Fresh off the presses... @joannelaucius: "The new Kemptville jail has been frozen for four years. Here’s why" Read the article published in today's @OttawaCitizen here: ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…

Doug Ford government should "reverse its poorly-informed decision...if it doesn't, more people will certainly die."

Incredible support for Ottawa Pride! It's a party, a celebration and total support for liberation! Nothing performative about it. Human rights for everyone NOW!

Joined a couple thousand friends earlier for @FierteCapPride to stand in solidarity with Ottawa's 2SLGBTQT+ community. Despite it all, Pride was BUSTLING. Happy to stand with folks who support human rights for everyone.

I stood outside the Shaw Centre in Ottawa to speak out against Ontario's decision to ban supervised consumption sites near schools/child-care centres, forcing 10 sites to close by March 2025. These sites save lives—they are a lifeline, not a "drug den." We will not go away. 🖕🏻

Carleton 2SLGBTQIA+ Statement in Support of Capital Pride tinyurl.com/5n6wd83k

Are you a member of the @Carleton_U community? Outraged about Carleton's withdrawal from Pride? Channel your anger. Sign the letter below and join us on Sunday when we return to the roots of pride. Streets. Protest. Liberation for all. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

1/ Since @uOttawa's admin didn't widely consult or even bother notifying students, staff and profs about the decision to divest from & boycott @FierteCapPride in #OttCity, at some point @recteurUOpres & co. will need to answer some basic questions like...

Frustrating to see local politicians and large orgs like @CHEO claiming to speak on behalf of the Jewish community in relation to the Pride statement when really they're only speaking to some Jews. I'm a Jew in solidarity with Palestine who will be attending Capital Pride.

I'm a professor at Carleton. I support the organizers of capital pride. A huge contigent of profs from U of O and Carleton will be there with bells on. We know what's going on here.

@_MarkSutcliffe Shameful failure of leadership by @_MarkSutcliffe. Can't criticize Israel's actions in Gaza because it makes people feel "hurt" and "unwelcome". Here's the actual statement from Capital Pride: capitalpride.ca/capital-pride-…

Ottawa is a kind and welcoming city where everyone should feel included. I'm disappointed that despite conversations with the Jewish community, the board of Capital Pride has chosen to stand behind its original statement that caused significant hurt and distress for many members of the Jewish community. This decision by the board, days before the start of Pride, has unfortunately created an atmosphere where many now do not feel welcome to participate. Pride has always been and should continue to be a celebration of diversity and inclusion where no one feels excluded for who they are. I encourage the board of Capital Pride to take steps to ensure no one feels excluded this year.   It's important to continue to support the 2LGBTQ+ community and defend the values of equity and inclusion that the Pride movement has always stood for. I will be attending Pride activities in the days ahead but unless there is a change in approach, I will not be participating in events organized by Capital Pride this year.

Mark Sutcliffe: "Ottawa is experiencing a financial crisis." Also Mark Sutcliffe:

Urgent plea from courageous doctors and healthcare workers from this country volunteering on the front-lines in Gaza.

71-day #uOttawa encampment was a heroic effort. Thank you so much, students and everyone else who supported.
