The National School Food Policy was released today!
We’re pleased to see its solid foundation in global research as well as how much it is in line with our Guiding Principles and what was heard through public consultations. Read our brief analysis is here : healthyschoolfood.ca/post/re…

My publishers have kindly allowed me to share *two full* chapters from Doppelganger for free. These parts speak directly to the Mirror World politics of Israel/Palestine. They might help in those hard-to-have conversations over the holidays. Pls share!

Not only does a robust #SchoolFoodProgram for Canada spare parents a part of the frenzied morning panic and make sure that kids don't sit through classes on an empty stomach, but it also is an opportunity to support the local economy and the environment.

While #schoolmeal programs cost $18.7 billion/year to run, they provide nearly $40 billion in human health and economic benefits, providing at least $21 billion in net benefit to society even when we measure only their benefits to human health & economic equity.

Over 147,000 people in Toronto have outstanding fines and many of them can't use the library at all. We can go fine-free and open up library services to everyone denied and discouraged by fines. That's why I signed @progresstoronto's petition: nwmd.io/s/twitter/ZhM4BzHEHP…
