I asked Jaime Mitchell (a teacher in Ontario) whether he believes that it’s a sin to identify as trans, telling him in advance that I’d share it publicly. He said, “No.”

The FACT that you as a Catholic school board teacher are AFRAID to answer this Q publicly SHOWS how harmful your school board is.

That is quite an accomplishment.

It’s a challenging time for a nation to be a leader. It says a lot about the good leadership of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and now Prime Minister Mark Carney that Canada has been regarded so highly internationally for the last 10 years.

Montreal's largest school service centre loses more than 100 support staff due to new secularism law | CBC News Montreal’s largest school board has lost more than 100 support staff because they refused to remove religious symbols to comply with the province’s new secularism law.

Dear @maritstilesndp.bsky.social :

How can you continue to be in favour of approximately one-half of Ontario’s public school boards (ie. Catholic boards) from refusing to hire teachers who are Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Jewish, and other non-Catholic religions?

Peel police apologize for presentation to school board highlighting Black gangs The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board also apologized in a memo to staff after allegations of racism — before softening its apology.

With decades of actively teaching students that it’s a sin to live authentically as a queer person (despite queer equality in ON’s Human Rights Code), Catholic school boards in Ontario continue to show weaknesses in other EDI areas such as in anti-Black racism.

WATCH: Animal Justice’s executive director, @camillelabchuk.bsky.social, testifies before the Ontario Legislature on #Bill75. This groundbreaking legislation would end cruel experiments, like those done at St. Joseph's Hospital, on cats & dogs!

Together, we can make the bill even stronger. #OnPoli

Today, Animal Justice testified on #Bill75, which would ban cruel experiments on cats & dogs! 🐱🐶

We urged the Ontario government to strengthen the bill by ensuring it protects all dogs & cats from cruel experiments and that animals used in labs are rehomed rather than killed when experiments end.

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Teachers are not therapists and schools are not treatment centres. Until we acknowledge this fact and put the appropriate supports in place to proactively meet student needs, we will continue to set vulnerable students with complex needs up to fail… and we will continue to see a mass exodus from the teaching profession.

Teachers are not therapists and schools are not treatment centres.

That’s a really good playlist. The Reagan years were intense and traumatic with “Star Wars” and the nuclear missile buildup, and the music (like Frankie’s Two Tribes and Sting’s Russians) and music videos were made to match it.

The image says “I celebrate diversity. Day of Pink.”

Are you a leader in a Catholic school board in ON? Look around you. Look at your experience. You’ll agree that you’ve never seen a a school principal or school superintendent (a visible leader) who’s openly in a same-sex marriage or who is openly trans.

Accept that you are a part of this injustice.

Public funding for separate schools can be ended. There's precedent.

Not doing so is both cowardly and discriminatory.

Way past time to end public funding for catholic boards.

This is an image stating I celebrate Day of Pink.

Today is International #DayOfPink

Across Ontario, in public Catholic school boards, you won’t find a school principal or a school superintendent who is openly in a same-sex marriage or who is openly trans. That’s not allowed by Catholic school boards.

This anti-queer injustice by Ontario must end.

Happy Birthday Camille. Thanks for your fearless leadership of Animal Justice.
