This is just all kinds of wrong. This man should not be getting money. He should be barred from teaching anywhere. #SexualHarassment This man hurt people. A lot of people.

The young woman involved (remember, she was 19 and he was in his late 50s) has decided not to go to trial and be re-victimised. This happens all too often.

I know some of the young women this man abused and bullied. And I believe them. The University is culpable as well. A learning institution has a responsibility to provide students with a safe learning environment. No one should be subjected to this kind of harassment.
In my 14 years of post-secondary education, I have encountered some toxic profs. But this really takes the cake. He crushed talented young musicians to feed his ego. He took advantage of his position. This is entirely shameful.
And now, to have the arbitrator, Arne Peltz, not only rule that the university owes him money, he also said he should get his teaching job back. That is not what unions are for. They are not for putting predators back in their hunting grounds. Shame on Mr. Peltz.
This is a gross miscarriage of justice. #IBelieveTheWomen
@umanitoba You need to do better. You knew what was happening and you ignored it because he was a star. Students deserve so much better. This man hurt people and you let it go on. cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

@angryablib @TheBreakdownAB People in Alberta don't care. As long as it's conservatives doing it, they don't care. Kenney fired the Elections Commissioner that was investigating his leadership election. No one cared. The party was also being investigated by the RCMP. No one cared. They have changed laws to
@angryablib @TheBreakdownAB retroactively get themselves off the hook about things, and also to allow themselves to accept large gifts from lobbyists. No one cares. They want to arrest homeless people and force them into rehab, (which seems like a clever way to funnel public money to their friends who have
@angryablib @TheBreakdownAB suddenly got into the rehab business and no one cares. They created a "War Room" that they fed millions of dollars of OUR money into every year and we can't see where that money goes and no one cares. They were giving billions by the feds for Covid relief and they "misplaced" the

I just feel the need to say, Conservatives go on & on & on about freedom. Yet their campaign team employ persuasion methodology that can affect what you think. Shouldn't freedom to not have your thoughts messed with, without your knowledge, be the #1 freedom?
#cdnpoli
Because, yes, they are doing things to try to influence what you think. And their techniques take many forms. From getting people to broadcast specific messages to their friend groups and encouraging re-broadcast, to buying and disseminating poll results designed to make you
change the way you think about a subject. To repeating simple, sing-songy slogans over and over and over until they get stuck in your head. To spreading lies and disinformation backed up by "credible" MSM who never fact-check and just repeat the talking points as though they

And yet another poll measuring something irrelevant. Canada is not "broken". Depite what Poilievre and the CPC and the news media want you to think. For example,

The Canada Election Act of 2000 regulates the technical disclosures required by polling firms during elections. However, in non-writ polling, authenticity, ethics, and honesty are self-regulated. Poll results are often used to try to push public opinion. For example,
1/ #cdnpoli
we are probably familiar with ads that say things like "82% of dentists recommend using X toothpaste." That is bringing the weight of expert opinion to bear on consumer choices. But it is also true that if you tell people that 78% of their fellow citizens think a thing, they

are likely to feel that maybe they should think that too. People don't like to be outsiders. Most people tend to prefer to fit in and go with the flow. So a very simple strategy for changing or directing what people think about something is to tell them that most people

When conservatives cut taxes, when Harper and the CPC cut taxes, they did 2 things. They cut corporate taxes on sucessful profitable companies. And they created tax credits that only people who made enough money could use. For example, the child sport tax credit. If you
#cdnpoli
can't afford to put your kid in sports, no tax cut for you! Because clearly the family that needs tax cuts is the one that has 3 kids in hockey, right? Of course the people with 3 kids in hockey will say "yeah, that credit helped", but would they have had to pull their kids out
of sports without it? Probably not. Tax credits for people who are doing pretty ok is not helping regular or vulnerable Canadians. Harper had tax credits for snowmobilers for goodness sake. Anything to lure in voters, segment by segment. Now it sounds like Poilievre has no plan,

It absolutely stands to reason that the extremely wealthy are opposed to anything that will shave even a tiny bit from their enormous holdings. That their descendants for generations will never have to lift a finger for themselves is of no consequence. There is a thing
#cndpoli
that afflicts the very wealthy, you see. There is no such thing as "enough". A lot of us breathe a great sigh of relief when we crunch the numbers and see that we will have enough for this month. Enough to pay the rent, buy food, pay for transportation and utilities, etc...
But the uber-rich don't have to think in those terms. They may never have worried about paying the rent. Some, probably quite a few, have never struggled to make ends meet. Some were even born into the yachts club and have absolutely no idea how regular people live. So,
