Some top tier signs from the Art Gallery of Ontario strike:

Anyway help these lovely people get a fair deal by emailing the CEO Stephan Jost ([email protected]) and telling him that the gallery needs to negotiate with OPSEU and get the gallery to reopen!

Chrystia Freeland said the NDP was delaying getting help to Canadians in Budget 2021. What she didn't say is that the NDP was trying to get her to back down from making $800/mo. cuts to CRB for 2 million Canadians on the heels of the 4th wave.

baby jenkinson

baby jenkinson is a tiny fledgling that posted up on my balcony in Toronto a couple years ago. Baby J waited for two delicious worms to eat, pooped on  his own legs, then got cranky and flew away. I think about him every day of my goddamn life.

Hello to my TORONTO POSTSECONDARY FOLLOWERS!!!! I’m doing a survey about the LGBTQ postsecondary student experience in the GTA - specifically about your satisfaction with your school’s student services - as part of my thesis. I would really appreciate if you can reblog, participate, or share with anyone you know who fits the criteria!

>>> http://bit.ly/LGBTQStudentSurvey <<<

I also have a downloadable poster if anyone is interested in printing a few to put up on their campus. You can find it HERE. Thank you so much!

(PS I think I overestimated the time it will take to complete. It says 20 min but I filled it in about five, so don’t let that scare you off!)

Saman is a young, Iranian-Canadian woman who is passionate about people.  She is the Policy Chair of the Iranian Canadian Congress, ran for provincial and municipal government in 2018 and is also an Anthropologist.  

As a candidate for two progressive campaigns in Willowdale last year, It was important to Saman to recruit a young and diverse team.  She believes that if we want to open up and change politics, we need to ensure that those who are newer to the process are learning skills to lead.  Saman feels that one of the largest barriers to getting involved in more traditional types of campaigns, is volunteers often do not see themselves in candidates, or as integral to the campaign - when in fact they are crucial.

Saman believes making politics accessible and doing the work to frame it as something personal, allows people, particularly young women and young racialized women, to become involved.
