THREAD: How to check if a tweet screenshot is fake? Dozens of fake screnshots of tweets have gone viral in recently. So, here's a simple guide on how one can quickly check if a screenshot of a tweet attributed to an account is genuine or fake before falling for or sharing it.

Creating space for others doesn’t mean someone is necessarily asking you to give up your space. use your agency to create bigger equitable spaces rather than centring yourself or feeling attacked when you weren’t. Just because you do EDI work doesn’t mean you can’t be wrong.

Here’s why experience matters when running for Mayor (think Larry O’Brien) - I just fact checked some promises made by Mr. Sutcliffe and I found some interesting things. #Ottnews #Ottawa #Ottcity #Ottpoli

We went undercover to investigate how some real estate agents, mortgage brokers and bank employees are perpetrating mortgage fraud for a fee, and securing their own commissions by submitting fake documents for approval. Watch our episode Friday at 8 pm on CBC-TV and @CBCGem.

So much talk about how to support CUPE. When workers are on strike much of their concerns are financial. When I walked a picket line, the drop offs of coffee, etc. piled up. Think about grocery gift cards. Go to a picket line & hand them out.

The approximate annual cost for the raise requested by CUPE is $264m. The $200 per child bribe Lecce recently gave out cost around $365m. The license plate renewal fee brought in approximately $1b each year.

What a blow to equity in the #GC, to hiring people across the country, allowing people with disabilities and people of colour to work safely and freely from their homes with less discrimination. What a blow to all of us trying to keep ourselves and our sick family members safe.

There are more differential impacts that I could mention but I think folks get the key points… today’s decision is not evidence-based, it is not informed by the lived experiences of those who will be most impacted. The decisions are not equitable. Today we have been let down

So most everybody I talk to hates this return to the office announcement but it is actually interesting to see what folks focus on. It really depends on their backgrounds, both personally and professionally. Let's go through the list:

So, any remote jobs hiring? Asking for 1000s of friends.

Why do we keep branding it as Digital Transformation in #GC? I know from learning about it that client-centred is supposed to be part of it. But it tends to get buried. It should be the most important part. Who cares if something is digital if it's not client-centred.

Ontario ERs due to underfunding are being asked to cut costs. Yes - you are reading this correctly. Ontario ERs due to underfunding are being asked to cut costs.

That's the recurring problem though isn't it. Instead of building policies shaped by things like mental health, diversity, and accessibility, the burden is placed on employees to 'be resilient' and find personal ways to reduce it's negative impact.
