Pros and cons......of violence. Ok
This is horrific. Early 90s. This is why we need to decolonize our history. My grade 5 child was given an assignment to write about the pros and cons of first contact! The pros and cons...when in our recent history we have indigenous children ripped from their families.

White fragility in the Union movement destroys any genuine solidarity. The wound of anti-Black racism is deep and it requires major surgery to fix it, not band aids or sedatives to cover the pain.
Imagine being told by your education union that "using the words 'white supremacy' in a space among your MEMBERS is considered 'harmful' and seen as 'harassment'"? That it makes members feel UNSAFE? How will we dismantle it if this is our perception of the term!? #OSSTF #ONTED

Joel, you are wrong. Period. There was nothing reasonable about killing a 62, yr old man barely able to move when the police didn't assess the risk of being on a balcony if their accounts are to believed. We also know of a tool called the taser gun. 1/ thepointer.com/

Approaching a mentally ill individual with high tech guns always escalates the situation. There was nothing reasonable about the killing. Not a good report @PointerBrampton A mental illness is not a reason for summary execution. 2/
The police will target us and they won't wear masks as they hug maskless white citizens as in #Peel.
I encourage you to examine how many people of colour — many of whom live in or know people who live in Ontario's harder-hit and under-vaccinated neighbourhoods — are reacting to this and the plan to empower police.

“Is this the disaster you were predicting two months ago?” @CBCLorenda asked a panel of experts Friday after they presented the latest modelling from Ontario's COVID-19 science advisory table. “Could the government have prevented it if it had followed the modelling?”

More than 4 years after a 6-year-old Black Peel school girl was shackled by her hands and feet for 28 minutes by Peel cops, the rights tribunal has awarded her family $35,000. (I find that amount insulting). Story by @millermotionpic and @Jleerankin: thestar.com/news/gta/2021/01…

I thank the @PeelSchools for this unprecedented communication. It is an ode to African & Black parents. It is a promise that it will do differently. And all are witnesses. Now we proceed to the "Truth & Reconciliation" process. @Sflecce @IOrughu @timvining @BlackBusinessNS #Free
