Sensationalized reports about students at York Memorial have created a narrative that blames the largely Black, lower-income student body for the school’s problems—while ignoring the TDSB’s role in the crisis, writes @royinori. thelocal.to/york-memorial-wa…

Today, I visited Anima Mundi, part of the Vatican Museum with Indigenous “artifacts” kept in the Church’s private collection. There is an “Ontario”pipe stove from the 18th century, Haida Gwaii masks from the 18th Century, much more. I photographed them and was asked to leave.

1996. That’s when the last residential school closed
I graduated in 1995 from one of them.
Don’t tell me or anyone else that this was a long time ago.

Our people have been telling these stories for generations. This is not news to us.
What I wanna know is the names of the people who worked at these schools and committed these atrocities because many of them are still alive and out in the world with no repercussions.

You can't make this up. In the midst of an international scandal about @UofT terminating a hire over pro-Palestinian speech... there is now a petition urging @UofT to dismiss *another* faculty over pro-Palestinian speech.
@RitikaGoelTO is an amazing advocate. #ISupportDrGoel

This has happened and will happen again in Toronto unless we get ahead of it. I hope Hamilton can get a handle on this

The vaccine is supposed to be available to everyone, but the uninsured still can't book through the provincial portal & they've been turned away by some pharmacies. “The policy is there, but it’s not translating into practice,” says @vanessaredditt.

Great article by @BenSpurr covering the injustice occurring in Thorncliffe Park that Metrolinx is trying to ram through in a neighbourhood hit hard by Covid, in the middle of Ramadan. For those wondering about alternatives, how about the industrial park??? Why crush community?
‘I feel gutted …Why here?’: Thorncliffe Park dealt another blow as local hub to be demolished for new Ontario Line rail yard thestar.com/news/gta/2021/04…
Important thread. @Metrolinx is inflicting unnecessary suffering on Thorncliffe, like they did to Little Jamaica on Eglinton. Going after a racialized community's businesses, with no consultation, when there are better alternatives. Systemic racism is alive and well in Canada

Wow is this the wrong message from Health Canada! So bad. Now I'm going to be fighting the comment, "The government says nothing changes when I get the vaccine" from vaccine-concerned folks. The CDCs advice is much better on this. People need hope.

A close acquaintance of mine died from COVID on Sunday. What saddens me about her death is that she was offered the vaccine but refused because she wanted to see how others reacted.

MUST WATCH
Dr. Michael Warner walks us through the story of one patient.
A woman in her 40s who got Covid. Earlier today he fought to save her life.
But before the day ended Covid stole her from us.
Please listen to @drmwarner share his anger and heartbreak.
