuss is bc we, as non-Indigenous folk, are centering our feelings in this conversation. Spoiler alert: if you aren’t Indigenous, your feelings don’t matter but your actions do. #SettlersTakeAction #cdnpoli

I wish #cdnmedia would put a quarter of the energy they put into the coronation coverage into covering the ongoing genocide of Indigenous peoples. Bc by not covering #mmiwg2s our Canadian Media landscape is complicit in the genocide. #cdnpoli

Regardless of whether or not Tory is married, him having an affair with someone who works for him is an abuse of power — Yet almost all of the reporting on this centers his failures as a husband. Did we learn nothing from @MonicaLewinsky ?? #topoli #toronto #johntory #timesup

All I want to know is which Toronto Mayoral candidates are associated with or covertly/overtly endorsed by Doug Ford & Co. With so many ppl running, this would help me cross a bunch of names off my list of candidates to look into. #topoli @TorontoStar @TheBreachMedia #onpoli

A white straight male dm-ed us to say he is awe of the restraint we use when discussing the convoy. It made me so emotional bc it’s not restraint, it’s conditioning. I wish I didn’t have to hold back but as a WOC I know that I can’t give ppl extra reasons to dismiss our content

Hamas are Palestinians but not all Palestinians are Hamas. I’m concerned that elected progressive leaders in Canada are not aware of this nuance. #freePalestine #cdnpoli

a year ago we were lining up to thank #HealthcareHeroes and now people are outside hospitals protesting the very people who have been healing, advocating for and protecting us. It’s so gross 🤢 #cdnpoli #cdnhealth
