Oh, hey, the Bank of Canada has finally caught up to what anyone with a brain has been saying for months or years. Corporate profiteering is helping drive inflation! bnnbloomberg.ca/bank-of-canada…

Really looking forward to reading this series from ActiveHistory.ca on de-industrialization. The Politics of Deindustrialization in Canada activehistory.ca/2023/06/the-po…

Excellent Canadaland episode talking about trans rights and the resurgence of fascism. Well done Jonathan Goldsbie and Cheri DiNovo. Please bring Cheri back, she’s a great guest.

Great interview by @calebzakarin of Cathal J. Nolan on the New Books Network (@newbooksnetwork.bsky.social) on his new book from @OUPHistory, Mercy: Humanity in War. The book sounds amazing, but Nolan's fiery and passionate opposition to war made the interview itself worthwhile. newbooksnetwork.com/mercy

Important moment in Canadian history that most people seem to be missing.

GOTV for Olivia Chow in #stpauls. There are Olivia voters in every neighbourhood. #torontoelection #TorontoVotes.

The Anglican Diocese of Toronto has made a powerful statement calling on all levels of government to work together to provide shelter to asylum seekers and expedite 2,000 rent supplements, and for the federal government to honour its $97 million financial commitment to refugees.

Thanks to Jenn Jefferys for this important article on toxic masculinity and renewed violent attacks against women, against the LGBTQ+ community, and against members of radicalized and Indigenous communities. tvo.org/article/the-wa…

This is a really important link to two ProPublica articles by Jennifer Berry Hawes on the need to move histories of enslavement, enslaved people, and their enslavers in Charleston to the forefront, in the face of continuing efforts to deny the truth of these histories.

Proud to be a member of Muddy York RFC, especially so because of our involvement in efforts like mixed ability rugby that expand participation and inclusion in sport. Thanks also to the continuing leadership from Rugby Ontario and Abilities Centre. globalnews.ca/video/9866460/…

Thank you Derek Silva (derekcrim.bsky.social) and Nathan Kalman-Lamb for having me! It's always a lot of fun when I get to chat with such insightful and engaging scholars!

Take a look at the left-hand pair of columns. I would have to do some digging, but I am pretty sure that the implication here is that students from India put more into the Ontario college system than does Queen's Park.

“For Ontario teachers, arbitration is no substitute for the right to strike” great article by Larry Savage and Stephanie Ross on how problematic the OSSTF deal with the Ford government is. theconversation.com/for-ontario-te… The Conversation Canada

Great times playing in last last week’s #beaverbowl rugby tournament put on by my club Muddy York RFC. Loved getting the opportunity to sub with the Ottawa Wolves RFC. #igr #rugbyontario

I don’t watch a ton of NHL hockey anymore, but this new direction means that I’ll be actively boycotting and intentionally not engaging with NHL hockey at all. Also, I’m pretty sure this infringes on charter rights in Canada.

Important ActiveHistory.ca article by Alvin Finkel about Canadian post war immigration policies that allowed for the immigration of large numbers of Nazis and Nazi collaborators. Yaroslav Hunka is the Tip of the Iceberg activehistory.ca/blog/2023/10/1… via ActiveHistory.ca

This is a problem across the entire Ontario college sector. The reliance on (and exploitation of) precariously-employed contract faculty is detrimental to students, faculty, and the system as a whole. Time for a responsible, ethical academic staffing model! #onpse

Really fortunate that I was able to join fellow social democrats in celebrating Ed Broadbent’s life last week. For those interested in supporting the work Ed was doing please consider contributing to the Ed Broadbent Democracy Fund. broadbentlegacy.ca/democracy-fund
