THE OVERLOADED PLATE

Musings of a chronic doer

Are you a conservative, Conservative, or a Sheer Conservative?  They are three different beasts.

If you are a Conservative, that's fine.

If you are going to vote Conservative in the next election, then we have a problem because you then support your party leader Andrew Sheer. A vote for the Conservative party is a vote for a man who stands against all the things I hold dear: that social justice and equity should be the basis for all decisions we make, in our homes and in our parliaments, and that we should embrace and celebrate diversity.

If you approve of Sheer's politics, philosophies and warped sense of morality, I'm not going to delete you as a friend on Facebook or avoid you in real life because I'm hoping you will, in time, see his politics as toxic and antithetical to the Canadian ideal, and incompatible to life in a just, fair, and progressive society.

If you didn't vote for him as leader of YOUR party, and you don't believe in what he stands for, please, please, please don't stay silent. Let Sheer and the leadership know. Speak with your words, your letters, your social posts, your donations (or lack of) and your vote. Engage other Conservatives because is this REALLY the same Conservative Party you believe in?

On November 7th, 2017 I was honoured to be a live guest on SEX CITY, a "weekly discussion of sex and its many intersections".  The show is hosted by a revolving circuit of incredibly engaging hosts and can be found on CIUT 89.5FM, a campus and community radio station operated by the University of Toronto. 

I spoke about being a social justice educator in small town Northern Ontario and about the importance of equity and diversity courses in high schools.

Some of the questions included:

  • How long I have been teaching the social justice course I run?
  • What’s some of the curriculum covered in the course?
  • Why is it important for high school students to learn about these issues?
  • Do boys and girls sign up for the class equally or is there a gender imbalance?
  • What has the students’ response/reaction to the course material been like?
  • What else should be in high school curriculum that has traditionally been missing?

    I wear many hats and take on too much but I love every moment of being creatively busy.  I also form opinions on a wide range of topics but social justice and fairness are strong themes that vein my narrative.  Here is a collection of my thoughts, rants, ideas, musings, and writings.
