I'm enjoying the quiet of being away from Twitter in its current form. Not sure how often I'll use it, but you can find me on Bluesky Gerald Butts.bsky.social or Gerald Butts on Instagram.

Back for one tweet to amplify this. Independent journalism at The Narwhal saved the #Greenbelt. Subscribe. Imagine the guts it took to conserve it back when every GTA developer had designs on it. Thank the visionary leadership of Dalton McGuinty. Politics matter.

L’Université McGill s’adresse à la justice, parce que nous croyons que ces mesures sont illégales et qu’advenant leur mise en place, elles mettront en péril sa mission, son rôle essentiel au Québec et sa place parmi les meilleurs établissements d’enseignement supérieur du monde.
