It’s been shocking to see the lack of historical context provided in too many stories about the #Israel- #Palestine conflict. As journalism educators we need to prepare our students to tell critical stories. They need to be studying more history/philosophy/political theory.

All the folks coming on my Twitter timeline over the past two days, spewing ignorance and misinformation about Sarah Jama keep on trying but there’s absolutely not damn thing you can do that will stop me from calling out hate, violence, exclusionary, harmful behaviours and

I’m making no comment. I don’t need to. You can all see it too. The so called LGB Alliance.

A fourth NDP Riding association, this one in Beaches-East York is calling on Leader Marit Stiles to reverse her decision in regards to removing MPP Sarah Jama from caucus. “Her removal raises concerns about misogynist and anti-black racism within the party”

This is terrifying. Huge kudos to the neonatal teams at both the The Ottawa Hospital and CHEO Ottawa for managing this challenging situation.

The problem with this perspective, in my view, is that there’s no reliable way to distinguish between a “view of the world” and “knowledge.” By-and-large, “knowledge” means “widely accepted view of the world” or “the view of the world of those in power.”

I look forward to the day when white women finally stay in their lane. The amount of nonsense from them about BSM and blood quantum with the most shallow understanding of Indigeneity is irritating. Everyone is now a fucking NDN agent now, because they watched something on CBC.

Let's fix this: Thousands of desperate people undergoing genocide, distribute life saving supplies that the UN has been hoarding.

It’s not anti-Semitic to criticize the Israeli government. It’s not anti-Semitic to put the current conflict in historical context. It’s not anti-Semitic to mourn the death of Palestinian civilians. But if you describe the slaughter of 1,400 civilians as “military action” or

This is the earliest review that I have found of #MatthewPerry’s theatre work from 1983 when Matthew was in Grade 8 at Ottawa’s Ashbury College and co-starred as Jack in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. The director was his mentor, the brilliant Greg Simpson.

And yet the academy & nursing professional organizations keep holding meetings to figure out what to do about the “nurse faculty shortage”… smh

As you must have heard, Ontario nurses will now be able to independently prescribe and administer certain medications. Nurses who wish to participate must register for additional education set to begin in January 2024. This added education will not be compensated in anyway. So

Canada was one of 7 countries in the 192-member United Nations to vote against a resolution (Nov.9) calling for an end to illegal Israeli colonization of territories seized by military force in contravention of international law. The UK, France,Italy,Germany voted in favour.

Dallaire told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday that the war in the Middle East has led to “nearly every one” of the United Nations’ listed violations against children in conflict being committed.

this is an absolutely UNHINGED way to open your book on the history of medicine !!!!!

I resent all the praises like this for how well Smith communicated the vilest, most alienating & dangerous bit of nonsense that can be inflicted on vulnerable kids...solving a problem literally no one was having to satisfy no one but bigots...but sure.....great speech 🙄#cdnpoli

5/To make this announcement on social media platforms with no journalistic engagement is a calculated move, meant to fuel highly charged ideological and political rhetoric, leading up to a media availability that will be used to blame trans allies for misrepresenting the intent.

Hard disagree. This is not what compassion looks like. This is how people spread disinformation. Cult leaders sound like this - don’t get lulled into some sort of - gee whiz she sure is a good communicator.
