and in more “people need to understand how important language is to the under- and misrepresented” news

started my first micro album on the 4 track, working through lots of internal knots, working hard to remind myself how much I like being alive and working really hard on having empathy for myself

It was announced today that before the Syrian refugee crisis exploded in the media (due to the drowning of a syrian boy), Stephen Harper had completely frozen refugee claims into Canada.

This commentary is so important. Harper has been playing defensive the whole time because he didn’t want this story to come out (though he had been preparing for it), and now it has. 

[iceboundolive]

Please read this, please share this, this needs to be known. This is what our Prime Minister has been doing. This is what the man who is likely to be reelected has been doing. 

There’s no doubt no my mind that he froze the system to stop Muslim refugees. The man is a paranoid, xenophobic racist and the fact that he had been getting away with this is just disgusting.

Please get out and vote on October 19, just please don’t vote for this man.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Its worse than that.

As CTV’s Robert Fife uncovered, this freezing of refugees was done deliberately not only to screen out Muslims, but to favour other non-muslim religious minorities with the goal of politicizing them for this election:

Sources tell CTV News that a temporary halt to the processing of some Syrian refugees was ordered earlier this year to make sure the types favoured by the Prime Minister’s Office were being prioritized. Department of Citizenship and Immigration insiders told CTV’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife that PMO staff went through the files to ensure that persecuted religious minorities with established communities already in Canada – ones that Conservative Leader Stephen Harper could court for votes – were being accepted. Insiders say PMO actively discouraged the department from accepting applications from Shia and Sunni Muslims.

Columbia University student Emma Sulkowicz carried her mattress across the stage at her graduation ceremony this morning. Sulkowicz and her friends have been carrying the mattress around for the whole academic year in protest of the way the school handles sexual assault issues.  As New York Magazine explains, for her senior thesis in visual art, Mattress Performance (Carry That Weight), Sulkowicz vowed that she would carry her dorm-room mattress whenever she was on campus as long as her alleged rapist remained on campus. “The piece could potentially take a day, or it could go on until I graduate,” she said. 

For more on the project, check out our podcast “Feminism on Campus.”

YEG Community: YEG Women and Trans March!

This week Anna joined me on Femwaves to discuss the upcoming YEG Women and Trans March: https://www.facebook.com/events/569369179866581/

https://www.facebook.com/events/396307557216944/

Not only did they speak about the importance of the event and a few of its goals, but Anna also mentioned that the fest is still looking for the following: ASL interpreters to donate their time and skills; vendors to sell either their goods or services; financial donations/support; and folks who are interested in running booths, workshops or skill shares. You can check out the Facebook event(s) for more details and contact info :)
