I’ll be co-anchoring the CBC coverage of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation alongside Adrienne Arsenault live from Parliament Hill - tune in on CBC News Network or CBC Gem at 11 am EST (10 am CST for you Manitobans)! See you then 🙂

In case anyone missed it at the time, a part of why schools handle sexual violence so badly is because perpetrators were more involved in writing Trump’s 2020 Title IX regulation. It literally comes up in the Epstein files.

its not simply about boycotting meta. one company has made their products indispensable for communication in the modern world. they blocked lulas electoral ads the week before the election. theyre trying to sway public opinion against the victim of a gangrape. states need to intervene.

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

HonestReporting Canada * @HonestRepCanada Recently in @TheHubCanada, Daniel Robson wrote that while Canada often condemns antisemitic attacks after they occur, Federal leadership, law enforcement agencies, and public safety institutions have struggled to act proactively to prevent them. Here are two concrete steps Canada can take right now to help prevent further antisemitic attacks. thehub.ca/2026/01/20/can...

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

And the media should treat as such. The separatist leaders are loons and grifters. Giving a platform to folks who think the King of England is scheming to assassinate them and people who have "allegedly" stolen millions of dollars from First Nations is dangerous.

The crisis in tech is ultimately a crisis of intersubjectivity. I'll bang this drum forever but I consider AI tech of this sort as arising from the historical logics underpinning social media, attention economy, influencing, etc down the line instead of some new, bespoke thing all its own.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

New petition sponsored by Liberal MP Arielle Kayabaga calls for a new criminal offence banning recording / publishing video of vulnerable people in public, including those who are homeless, experiencing mental health crises or impaired due to substance use www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
Petition to the Government of Canada 

Whereas: 

• Houseless individuals and those that struggle with mental health are especially vulnerable to exploitation given their circumstances; • The law currently allows these vulnerable people to be filmed and posted on social media without their knowledge and consent often while experiencing crisis; 

• This practice puts at risk the safety of this community by allowing those that may mean them harm, a tool to find them. This is especially relevant considering that this population that has a high number of domestic violence survivors and is at higher risk for sexual exploitation; • This act can increase stigmatization and of these groups by showing only snapshots of people suffering or in crisis, with no additional context or education; and 

• This community is unlikely to have the resources to seek out civil remedies and criminal remedies against harassment and thus should be afforded extra protection. 

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to create a new provision in the Criminal Code that would make it an offence to knowingly record in public, a person the recorder knows is experiencing "prescribed circumstance of significant vulnerability" for the purposes of publishing or distributing that recording to the public. "Prescribed circumstance of significant vulnerability" include: 

(a) experiencing homelessness; (

b) experiencing a mental-health crisis or other acute psychological crisis; 

(c) experiencing significant impairment resulting from alcohol, drugs, or another substance; and 

(d) experiencing another prescribed circumstance that substantially increases the person's vulnerability to exploitation or serious harm from public exposure.
