Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he'll invoke the constitutional notwithstanding clause to force through a controversial new policy, about gender identity and the use of specific pronouns in schools. For a closer look at the legal perspective, we spoke with Adam Goldenberg, legal lead for UR Pride.

Neither. Just tax the Westons more.
Should we cut the defense budget by $1 billion or cut the CBC?

So now that my union voted to give up the right to negotiate & strike as per the advisement of the union executive, whose primary job is to bargain and organize for potential strike action, can anyone explain to me why we have a union executive? #OntEd #osstf

I really didn't see it coming that the Libs mistakenly platforming a former Nazi...oh...excuse me..."a man who fought with the Nazis"...would be the event that ultimately demonstrated to me how "over" the Holocaust non-Jews are.

Most Jews in Ukraine were shot to death close to where they lived, not deported to distant camps. Their executioners were German but also Ukrainian, Russian, and other local collaborators" (USHM).

That old man, who received a standing ovation from the entirety of my federal government, served in a unit commanded by men who ordered the murder of Jewish babies like my son. So fuck the "complexity" and fuck the equivocation. And if that sounds like you, just fucking stop.

As I look at all the recent wins for labour, including the amazing effort and outcome by/for the @UAW, I'm left feeling like my own union, @osstf, has sold me out. Their rationale for pushing VBA makes even less sense today, after Ford's flip, than it did yesterday 🤷‍♂️ #onted

@YRDSB, where's our statement??? #TransRightsAreHumanRights
At the TDSB, we do not tell students who they should be, but welcome them as they are. Please read our statement ahead of planned demonstrations this week: bit.ly/45VyvO0

This is the apology a Houston school district sent to parents for assigning an illustrated version of Anne Frank's Diary to students. The teacher was fired for assigning it.
