"Tolerance means that someone must be in a position of power to tolerate you, and to cause harm by not tolerating you. These racial power differentials are what we’re trying to eliminate." - @wickdchiq Great summary of 'tolerance' and why it's inherently coercive & violent.

Stop calling TERFs advocating for child abuse and attacking trans people ‘anti-woke’, they’re violent and hateful.

There is no shortage of candidates for trustee — but there are growing concerns about a slate of candidates campaigning on “anti-woke” U.S.-style platforms who want to roll back sex education and equity initiatives in schools.

@wickdchiq Long long long history there lol. Some Evangelicals believe they are the true Christians and that Catholics / Orthodox / Anglicans are pagan devil worshippers, tldr.

CLAs have always taken controversial cases to solidify civil rights. The Emergencies Act is scary, and wasn't actually required to resolve what's happening in #Ottawa . I loath the #OttawaOccupation , but this has implications on ALL protests in the future. Following this case.

@cancivlib This isn't CCLA taking a "side". This is CCLA recognizing an opportunity to challenge the use of legislation that restricts civil liberties in a way that may be unconstitutional, and doing the thing they were created to do. It's always a healthy discussion worth having

Canadians that took CERB while not meeting the reqs (due to need or mistake) are forced to pay or face criminal charges of fraud. When will the Trudeau Liberal gov start serving Canadians, and punishing the companies that take advantage of us and our emergency funds? #cdnpoli

@theologising I agree that Protestants who do this are behaving poorly (especially us Anglicans), but this tweet feels kind of one sided and uncharitable. Numerous Orthodox and Catholic accounts have come into my replies calling me a hellbound sodomite, heretic, and spreading explicit hate.

Giving a $500 top-up based on a hard limit of money earned in 2022 is so dumb. The cost of living means in some cities, 40k will be just as little as the what, 20k-30k maximum income to be eligible for this. I’m so tired of these bandaid solutions to critical social problems.

We’re delivering relief right now for Canadians who need it most. Starting this week, low-income renters can receive a $500 top-up and get quick support to pay their rent.

@ShawnMenard1 Shawn, do you know if the city plans to provide any support to residents who have lost food but do not qualify for emergency supports because they are not on OW? I can't imagine the city expects local food banks to manage thousands of new individuals over the coming weeks.

So strange seeing two semi-progressive trustee candidates duking it out on Twitter because their feelings are hurt by one another’s supporters whom neither are responsible for. The lives and safety of trans children are literally at risk in this election. Please re-focus.
