1. On this night 119 years ago, Toronto burned.
Here's a thread about The Great Fire of 1904 — and the strange, grisly tale of the one life it claimed...

I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.

251 Kamloops.
180 Carlisle.
104 Brandon.
38 Regina.
35 Lestock.
And now 751.
1 is 1 too many.
This is genocide.
These are crime scenes.
Genocide and racism are not accidents.
This is the settler-colonial project that is Canada.

SEVEN. HUNDRED. FIFTY. ONE.
751 unmarked graves have been found at a former residential school by the Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan.
The next time someone tells you "This isn't Canada", tell them it is.
This is a country built on genocide.
Steph Applin retweeted
Genocide is not only a part of Canada's history, it's ongoing. When will see more than bended knees, broken promises and apologies? We are grieving #215children Why aren't flags lowered?
And where's the action on MMIWG2S? And Clean drinking water?...
STOP the genocide!
