This is a shallow op-ed, padded with vapid cliches, that fails to meaningfully address why people objected to your disruption of the event.

Watch as I confront the CEO of Air Canada about the unacceptable treatment of flight attendants who work tirelessly, yet often unpaid. It's time for airlines to prioritize fairness and respect for their hardworking employees. Let's stand together in support of #UnpaidWorkWontFly

Our full page plea to PM @MarkJCarney in today's @TorontoStar, begging him to do more to end genocide in Gaza. For there is much more that Canada could & should, in fact is obliged, to do in the face of genocide. And we should have done so months and months ago. Almost two months ago, on June 9th in advance of hosting the G7 Summit, 500 law professors, lawyers, academics, former ambassadors, and civil society, faith and labour leaders wrote to him. We implored him to take advantage of that leadership opportunity to catalyze G7 action to end the genocide: alexneve.ca/blog/prime-minis… Instead, there was G7 silence. We have yet to have any acknowledgement of our letter from either PM Carney or Minister @AnitaAnandMP, let alone a substantive response to the detailed, concrete recommendations (legal obligations) we presented. Not a single word. That we've had no reply is not okay. But more to the point, that there has still been no meaningful action and only more empty words that are never backed up with consequence, is deplorable. So we've repeated those recommendations. We expect and demand action. We refuse to allow this despicable failure and craven refusal to end genocide to stain our collective national conscience. torontostar.pressreader.com/… (page A5)

As Pride Month wraps up, we take a look at the pioneering LGBTQ comedian and activist Robin Tyler. In 1979, Tyler became the first out lesbian comic to appear on national television. She used both her humor and her platform to become an important voice in the push for LGBTQ rights and equality. @johnyangtv sat down with Robin Tyler for more.

Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.     While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.   Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.
