Been off twitter for almost a month now - I have gone thru all meetings sponsored by Intergov Secretariat and it is all well and truly shocking since JT. Canada's intergovernmental 'system-machinery-arrangements' whatever word you want to use is appalling.
A few challenges in answering: Cdn Intergov Sec prob didn’t coordinate or log them. Not all teleconferences would’ve been publicized, even after. Suggest ATIP to PCO/IGA. Might guess more convos but maybe not ALL 1st mins online (bc schedules) during covid.

A broader call is coming soon, but I am currently looking to fill spots in the Politics and Activism sections of the pillar I oversee @XtraMagazine, which covers these topics as they pertain to queer and trans people and communities. Writers can be based anywhere.

Literally just finished @thechaiy’s wonderful, enlightening, heartbreaking and uplifting book DANDELION. Head to your local bookstore (like @OctopusBooks ) to grab a copy and read it.

Proven leader; wealth of experience in Council and beyond; daring, compassionate, caring, and achievable vision for our city - one to be proud of. No more bland, indifferent, capricious mediocre leaders. Go talk to them for even 2 mins and you will likely see what I mean.

Abortions For all - Delivered and monitored with care, respect, and dignity - Wherever. Whenever. No reasons. No justifications. No explanations - clarifications - no accounts of any kind. Save those the one they choose to share - divulge - identify. This is my dream.

I well and truly do not understand how this type of unsafe insanity is still permitted.
If only @OttawaHealth @VeraEtches and @OCDSB had the authority to re-instate such simple things as a mandatory mask policy to help protect us….. Oh wait - YOU COULD!
Both @OttawaHealth and the Ontario Science Table are reporting rising wastewater, expecting a case surge, and advising people to wear masks, days before most mandates are lifted. covid19-sciencetable.ca/wp-c…

I know things are awful - but Ottawa peeps - if you can, get outside! Warm sun - coat unzipped - hat off - and no mitts!

Yes, please. This would show us that you are more committed to science and evidence, @VeraEtches, than you are to simply falling into line, politically. Masking is easy and effective. There is no good reason to end it until the pandemic ends.
Hi @OttawaHealth and @OCDSB - how about doing us a solid, and maintaining masks in schools and vaxx passes for all @ottawacity public facilities? Never too late to do the right thing. No need to be 🐑 to bad decisions of @fordnation. It's one reason to have decentralized power.

Gentle reminder @OttawaHealth -- kids under 5 are unvaccinated. As a parent of one of them, I am not willing to put my child at risk of contracting w/o vaccination. Have done everything you have asked for last 2 years. Don't abandon families with little ones, please!

Who else agrees that Ontario’s decision to drop the vaccine passport today…is a mistake? ✋🏽

The Children's Health Coalition released a statement saying "now is not the time" to drop masks in schools. toronto.ctvnews.ca/doug-ford…

Kabul, Kandahar and Herat were civilized ancient cities before outside machinations aided and abetted their destruction. Baghdad is an ancient city.....but clearly there is a a hierarchy of citizenship and refugees. Terrible and tasteless
Hierarchy. "This isn't a place, with all due respect, like Iraq or Afghanistan ... This is a relatively civilised, relatively European (I have to choose those words carefully too) city, where you wouldn't expect that or hope that is going to happen."
