“There’s no reason why hateful and divisive candidates like Donald Trump and Pierre Poilievre should ever have a chance of being elected. It’s up to decent people to call out their polarization and disinformation, and remain united against them.”

I saw someone criticizing a very funny poster for making jokes instead of posting about politics, and I am reminded of a favorite line from E. B. White: We should strive not for balanced books but balanced libraries

Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it. Read books. Form your own opinions. LEARN THINGS. READ BOOKS WHILE LIBRARIES ARE STILL AROUND

Polls can be encouraging, but I’m not going to let them lull me into a false sense of security. For what they promise to become reality, we have to vote! #vote #cdnpoli #neverpoilievre #neverconservative

Seeing a whole lot of huzzah-ing for the 3 Yale profs with precious little critical thought behind it. -Does this affect Canadian academics? -We don’t have a “Yale”, but could we? -Will they commit to Canadian causes and to staying beyond this particular moment? Dubious

Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty. —Hannah Arendt

My workplace has just started using an AI service to automate our work schedules. The amount of human labour that has to go into prepping it and then correcting all the errors is absurd. It’s chaotic and the need for human judgement is obvious.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

As much as I applaud Canadians’ responses to the US, we need to use this moment to dig a little deeper into what decolonization and indigenization mean to us. We prize our sovereignty, so let’s extrapolate from that. #decolonization #indigenization #sovereignty

Ask Americans if they believe they’ve maintained their sovereignty instead. Ask them how they feel about their insidious colonization by Russia. Ask Indigenous reps how this looks from their perspective.

The journey toward reconciliation with First Nations is ongoing and is far from over. However, no federal government has supported Indigenous people more than the current Liberal government under Justin Trudeau. His compassion and love were guiding his efforts every step forward. Watch this 👇🏼👇🏼
