    Some professional news: My Massey fellowship is done (best experience ever). I'm back at the Star, but am hanging up my columnist boots after almost 9 years to now be an investigative reporter. Want to take different approach to topics of importance and in the public interest. 🧵

    Rex Murphy getting a platform to air opinions on racism, a subject on which he has neither study nor experience, while completely qualified, racialized people don't get jobs in newsrooms, is peak white privilege. #CdnMediaSoWhite.

    I am Hindu. I have lived in Canada for quite a few years now. I’ve sometimes felt unsafe with white supremacists. Never felt unsafe/ don’t feel unsafe because of a Sikh person. Khalistan supporter or otherwise. This tweet below is a load of bull.

    Err. This is still the same white guy who compared homosexuality to dog tails and hasn’t apologized, and legitimized a xenophobic yellow vest rally and hasn’t apologized, right?

    Scheer says he is shocked, says what Trudeau did is racist, and it was racist in 2001. Says Canadians see Trudeau is unfit to lead.

    Several Ontario doctors tell me they are being hauled up for supporting Palestinian rights including for signing a "don't bomb hospitals" petition. Higher-ups have told them there were complaints and accused them of making Jewish colleagues feel unsafe.

    This is the mayor of Canada’s 7th most populated city. Enough said.

    Cost of the convoy to the economy is billed at what, $3 BILLION? Imagine if Canada has instead donated $3B worth of vaccines to the world, we would have been farther ahead in blocking COVID and ending mandates. #VaccineEquity

    How a six-people Whatsapp group burgeoned into a 100 volunteer strong non-profit in 6 weeks. @wick_22 and @VancityReynolds have become the public faces of Conquer COVID-19, but it began with two other Canadians, two Muslims, to be precise. #RamadanMubarak thestar.com/opinion/star-c…

    Dear Canadians: May I request that for the next little while we shush & listen with humility. Now is not the time to wonder “why genocide” nor to play devil’s advocate. Amplify Indigenous voices. #MMIWG. Reconciliation is a chance we have been given to make things right. Take it.

    Canada ABSTAINED. Years later when everyone’s piously saying “Never forget,” never forget this where Canada stands on this again and again.

    After years of keeping this convo in-group, I wrote about the unbearable anti-Blackness among brown folks, here and globally. That we’d rather kiss the ring of whiteness than be associated with Blackness has turned us into white supremacists in brown skin.

    I am an immigrant. I know many immigrants. Not one came here just to “collect dough” @fordnation. What’s more - this is important - we have just as much right to be lazy and dough-collecting as any Canadian, should we chose to be. Tired of the good vs bad immigrant trope.

    Premier Ford says he's looking for "hard working" immigrants to help fill the labour gap. "You come here like every other new Canadian, you work your tail off. If you think you're coming to collect the dough and sit around, not going to happen. Go somewhere else." #onpoli
