I live in Toronto, so it feels weird to be hearing ads from Danielle Smith on local radio. Is this where we are now? Do other Premiers take out ads in other provinces? Outside of an election cycle? Is it just me?!? #cdnpoli

I just turned off the water in the shower and was about to step out, when I realized I hadn’t actually soaped up. That’s teacher tired…

Thank you Toronto Public Library for a great evening with Waubgeshig Rice in conversation with Rosanna Deerchild. Waubgeshig Rice, thank you for your works, and more importantly, thank you for being an outstanding person. I am beyond honoured you remembered me 🙏

The Holocaust is a layer of Judaism, not a pillar. It’s a significant part of Jewish history, but not the only thing to learn about Jews and Jewish culture #JewishHeritageMonth #onedmentors

DEI can’t be about excluding and silencing. Spaces need to be carved out for everybody in your school. That includes Jewish students #OnEdMentors

Didn’t get to share this on the podcast, but recently had the mom of a Jewish student say in an email “stay safe and please keep them safe.” I could feel her fear, and it haunts me #OnEdMentors

Two of my favourite Yad Vashem Holocaust educators together, as Rabbi Moshe Cohn introduces Lori Gerson before her session on Avraham Peter, who went from ghetto boy to rocket man. #YVeduConf

Another incredible session from Yad Vashem educator Lori Gerson today, a timely lesson on teaching about current antisemitism. This session alone was worth the 9316 km journey to #YVeduConf

Yes, there was a seven-hour time difference and a trans-Atlantic flight involved, but if you can explain how I got 27 standing hours in a single day without bending the laws of physics, you are smarter than I…

Update to yesterday’s parking lot remote key fob mystery. Not the end of the world, but rather car thieves using a signal jammer to prevent someone from properly locking their car?!? Person thinks their car is locked, goes in shopping, and thieves just open the door…

At some point, politicians can’t keep saying “this isn’t who we are as Canadians”. Because 2024 is proving otherwise. #canpoli #Antisemitism

Read and loved the play script of 1939 by @janilauzon last summer. Finally saw a production today at Canadian Stage and just wow. Wow. Powerfully performed

Happened to catch the True Story documentary about truth and reconciliation last night, and it was so great to see, hear and learn from Waubgeshig Rice again!
