If you were born after 1970, are living in Waterloo region, and only have one dose of Measles vaccine, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor about getting a second dose. www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/health-an...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Great story on 60 Minutes last night. They made lemonade from lemons. Glad they had veterans that helped the students perform. #EDUsky www.cbsnews.com/video/marine...

Our knowledge may not be primitive, but sometimes it's silly. A silly little story about Nanaboozho and the artichokes, what you may know as sunchokes or Jersusalem artichokes that aren't actually from Jerusalem at all. www.thousandworlds.ca/nanaboozho-a...

In the last Ontario election, more than 6 million eligible voters did not vote. That’s 6 million voices missing from the conversation about our province’s future. Advanced polling happens today and tomorrow. Please make sure your voice is heard. www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in...

Pierre Poilievre backed Harper’s war on science—firing 2,000 scientists, slashing research, muzzling experts & gutting climate monitoring by 70%. Scientific output plummeted, media coverage dropped 80%, & Canada was globally shamed. Conservatism is ignorance. #cdnpoli www.votewell.ca

Getting ready to start the journey that is #NBE3U with my students this week and definitely feeling the power of "i am graffiti" to begin anew. It somehow hits different in today's context. #TRCCallstoAction #teachlivingpoets #PoetryinVoiceCanada youtu.be/dkUKsy8u7ec?...

Warning: the same corporations who took advantage of the pandemic to raise prices will also likely take advantage of the tariffs to raise prices. Now, more than ever, we will need to support those who are struggling.

Thank you #CBCIdeas for the thoughtful podcast yesterday. So many great quotes to ponder including this one: "sometimes caring for shared life means it's okay to not engage, and 'passing by' should never be confused for disengagement" www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/...

"It’s an important reminder to all of us that surviving the classroom by teaching to only those students who appear to care is a surefire way to alienate others who really do." Someone make this a required poster in all classrooms.

Of all the kids in the child ‘welfare’ system in Canada, 53.7% are Indigenous children despite being only 7.7% of the total number of children in Canada. In Manitoba, Indigenous kids are 90% of all children in child welfare. In Alberta it’s 70%.

I am loving teaching #NBE for the first time ever this year. Every day I am honoured and humbled to work with students as we engage with Indigenous voices across many forms of literature. Are there any other #ONEd teachers here in #EduSky teaching #NBE this semester?
