@ayeshahazarika I'm being harangued by the #Sussex Squad for my earlier comments. I can take it, but I'd like to say that as a journalist, @ayeshahazarika , you rely on race as a starting point far too often. It speaks to a poverty of ability. Lucky for you that you have such a powerful platform.

@canmericanized @Carolyn_Bennett @PierrePoilievre #Safesupply just means more practicing addicts on the streets. Drugs have been decriminalized in Portugal--a country the libs like to point to as a compassionate role model--but they have a lot of rehabs and no safe injection sites. Bennett needs to retire.

I've seen children abandoned by drug and/or alcohol addicted parents, and these "progressive" social workers are yanking two of them out of a foster home bc the Christian parents wouldn't lie about the Easter bunny. They should be fired.

@NightShiftMD @globeandmail It's inflammatory, but speaks to the disgust Cdns feel seeing zombie addicts on the streets. Disgust matters when it comes to public policy, something PP has worked out. Shaming people into accepting addicts causes resentment. Cdns are afraid of these drugs for a good reason.

@ayeshahazarika IMO, it's progress that skin colour matters less than "character." H&M crassly monetize their royal connections, eg. #princeHarry 's suit was #Dior , who wasted no time capitalizing on this on social media. He turned his appearance into another $$$ opportunity. That matters.

@janephilpott @PierrePoilievre Respectfully disagree. I've spend time in and around the recovery industry. Safe supply does not work well with these new classes of Uber-powerful drugs. Alberta, with its emphasis on recovery (designed by a former street addict) is much better. Besides, would you volunteer to

@PetronellaWyatt He didn't win a suit. He strong-armed a senior into making a 1000 pound contribution to a charity. Andy Plumb is a former drug user, so he probably had strong feelings about the young person in the centre of this scandal--you know, the person we should REALLY be concerned about.

@60Minutes H&M had already done the Oprah interview and implied that a family member had asked a "racist" question about Archie's skin colour. The family didn't want conversations amongst themselves to become public. #PrinceHarry only has himself to blame. #HarryTheInterview #RoyalFamily

@clairlemon When referencing problems in the Middle East, Hillary Clinton cited excess men as a major source of the conflicts. JBP approaches that same issue from another angle and all hell breaks loose. He's not advocating anything--he's using colourful rhetoric to state a well-known fact.

@mjaeckel In grad school, where I was criticized a lot, I came up with a formula. 50% of the criticism was probably fair (or fair-ish); 50% was probably not. I listened & kept an open mind. It took a while--and yes, some tears too--but eventually I realized most ppl were not out to get me.

BBC Persia has confirmed that the woman waving her white hijab, who became a symbol of the Iranian resistance, has been arrested by authorities. She has a 20-month-old child and her fate is unknown. #Where_Is_She

@clairlemon @beneltham @jordanbpeterson A lot of 'disciplines' have disappeared. Alchemy, phrenology, physiognomy. In Canada, scientists are trying to stop the accreditation of homeopathic 'doctors.' Women's Studies is too antagonistic to other fields (that would add value and richness). On its own, it's parochial.

@andrewaperez The harmful nature of easily accessible porn is becoming more apparent. Talk to young women who are now trying to have "normal" sex with young men who have been conditioned by porn. You're not trying hard enough to understand the problems PP is addressing.

@jordanbpeterson ESL students have taped my college English lit courses (for the obvious reason that they found it harder to keep up). Having myself taped improved my teaching, forcing me to be clearer+more concise.If you have substantive content, taping shouldn't be a problem.Put politics aside.

@Beth_Levy66 What advocates are missing is this: people will have more latitude to demand that #addicts leave an area because the addicts won't have a place like a safe injection site at which to hang around. Working + middle class Torontonians deserve safe spaces too.
