A friend just sent a photo of what they're doing for municipal elections in Thunder Bay. During advance polls and election day, Thunder Bay is providing free transit so everyone can have easier access to vote. We did free transit in December why not to get folks to the polls?

A non-binary mayoral candidate gets continously misgendered throughout their entire campaign, and is directly attacked by their opponent almost daily. However, the opponent is the only one dealing with "bullies" and "trolls". Give me a fucking break. #ottpoli #ottvote

"Read the TRC Final Report" is not a metaphor; it is a call for Canadians to read the TRC Final Report and learn about Canada's Indian Residential School system and its ongoing legacies. All 6 volumes of the report and a summary are free to read here: nctr.ca/records/report…

A flute LIZZO played in the Main Reading Room Monday (with permission from some lucky researchers who were there!) looks similar to the crystal one she had at her concert, but is actually plexiglass. It is also very rare & was manufactured when the material was first invented.🔊

Non-Indigenous people: please remember that September 30th isn’t a day of celebration or joy for us. For many of us, it’s a day that reminds us of loss and is a day of mourning and remembrance. Please remember this when smiling with your friends for a pic in your orange shirts.

Hear me out: #Scotiabank, #TimHortons and any other sponsor of #HockeyCanada who is pulling their funding this year. Take the money your company earmarked for that and donate it to sexual assault centres across the country & youth sexual health programs.

Don't spend the next 4 years (or 8, 12, 16?) at consultations, protests, working groups or delegations to committees whose members are more interested in their phones. Instead, spend the next 11 days helping candidates who will create an Ottawa that you are proud to call home.

Every library is special. Every library has its own stories. But we truly believe that people make each one unique. 💙 A big shout-out to you, library workers! #CanadianLibraryWorkersDay #CanadianLibraryMonth

So Diane Deans got removed from Police Services Board because she and the board hired Chief Sloly’s replacement “without consulting City council”, and yet now the board is hiring new chief before election because they don’t need to involve City Council. Am I getting this right?

#Ottawa's new police chief was part of the RCMP team who arrested journalists covering Wet’suwet’en and misrepresented what was happening in the territory. Doesn't inspire a ton of confidence for transparency, something deeply lacking in our police force.

I have been voting in elections for 52 years, often holding my nose to vote for the least offensive. Not this year when I voted enthusiastically for @cmckenney to become #Ottawa's next Mayor. Their ideas, strength, and decency are precisely what Ottawa desperately needs today.

Let's not forget that Ford had no issue giving 73 MPPs on his side of the House a pay bump of $16,000. But education workers earning $40,000 or less are greedy and unreasonable? Make it make sense, Doug Ford. #OntEd #39kIsNotEnough #ONpoli
