Can’t wait to spend a month seeing people with power post rainbow pictures while doing the bare minimum to support our communities. Rainbow logos and performative statements are not what we need. We need action. We need to confront hate. We need to do more for 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 people.

"That he not busy being born is busy dying'' In 500 years, if there’s still people, they’ll be quoting Bob Dylan and it’ll still sound new. What I love about Dylan - he’s a student of the game. And he rewrote it. Happy Birthday Robert Zimmerman

In 30+ years in newspapers, I’ve never known anyone with a more human touch with his subjects than ⁦@tonysunphoto⁩. Here’s Tony with two-year-old Hadly, whose twin brother died at CHEO two weeks ago.

I have not seen the video. Those who love me most have urged me not to. One of the truths playing Kunta Kinte taught me is that the dehumanization of Black people was necessary to the success of our enslavement.

I want to tell a story about King Charles III. It’s shaped a lot of why I am a supporter of the present-day Monarchy and our new Monarch. A longish thread 🧵 1/12

Such sad news today. @SusanSherring helped me get into journalism (I was super-green J-school student intern who covered her mat leave) and she always supported me during my 13 years at the Ottawa Sun. One of a kind. twitter.com/McSweeneyMikeB…
Michael McSweeney@McSweeneyMikeB

Terrible news this morning. @SusanSherring, long time Ottawa #journalist passed away. She was found yesterday by her son Peter. All her friends will be shocked & tremendously saddened. She loved Ottawa politics. # Rest In Peace Sue. You will be sorely missed. #canpoli

This is my kind of dad, advocating for his son .. @DavidChenTweets would come on radio with me to tell your story? People need to hear it.. DM me. Thanks

My autism spectrum disorder kid is the different kid in the class. We invited all his classmates to his birthday party today & only 1 showed up. Difficult to explain to my kid & that kid's mom that only one classmate came. Not making assumptions but still an empty feeling day.

Last night's attack in Buffalo is beyond disturbing. Racism has no place in this community, and we stand with the BIPOC & Jewish communities of Ottawa. Check in on friends/family who may be affected by this. If you need support, resources are available: ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-heal…
