At their core, schools aren't interested in having open discussions on divisive topics - and without discussion, there can be no resolution. #endthedivide

Until we change our academic culture, real students will continue to suffer and perhaps be physically harmed.

Without learning to live with uncomfortable situations, we'll face years more of division, mistrust, and group think. #endthedivide

Discomfort isn't the enemy. It's a signal you're moving outside lines you've set for yourself... and that's usually good.

Recoil is there to protect you, but it can also prevent growth. Personal growth is our first priority if we actually want to #endthedivide in society.

Many will not acknowledge their part in the creation of mass suffering, even when given space to do so. Use this to learn and grow instead of holding onto anger.

3 years of pain, trauma, and loss will be swept under the rug if we cannot navigate post-C*vid pandemic discussions with love.

DEI is a massive topic with many nuances. But one thing's been forgotten: We dishonor it when we make it into a parody of itself.

When different methods create the same results - division, mistrust, rifts - they cannot be called a solution.

If you fix exclusion by including some people at the expense of others, you aren't solving the problem.

No politician or social system is a substitute for us putting in the hard work.

Put thought into action. No one else will miraculously appear to "fix" things.

Academia currently values PRESTIGE > QUALITY. When will that change? #education #AcademicTwitter

Academia: "Listen to underrepresented voices." "But only if they're peer reviewed!" (a place of privilege and group consensus). We can't have it both ways. #education #AcademicTwitter

Modern academia has a problem. Too often, scholars are celebrated for how well they conform to established opinions instead of for innovation. #education

Things the 🇨🇦 government has been untruthful about in the last 100 years: A) Japanese internment camps. B) Residential schools. C) The 1970 October Crisis. Why should we suddenly assume they always tell the truth?

As Canadians, we often think we have no reason to be wary of our leaders. But "hindsight is 20/20." In other words, it's only 'fine' until it isn't - and then it's too late. #endthedivide

Trust in institutions is admirable, but blind faith can be dangerous.

It's true that Canada has a pretty good track record of government/citizen trust compared to many countries. But 'pretty good' still isn't flawless.
