The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

“Yes, Canada is a generous, open country and Canadians are tolerant and kind. But never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness.” — Jean Chrétien, speaking at 9/11 commemoration in Gander, N.L.

We lost Canadians that day. We cried with you. We sheltered you. We answered the call from you. We fought with you We died with you. The single time article 5 was invoked was by you. In less than a generation we have been attacked by you.

Dear Americans, The president golfs every weekend while getting soldiers needlessly killed and and got mad that you get “too many holidays.” National strike when?

Hope you listened to this because VfB already won their first ever league match, and against a quality org in Hoffenheim. If you haven't, you should listen now.

The #VfBFrauen are about to embark on an historical season - their first in the Bundesliga! - so we thought why not take an unofficial, uniformed, & unprepared look into how it started, how it went, & how we got here! It’s as informative as it is brief! 🤔🤣 open.spotify.com/episode/5KnQ...

I'm loving scrolling my timeline today and seeing all the expressions of Canadian culture...I am also a little dismayed at how white all those examples are. Gonna do a thread of multicultural Canadian art etc here, please pile on with me.
