The #BEY Green candidate is giving away seeds native to Mexico and retweeting The Post Millenial content. 🤦🏾‍♀️This election is just a constant stream of disappointment. #onpoli
Amplifying conservatives to own the liberals is a good reason for me to cancel my Green membership now.
Of the 5k ppl I follow the only mutuals are greens 🤔 Image
In case people are wondering why I would take such a hard stance for people wanted to be elected into leadership roles amplifying this 🗑. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Post_…

Bradford admits he has had beers in parks despite voting against it. OK.
He's worried about bad actors breaking bylaws (not "responsible adults"), despite him breaking the bylaw and his staffers being ok with dog owners letting their dogs go offleash in playgrounds (also bylaws breaking). Sounds like white man privilege to me.
@shawnmicallef This interview is insane! He keeps talking about bad actors but saying her has broken the bylaw himself more than once.

Tuning into the #BEY interfaith debate. Unfortunately they decided to platform a white supremacist from the New Blue Party who just went on a rant about "critical theory".
When asked about solving homelessness, Angela Kennedy says the PC party has made a list of homeless people and what they need?
New Blue "Money won't help schools, political theory is the problem" Apparently he was a college professor? 🙄

I tuned in to the interfaith Beaches-East York debate. It's one of the few which decided to give the PPC candidate a platform. I won't tweet the whole thing but maybe some things that jump out.
One thing the PPC candidate started with was that he is new to politics and he apologizes in advances for not being politically correct. *people nodding their heads* It's frightening that people think this is reasonable.
Now the PPC candidate is saying "too much equality will mean socialism, marxism, etc." something something govt handouts, people need to survive on their own means and be resilient. 🙄

I received this disappointing email from @FairVoteCanada dedicating paragraphs to my #LPC MP for his "action" on electoral reform. The thing is, he was elected on this promise, & it was a lie. He continues to run for & support this party who will not implement ER. Image
They gave 2 lines to the candidates who are running for parties that will implement ER. So which is it @FairVoteCanada? Do you want us to support complicity or vote for change? #Elxn44 #cdnpoli
they give him kudos for asking his govt to apologize for this. No. I don't want an apology. I want to vote in people who will make it happen. That should have been the focus of their email.

It's #PollinatorWeek so let's bust some myths which often come up when I give presentations or talk to folks. Note: these will be Canada-centric. #savewildbees #PollinatorWeek2021
#1 Bees die when they sting: Honeybees are the only sp. that I know of w/ barbed stingers that get stuck when they sting. They have colonies w/ 10-60k workers & if some die while defending it's less of a big deal than for native spp.

#2 Bees are striped yellow & black: bees are incredibly diverse. There are 20,000+ spp globally and they come in all sorts of colours & sizes. In Canada, the sweat bees are the largest group and they are mostly grey, green & silver!

Tomorrow is #WorldBeeDay and I can already see the status quo (i.e. pro-capitalist, pro-colonial, overly simplified and just plain wrong) narratives are going to dominate.
To be clear, I'm ok with the day being used to discuss managed bees, their use in intensive ag., the struggles the industry faces etc. But to conflate this as a wildlife conservation issue is just wrong.
This paper shows the consequences of these dominant narratives. E.g. ppl think all bees are endangered, ppl think pesticide use and loss of flowers are the main threats, ppl think honeybees are native species, ppl unsure whether HBs can replace all bees.
