There is nothing like being in a board meeting in downtown Ottawa and seeing a giant truck with graphic imagery and blatant anti-abortion misinformation drive by... So fucking pathetic.

Spoke w. @thephilanthropist.ca about our priorities at Action Canada in 2025: “How can we ensure that, as polarization and tensions continue to percolate in our communities, their support for progressive policy doesn’t change, even if the government does? That’ll definitely be a priority for us.”

In late 2024, I had the privilege of presenting at the Parkland Institute conference in Edmonton. It was great to talk to Alberta-based progressives about reproductive rights and fighting fascism. A timely conversation then as it is now! You can watch the YouTube video of the lecture👇🏿

Heads up: Anti-abortion dingdongs are outside of the Rideau Centre (Rideau and Sussex) with their graphic placards. These same people have been ramping up their targeting of clinics in the city as well.

If you're curious about the state of the other app: A woman is getting violent threats for posting her PhD thesis. Not sure why I keep peeking to see what's up over there. It's a hellhole and a window to the rapid-fire spread of fascist rhetoric 🙃

The fight for LGBTQ+ rights in my home country is significant for us living abroad. I got to speak a bit about that in this interview. This eight-part series investigates the backsliding of LGBTQ+ rights in Africa and the consequences for Canada as a country with a feminist foreign policy.

"Canada can reinforce reproductive justice as a comprehensive public good. This approach should address needs ranging from accessible sexual education to universal access to contraception, as well as support for new parents and those seeking to become parents." YES! YES! YES!

It's been disheartening watching so many Ontario urban progressives either silent on or supportive of Mayors wanting to strip the Charter rights away from people experiencing homelessness. Progressivism should be about defending the marginalized, not defending government.
