This building (Formerly an LCBO) is vacant and has been for a couple of years. When it was first proposed we begged the LCBO and the province to put temporary housing on top… now they could just put it inside around the corner from #129Peter #refugees

Apparently, someone with decision making power decided to dismantle this beautiful little garden previously located on public housing property. Punishing community members, especially low income folks, for claiming & being good stewards of their spaces is bad policy & cruel.

I'm heading off Twitter too Mike Morrice for these reasons plus the intentional indulgence of hate.

With both Ben Weinlick and Diane Roussin 🦦 inspired by ਇਮਨਦੀਪ ਕੌਰ | Imandeep Kaur I'm wishing hard I could be hearing this offering. Can't wait to catch the harvest. #SIUKI

Super interesting Tim. I know the UK invested big time over the years. Do you see any comparison to the state of #socent in Canada?

'Simply placing women in high-ranking jobs is not enough. Social attitudes matter. If these prominent women are treated with social disdain ... following in their footsteps becomes unappetising.'
Gotta keep smashing the patriarchy: it holds ALL of us back.

📢 We have a new letter to sign!
