@Hephaestus7 I teach her short story " The Management of Grief," which is a fictional representation of the Air India bombing in my classes.

@chandri_mac Re: Air India crash in Ahmedabad sends reverberations to Canadian families of Air India Flight 182. The late Bharti Mukherjee, co-author of the 1987 book, The Sorrow and the Terror regarding the Air India Flight 182 tragedy, was my creative writing teacher at McGill.

@MeghanSNagpal @CBCTerry Some of us are trying through our courses in post secondary institutions and here is a website under construction seeking to educate Canadians and provide resources that can be integrated into the classroom and used for general learning: …indiaflight182.humanities.mcmaster.ca

@ShachiKurl @CBCTerry Would there be anyway to integrate knowledge of Air India 182 into the school curriculum? My parents lost friends on this flight and this was a Canadian tragedy. Shouldn’t future generations of Canadians be aware of this dark piece of Canadian history?

Hello. Today, June 23, is commemorated as National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism. How many Canadians know why? The answer, very sadly, is very few. But I'm going to make a thread about this that I hope will be informative ... I invite you to follow along. #airindia

39th anniversary of the bombing of Air India Flight 182 that killed 329 passengers and crew, mostly Canadians of Indian descent. It was the largest mass murder in Canadian history. Yet, it is little remembered in Canadian history and public memory. #Airindia182 #kanishka

Today, June 6, at 10am. Please see updated link below. @McMasterGPSJ @McMaster_CHRRJ @mcmasterhum

🚨Al-Helal Al-Emirati hospital - the last functional hospital in #Rafah - went out of service on 30 May. The two other main hospitals in Rafah, Al-Najjar and Kuwaiti hospitals, stopped functioning on May 7 and May 28, respectively. There are almost no health services available in Rafah city. Only one field hospital remains partially functional, but it is currently inaccessible due to hostilities in the vicinity and can only provide basic services to patients inside. Two field hospitals are functional in Rafah's coastal area (Al-Mawasi) but they are extremely overwhelmed given the scale of needs. With hostilities escalating due to the ongoing military operation, the lack of health care will lead to increased unnecessary deaths and suffering. Hospitals in Rafah urgently need to be restored. However, without safe access, a sustained flow of supplies into and across Gaza, and reliable conditions for delivering those supplies to the facilities that need them, @WHO’s ability to effectively support the health system is severely challenged. We repeat our plea for a ceasefire.

Incredible day! Inspiring conversations full of insights. Thank you @alphaabebe and @abldmcmaster
