HATE FREE MUSKOKA 2025 SYMPOSIUM Join us in creating a safer and more inclusive Muskoka for everyone. Building on the success of previous events, Hate Free Muskoka aims to inspire action, learn, connect, and act. Together, we’ll explore how to foster welcoming spaces, address intersectionality, and challenge hate through allyship and bystander interventions. Panellists will share their lived and leadership experiences with prejudice, discrimination, and racism, shining a light on systemic inequities. They’ll also provide practical steps and strategies for strengthening allyship, supporting equity-deserving communities, and creating lasting change.

I love you all but as I’ve said before: social media is a Fisher-Price Steering Wheel.

Sure, the wheel turns and the horn works. But it’s not hooked up to anything.

Mark Carney should pursue renewable energy as a national project With sun and wind so affordable and safe, why would Mark Carney or Doug Ford opt for expensive nuclear power that leaves us vulnerable?

Two measures of music in common time on perpetual repeat. Quarter note equals 80. Three voices needed. Children's choir, which screams any sound they want on the first beat, sforzando. And then silent. Ar -15 which keeps a steady, nonstop beat. And Congress, which is always silent

A little ditty I wrote

On a brownish beige background are the words "Hire, involve, support" over the Editors of Color logo, which has block letters with "of color" enclosed in curly brackets. Below is the EditorsOfColor.com URL, and at the bottom is a digital illustration of colorfully dressed people of color.

On September 10, 2018, I launched the Editors of Color Database to raise the visibility of editorial professionals of color.

Like many POC, I was tired of being left out of projects, interviews, panels, and jobs because the people in charge claimed we don’t exist…

Driven by the pain of endometriosis, this scientist is uncovering clues to its causes Katie Burns is helping reveal the immune system’s role in the long-neglected disease

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

“I get up in the morning and I go out to my studio and I write. And then I tear it up! That’s the routine, really.” —Arthur Miller

We like to have fun here, we joke around, but we all need to get serious right now and address the biggest issue threatening our very survival: the absence of robotaxis in Europe.

Say a prayer to those poor Europeans, stuck taking fast, reliable transit through their dense and well laid-out cities instead of paying an oligarch $35 for the privilege of sitting in traffic on a 24-lane highway to get to the Chili's out by the interstate

I am beginning to think that we should not give men vast amounts of money or power.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.

Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.

Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
