Extremely annoyed by David Onley's either dishonest or ignorant statements. Not only is the statement "but Canada was good to slaves" irrelevant to anti-Blackness and the monarchy, it's also a bullshit lie that Canadians tell in the act of nationalist mythmaking. /1 #cdnpoli If this guy is gonna try to use an ad hominem about how many history courses the brilliant @wickdchiq has taken to try to win a debate about racism...which he clearly has no qualifications to argue...let me just undo the "history" the man was spouting. /2

A humble thread: in reflecting on the #CancelCulture Harper's letter, I realized--

It's not the consequences to actions that ppl who decry the made-up-thing that is cancel culture despise.

They despise that consequences are now levelled by ppl who once had very little power Like... consequences to actions have always existed. It has always been a thing that you could lose your job, status, popularity, whatever because you had the "wrong" morals, identity, acted in certain ways or espoused certain opinions...

1/ Since #CdnMedia has 0 shame & continues to ask boring, obvious, useless Qs, & since I'm scheduling this tweet at midnight both delirious & exhuasted from the past 2 wks & since I have nothing to lose b/c I have no desire to be a journalist

#BlackLivesMatter #DefundThePolice 2/ I present to you (FOR FREE):
Questions the #CdnMedia can ask instead of "DoEs RaCism exist???" that acknowledge that racism **DOES INDEED** exist (BUCKLE IN):

1/ The CBC needs more Black producers. And to cut the crap. #BlackLivesMatter
#JusticeForRegis
I was tapped yesterday to appear on The Current this morning to discuss "George Floyd and Amy Cooper."

When I asked if we would also talk about Regis Korchinski-Paquet, I was told: 2/ "I checked with the team, and while we want to look at the issue as a whole we do want to focus on George Lloyd and Amy Cooper. It's an 8 min slot so if we start to get into all the other elements of the conversation (Regis, Breonna), we would run out of time.

Hey Twitterverse! In addition to Sandy & Nora returning tmrw…allow me to gush abt this project I’ve been working on @BLM_TO . Let me first say how *grateful* I am that this project is finally being released to the world. #cdnmedia #canlit #cdnpoli #BlackLivesMatter /1 Image Just over five years ago a number of us in Toronto embarked on a local mobilization project that began as a singular demonstration one cold winter night in late 2014 & became a significant voice in the international movement for Black lives. /2
