Seeing antisemitic and anti-2SLGBTQ comments on my article, someone reached out to ask, āI wonder if you will be yet another woman in politics forced to leave because of relentless threats to your personal safety and that of your loved ones?ā
No, I will not be chased out.
I will advocate for the space to be safe for everyone.

The comments here are appalling. According to Stats Canada, 60% of religiously motivated hate crimes target Jews. The #OCDSB has specific measures to counter anti-Black & anti-Indigenous racism. Given the virulence of #antisemitism in #Ottawa schools, we need this initiative https://twitter.com/ctvottawa/status/1614585717463683072

(e.g. several students absent with flu).Our Principal keeps citing privacy concerns and won't tell us anything. Is this a school board level thing?

I obviously can't stop thinking about what happened at the #OCDSB board meeting last night.
On the surface, this was about masks, as the convoy was about vaccines and truckers.
But it's really just about the mob. The bullying is the goal. That's their only play.
Last night, it was mob rule applied to an issue that should be pretty innocuous (wearing masks at school in a health care crisis).
If we don't find ways to resist the mob, how will we ever address real, larger challenges?

I have no doubt the antivax/antimask crowd that disrupted last night's meeting was welcomed by her.

Even more profoundly sad about the state of affairs at #CHEO and that a handful of people felt justified in shouting while Chief medical officer Dr Lindy Samson talked about unparalleled levels of illness, maxed out capacity and cancelled surgeries.
Huge respect for the trustees who navigated the debate with such composure (and bravery!!)
