Dear East Asian fam,

I’m writing to you as your Mayoral Candidate because the media & supporters of the status quo are doing their very best to exclude Black Candidates voices- as usual.

Have you been co-signing maintaining the status quo?

#TOpoli #ElectionTO #TORONTO
Have you shaken hands and made agreements against the interests of society, specifically Black Candidates in order to maintain the status quo?

Are you amplifying voices presented to you by the establishment?

#TOpoli #ElectionTO #TORONTO #OurCityHallToo #OurCityHall #OurToronto
Have you turned away from the public calls for “inclusion, end racism, stop racists, etc...” during this Election period & are instead prepared to publicly/quietly push what the establishment has been pushing just to get the results that we’re all against?

#TOpoli #ElectionTO
Are you giving your energy to folks who want your labour in exchange for some future promise at the expense of Black Candidates who know exactly what needs to get done at City Hall?

Why should status quo remain sustained?
#TOpoli #ElectionTO #TORONTO #OurCityHallToo #OurCityHall
Stop it!

Stop jeopardizing our ability to live and thrive by undermining & working against your own interests.

Perhaps my comments may be futile to you; but if I can spark in you the concept of humanity we need, I write to you here. You are family.

#TOpoli #ElectionTO #TORONTO
Together we succeed!

Together we defeat!

Together we ensure that we all have the ability to live & thrive!

Together. Together. Together.

Yes, @VidyaKauri Saron blocked me after I asked her about what @680NEWS broadcasted.

I tried to reach her by phone.

Note that I’ve also called out Saron and Jennifer Keesmaat for appropriating my ideas and touting them as their own. No #accountability there either.

When you suggest that Desmond is being anti-woman I ask you what aspect of deceptive practices do you identify with being a woman?

#accountability #integrity #transparency is lacking in Government, why is this acceptable for anyone?
Why would this be acceptable for Candidates?
Know that many things are done privately to address issues before something becomes public. We get all the facts, all the #receipts before issues need to be addressed.

We take #accountability & #transparency seriously.

@mcourcel @GautamNath @Michael_TO2018 @MayorTorontoTom @jpformayor @jimruelformayor Thanks for asking @mcourcel!

Accessibility is a right- not an option!

My entire #CommunityWellness #inclusion Mayoral platform centres #accessibility as a priority.

Overview
accessible housing
#farefreeTTC
@mcourcel @GautamNath @Michael_TO2018 @MayorTorontoTom @jpformayor @jimruelformayor My #CommunityWellness #inclusion Mayoral platform continued @mcourcel, accessibility is an election issue!

#ElectoralReform

I am an advocate for accessibility & disability rights.
Our City has been inaccessible for too long.
#Accessibility enforcement.
@mcourcel @GautamNath @Michael_TO2018 @MayorTorontoTom @jpformayor @jimruelformayor I chose YouTube & Twitter to share my Community wellness inclusion Mayoral platform because it guaranteed me audio for Community members who are Blind or have low vision and closed captioning for Community members who are Deaf or hard of hearing.

Together we succeed @mcourcel!

This is not a fact check. It's a bad take, @AP @AP_Politics, a false check.
When two sides hit a budget impasse, they pass continuing resolutions to continue status quo as negotiations continue.
Shutdowns happen since 1995 only when one side refuses CRs to change status quo...
2/ In 1995, Gingrich & Dole refused to pass a status quo continuing resolution. Their CR included Medicare premium increases, environmental deregulation & a balanced budget requirement.
Clinton held out for status quo and negotiation.
Conclusion: GOP caused shutdowns for 5 weeks.
3/ The 2013 shutdown was similar: Obama, McConnell, and Boehner had a deal for the basic status quo with some cutts, but Sen @tedcruz and the tea party House members blew up that deal in order to defunding the ACA.
Conclusion: the GOP caused a shutdown for two weeks.

Listening to the excellent @KevinClimate argue we could make a massive step towards addressing climate breakdown by just doing this: ‘if the top 10% carbon emitters reduced their carbon footprint to EU average that would cut global CO2 by 1/3’ #ExtinctionRebellion
#PECgrowth
Alternative view: Professor Robert Pollin argues if economic response to climate change is anti-growth, we risk ‘only achieving a 10% reduction in CO2 (not enough anyway) and triggering a reduction in GDP 4x greater than Great Depression’. Calls for Green New Deal. #PECGrowth
@MollyMEP argues for radical yet transitional economics ‘it’s like trying to change an aeroplane into a helicopter midflight, so important to make transitional changes eg with Citizens Income people would feel job security without need 4 economic growth to create jobs #PECGrowth

So the then young, Boomer farmers who stepped into their parents’ shoes were hitting a double squeeze:

they needed to replace hardware (and 1970s machinery sucked just as bad as 1970s cars!)

and

the crop support structure had just been kicked out from under them.
This is why we ended up with Farm Aid in the early 1980s.

Also, the new Boomer Farmers were not having as many kids as their parents had, and they didn’t have as many brothers and sisters as their grandparents had, so there was just a simple labor hole forming in the Ag sector.
(Now we’re seeing those same Boomer farmers, the few who survived, doing the same thing, but with a generation of isolation & frustration & economic anxiety stacked on what Earl Butz (curse his name) did. Compound interest isn’t just for banks. They had help turning this awful.)

Here’s a long thread on this very informative @Poli_Climate podcast hosted by @JMPyper, featuring a senior Trump EPA political advisor, Mandy Gunasekara, in the agency’s air quality office.

Buckle up. 1/ greentechmedia.com/articles/read/…
This senior advisor in EPA’s air & climate office happens to be the very same former staffer for Senator @JimInhofe who handed him the snowball on the Senate floor for his infamous snowball-climate change stunt. She discusses that on the podcast. (33:00) 2/
During >1-hour interview, this EPA senior air advisor doesn’t ID ONE rule/action that the Trump EPA, Scott Pruitt & @EPAAWheeler have taken or will take to reduce air pollution & improve air quality significantly beyond status quo. Just rollbacks.

Ponder how amazing that is. 3/

Writing Myths #3 Writing Portfolios are the magic way into the industry!!
Get a portfolio said the writing panel/advice/speaker in what is the latest throwaway simple advice that instantly builds a career…. So, let’s talk about them.
1/24
1)Portfolios are NOT magic. Simply having one doesn't get you a job. Tey are a tool to be used in chasing work and an increasing number of employers ask for them. Having one can be very useful, but just putting some bits of writing in the same place does not = instant career.
2) People tend to read your email first, then your c.v. and then portfolio. Mess up stages 1, or 2 and 3 may well not matter. Always rework your email, c.v. and portfolio for EVERY application. Focus on what matches that job/company.
