The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Crisis then, crisis now.
Almost 30 years ago, sport leaders rejected an inquiry into sex abuse in Canadian sport, as it could revictimize people and drive others for cover.
They chose a communal approach to address this “serious issue.”
It failed, and athletes still wait.

Meet Margaret McKinnon (@MckinnonIn), professor @MacPsychiatry.
A harrowing, near-death experience set off a sequence of events that helped her establish herself as a foremost leader in what we know about trauma and posttraumatic stress.

We are aware of recent reports about our sailors struggling with housing in the Halifax region.
These are concerning & we are actively investigating.
None of our serving members should be homeless.
If you know of a sailor or other CAF member who needs help, my DMs are open.

The attacks on Israel are unconscionable and the suffering immeasurable. McMaster @cupe_3906 members, are you aware your union has issued a message in support of these attacks? Demand that it be pulled down. NOW. You can make a difference.
