Zur Abwechslung könnten ja mal diejenigen zurücktreten, die das Spiel verloren haben und nicht der, der die Luschen trainiert hat.

Ersatzweise gibts erst wieder Geld für alle, wenn sich Leistung wieder lohnt!

#EngageWR is holding a Great Places contest where residents of Kitchener can vote for some of the really neat buildings / initiatives (like the Kitchener Art Walk!) in the city. There were details about some buildings in there that I had no idea about. If you live in the region, take a moment to vote - there's a chance to win $50 in Downtown Dollars. Not to mention telling the city what you value.

Really enjoying that #WaterlooRegion is actively looking to consider people with #disabilities and the #gender and #age aspects of cycling.

« Des médias au Canada anglais, aux États-Unis, au Royaume-Uni, en Inde et à Montréal ont traité de l’attentat la journée même ou le jour suivant, mais le Devoir n’a publié son seul article sur le sujet qu’une semaine plus tard, le 4 juillet.

La journaliste Stéphanie Marin y soulignait que, selon le recteur, l’agresseur a « enfoncé son couteau au cœur de la valeur la plus importante des institutions académiques : la liberté académique ».

Depuis, plus rien dans les médias du Québec, pourtant obsédés par l’enjeu de la liberté d’académique. »

Des universités de l'Ontario retirent des sites les informations relatives aux cours pour des raisons de sécurité ; les facultés veulent être consultées

« Suite aux consultations menées cet été et dans un souci de sécurité, les informations relatives aux locaux ont été retirées de l'outil de création des horaires des étudiants de premier cycle mis à la disposition du public par l'université. Compte tenu de la taille de nos campus, les bâtiments continuent d'être identifiés pour aider les étudiants à planifier leur emploi du temps en tenant compte du temps de déplacement entre les cours», a écrit un porte-parole de l'université de Toronto dans un communiqué.

On dirait bien que ça ne fait réagir personne du côté de la «défense de la liberté académique»

📰 University of Waterloo removes course details from its website in wake of triple stabbing

"The University of Waterloo (UW) in southern Ontario says it is removing some details of its courses from the public domain after a triple stabbing on campus in late June that police have said targeted the LGBTQ community.

The university says on its website that after an assessment of its response to the June 28 attack inside a gender studies class that left an instructor and two students injured, it has decided to remove class locations and instructor names from public websites."

#windrushmonument #waterloo wish the government would put its money where its mouth is and sort this compensation scandal - a monument is NOT enough!

They didn't SAY it's Liberty Counsel (anti- #LGBTQ Florida extremist group) behind the "pending or threatened" lawsuit.

But there's reason to believe it is: The group just won nearly $1 million in a settlement from the City of Tampa over a similar ban.

Meetings in #London today. Thought I’d get here at 0600 and have a bit of an explore first. Breakfast on Cannon Street, then a walk back to #Waterloo via the Millennium Bridge and the Southbank where I took a semi decent picture of #TowerBridge.

My verdict is:

London is nicer when no one is here
A lot of people appear to jog to work. Weird.

Next stop Stratford; home of the London #Olympics and the invention of being mugged at knifepoint

Did you know that the first female supercentenarian (someone reaching the age of 110) was also the first person whose life spanned three centuries?

Margaret Ann Neve was born in Guernsey in 1792. Her father was a wealthy privateer who died aged 49.

She remembered the #French #Revolution & visited #Waterloo just after the battle. She was married but childless. She did not eat or drink between meals, climbed an apple tree aged 110 & got her first ever illness at age 105.

She died in 1903.

Today in Labor History August 16, 1819: Police attacked unemployed workers demonstrating in St. Peter's Field, Manchester, England. When the cavalry charged, at least 18 people died and over 600 were injured. The event became know as the Peterloo Massacre, named for the Battle of Waterloo, where many of the massacre victims had fought just four years earlier. Following the Napoleonic Wars there was an acute economic slump, terrible unemployment and crop failures, all worsened by the Corn Laws, which kept bread prices high. Only 11% of adult males had the vote. Radical reformers tried to mobilize the masses to force the government to back down. The movement was particularly strong in the north-west, where the Manchester Patriotic Union organized the mass rally for Peter’s Field. As soon as the meeting began, local magistrates tried to arrest working class radical, Henry Hunt, and several others. Hunt inspired the Chartist movement, which came shortly after Peterloo.

John Lees, who later died from wounds he received at the massacre, had been present at the Battle of Waterloo. Before his death, he said that he had never been in such danger as at Peterloo: "At Waterloo there was man to man but there it was downright murder." In the wake of the massacre, the government passed the Six Acts, to suppress any further attempts at radical reform. The event also led indirectly to the founding of the Manchester Guardian newspaper.

Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote about the massacre in his poem, “The Masque of Anarchy.” The authorities censored it until 1832, ten years after his death. Mike Leigh’s 2018 film Peterloo is an excellent portrayal of the massacre, and the events leading up to it. Many writers have written novels about Peterloo, including the relatively recent “Song of Peterloo,” by Carolyn O'Brien, and “All the People,” Jeff Kaye. However, perhaps the most important is Isabella Banks's 1876 novel, “The Manchester Man,” since she was there when it happened and included testimonies from people who were involved.
