How can educators make neurodiverse children feel included and supported?

Signed! I think this is important.

This is a reminder that almost all adult men who sexually abuse children do not meet a clinical definition of a “pedophile.”

They prey upon children because they want to overpower vulnerable victims. And no one is given less power in our society than children.

Classroom confidential Despite promises of improving school safety and transparency, child protection experts say Manitoba’s new teacher registry conceals more than it reveals

Behind the education degrees and the lesson plans, dark secrets can lie hidden.

Child protection experts say Manitoba’s new teacher registry conceals more than it reveals Despite promises that a new teacher registry launched at the start of the year would enhance transparency within the education system and improve children’s safety, critics have dismissed it as weak, ...

#mbpoli There must be a #publicinquiry into the people and organizations that continue to benefit from covering up abuse in #Manitoba schools if you’re serious about stopping it.

The Coming Canadian Storm: MAGA'S Next Move "It is with humility and appreciation that I accept Damien Kurek's offer to resign his seat…" — Pierre Poilievre, three days after losing the 2025 federal election

The election is over but the MAGA onslaught against Prime Minister Carney and Canadian unity has only just started.
In the gangster world of Putin, Trump and trolls, Canada is a threat because we are a democratic nation.
My reflection on the coming storm.

Seeing multiple reporters posting that the post-debate media scrums are cancelled???

You mean to tell me the commission is so scared of having to have a backbone against grifters that they’d rather deprive us ALL of the question period than actually tell the cosplayers “you guys have to go”???

When I was elected I was threatened with ex-communication for supporting same sex marriage rights.
My young daughters weren't having it.
Instead of going to church they get their Easter news from Norman Jewison. They turned out alright.
They like Simon's resistance.

Pierre Poilievre lying about his crowd size. Is there anything he isn't currently lying about?

Catching up on a few things I haven’t had a chance to clip yet — did you know Poilievre, speaking in French, called UNWRA terrorists and said he’d stop giving any funding to them????

Absolutely horrifying position given UNWRA’s integral role in providing humanitarian aid to the region.

America’s northern blind spot Scenes from last night's Poilievre rally in Oshawa.

National media were instructed not to speak with people lined up outside the rally — or inside — even though many were willing to share their thoughts. Local media and Rebel News wandered freely in and out of the crowd. #pierrepoilievre #cdnpoli

YouTube video by Rachel Gilmore A few announcements and a lot of screwups: day 13 of the campaign trail

Well folks, we made it. It’s Friday the 13th (day of the election).

On the campaign trail today, there were some announcements -- and there were quite a few blunders.

Two more candidates also got the boot.

Oh, and did you hear? I had a little announcement of my own today!

Pierre Poilievre and his handlers are AVOIDING questions by many journalists. Pressuring them to know what the questions are beforehand. Pushing and shoving journalists.

Pierre Poilievre is a weasle. He wants soft-ball, pre-planned questions from Rebel "News".
