The city of Montreal and @Val_Plante must do better
We have yet to hear back from @Val_Plante with regards to this letter.
The simple demands of an official apology to the victims and the creation of an independent body to manage complaints seems to have fallen on deaf ears. We are at City Hall right now will you answer these questions today? @CTVMontreal @Global_Montreal @CBCMontreal @CityNewsMTL @CJAD800 @CdnPressNews @TheSuburbanNews @globeandmail @ckut @EnsembleMtl @projetmontreal

David Lametti whose PM wore blackface decides to take the nearly unprecedented step of interceding on the side of SRC in an appeal where SRC defends using the n-word 4 times - 3 in French and once in English. An apology to a Black man was too much. cbc.ca/news/politics/crtc-ra…
Unbelievable! What exactly is the issue with asking media to give a bit of context before saying such a loaded and harmful word on air,@DavidLametti ? If the AG’s foremost responsibility is to defend Canadian laws, shouldn't this also include defending its citizens?!
last June Canada's broadcast regulator asked @RadioCanadaInfo to apologize for using of the n-word on-air without a content warning
now the Liberals are asking a court to set aside the decision. is apologizing to Black people a threat to free expression? cbc.ca/news/politics/crtc-ra…

A #WealthTax is a reasonable and common sense way to reduce skyrocketing inequality, by making the rich pay their fair share.
Almost 50,000 Leadnow members have signed the petition calling for a wealth tax, and this week we took our message right to Finance Minister @cafreeland.
Svp faire circuler - sa famille est très inquiète et on souhaite qu’il soit retrouver sain et sauf le plus vite possible

The letter says that whilst the world has gone through an immense amount of suffering in the last two years, we have seen our wealth rise during the pandemic, and very few of us—if any—are paying our fair share in taxes.

SIX reasons for getting kids 5-11 vaccinated as soon as they are eligible!
1- Protect children from Covid-19 illness, hospitalization and death.
ALT Protect children from Covid-19 illness, hospitalization and death Canadian pediatric cases have been lower because we have been through extended lockdowns and schools were closed in many provinces. However, in the US, among children 5-11, there have been 1.8 million cases, 8622 hospitalizations and 143 deaths due to Covid-19. This vastly exceeds illness caused by influenza.
