No surprise that many people who just couldn’t “condone the violence” of a slap at the #Oscars are either silent about the police killing of #PatrickLyoya or excusing an officer sworn to protect and serve cutting off his body cam and shooting Patrick in the back of the head.

Please do take a moment. Listen. Reflect on this time, these words from Judge Jackson. This has vast significance. I’m grateful to be witness to this moment in time.

Please stop whatever you are doing to listen to (and share) this historic moment. The words of Judge Jackson resonate in defiance of cynicism, they grow from the deep roots of pain and struggle, and they usher forth a vision of hope in a better and more just America.



Congratulations, Madame Justice!!!


53-47 ‼️History. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The risk of severe disease with #COVID varies for each person. With so much COVID circulating, continue to mask up to protect yourself and others. Patient story shared with permission.

#AirCanada might want to re-think this message. Title should be “Russian aggression against Ukraine”. That’s what it is.

We are all weary, but simply declaring the pandemic over does not make it true. It is reckless to be throwing caution to the wind.

I don't know where the confidence comes from to declare that the pandemic has ended in Ontario but elimination of the most basic PH measures like masking guarantees it won't end as soon as it should. The vulnerable will pay the biggest price. Again.

Telling the vulnerable to keep masking while society lets it rip is like telling people "Wear a seatbelt if you're afraid of drunk drivers." 😡
