Our campaign, Canlit Responds, was asked to comment for this article. None of it was published. Here's what we sent, with minor edits for clarity.
A contentious partnership, high-profile resignations and accusations of antisemitism. Inside the turmoil at Canada's most prestigious literary prize trib.al/g0ZY13j
This is the most ridiculous, frustrating waste of resources and demonstrates this government’s deep contempt for this city.
NEW: As first reported by Global News, the Ford government has begun the process of removing bike lanes from three Toronto streets: Yonge st., Bloor St., University Ave. globalnews.ca/news/10825146/… #onpoli
In the largest commitment to the cultural boycott in history, over 5,000 writers with @PalFest, @wawog_now and others have pledged not to work with Israeli cultural institutions that are complicit in the oppression and ongoing genocide against Palestinians. These writers are…

"This is not a humanitarian crisis, Kate, and I'm going to say it very clearly for your viewers to hear: This is genocide [...] Media agencies will have reckon with their major role in the genocide." -- Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan to CNN
This gathering invites an open conversation on how we can protect our community from gun violence by fostering collective care and emphasizing solutions beyond policing, tackling the root causes of poverty, racism, and marginalization. Oct 2, 2024, 6-8 pm. #JaneFinch
Hey folks, I directed a doc series about systemic racism faced by Black artists in the music industry featuring Nile Rodgers, Smokey Robinson, Chaka Khan, Gloria Gaynore, Ice T, Master P, Monie Love & many more legends. Coming to @CBC & @BBC -bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/20…
I wonder how many Daniel Kaluuya's we've missed out on in the last two decades because the UK's creative industries refuse to recognise that casting from the same private schools can only get you so far. The story of Skins is a story of investing in working class talent.
I’m deeply invested. Very few shows have me on my feet yelling at the screen. @netflix imma need y’all to please hurry up and confirm Season 2
Toronto has lost one of its strongest activist and community leaders. He was not only fighting for the Black community but for all Torontonians to be safe from gun violence. RIP Brother Louis! Thank you for the respect @JoannaLavoie cp24.com/news/anti-gun-…
Toronto sits in a basin surrounded by the Greenbelt, a system of woods and wetlands that perform a crucial role of absorbing water. The Ontario government recently voted to open them up to development, paving them over, giving rainfall nowhere to go. It's only gonna get worse.
Today’s flooding in Toronto will likely be worse and more widespread than the recent benchmark event in July 2013 and that was a billion dollar disaster.
My heart is so heavy. My amazing friend, mentor, Louis March is currently fighting for his life after a medical emergency. Pls pour all your love and prayer onto him to recover. 💙💛
Earlier, I read a piece that suggested that the rising rates of autoimmune disorders in women of color specifically is correlated to repressed anger & lack of expression surrounding said anger. I've been thinking about all damn day. I've tagged it below. fiercebymitu.com/wellness/scien…
Created a resource, Black Canadian Film, that documents films made by Black Canadian filmmakers, Canadian films about the Black experience, etc. blackcanadianfilm.ca
And nobody wants to address the fact that the storytelling is suffering due to the fact that this business is becoming unsustainable for people from poor and working class backgrounds to do this. Same tired ass stories cause it’s coming from the same tired ass rich kids.
The gap for working class filmmakers and writers is getting bigger and bigger. Just rich people getting to do this now.
I promise you, you’re gonna want to listen to this conversation on Slave Play, featuring the brilliance of @amanda_parris and @KathleenNB open.spotify.com/episode/7fxQYS…
