This is @WestJet finding a loophole in accessibility legislation as a way to avoid providing service to some disabled passengers. People who use power chairs generally require more assistance. This is not a coincidence. @Stephanie4BC

I have flown on WestJet planes - including their small Dash 8 twin prop planes - literally hundreds of times in the past 20 years, with a power chair that weighed 450 lbs. Weight was never discussed as a problem.

Boycott @WestJet for discriminatory and arbitrary weight restrictions on power wheelchairs.

Sending all my love to survivors and others impacted by sexual assault. I stand in solidarity—in rage and grief—against systems that normalize sexual violence and discredit women and other targeted people. EM deserves a better world. We all deserve a better world.   If you are

Just because someone doesn't stop you from having sex with them does not mean it's a free-for-all. Just because you can, does not mean it's ok. These guys knew enough about consent to seek evidence of it AFTERWARDS. They knew they were in the wrong.

Hockey culture is the embodiment of toxic masculinity, with perpetrators not only given a pass over and over and over again, but congratulated or 'high-fived' over it. E.M. was not safe.

This is bringing me to tears. If you know nothing else about this case, know the hockey culture is violent and misogynistic, particularly in group or 'gang' settings. https://t.co/6tPRAoTOxE
