It’s International day against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia! Just a reminder that freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences of hate speech. Everyone has a right be themselves and love consensually. You don’t have to understand something to mind your business.

"At core, these are meal services & these are community spaces for people to come & chat up other people," Caton said.

“DeBar was a safe haven and one that was accessible to all. As Rick made clear: he had lived on the street as a teen and perhaps longer. The homeless were not a threat. In fact, they kept DEBAR alive during COVID by buying coffee for one another.” philallt1.substack.com/p/lowering-d...

“Indigenous women are four times more likely than non-Indigenous women to be victims of violence. Indigenous women make up 16% of all female homicide victims, and 11% of missing women, yet Indigenous people make up only 4.3% of the population of Canada.” afn.ca/rights-justi... #MMIWG #RedDressDay

Congratulations MP O’Rourke! I know you will serve Guelph well. Congratulations to @mark-carney.bsky.social on your election. Looking forward to a Canada united against Trump aggression, and a move towards kindness and understanding. Let’s get on truly affordable accessible housing. 🥳

It’s #TransDayOfVisibility & honestly the transgender community is plenty visible given all the disinformation out there. I’d like you to join me in spreading this mostly Canadian knowledge base that I compiled to educate on Trans Reality. linktr.ee/transreality

Happy to 2nd the motion moved by Councillor Allt, crafted by the mayor & staff, to support the province and federal government’s responses against Mr. Trump’s tariffs. US friends, we feel your pain & you are always welcome to come up to Guelph to take a break from your government.

Folks. Yelling at people who bring up issues with Carney’s choices isn’t going to make the Liberals win. Having Carney address the issues could though.
