For those interested, tonight at 9:00, CBC Radio will be broadcasting a radio production of my play, SIR JOHN A:Acts of a Gentrified Ojibway Rebellion. Episode one tonight, episode two next Sunday. Part bio of SJAM, part comedy, part musical, part buddy play. Hope you like it.

A little more info re the grad change. Students would take 4 credits in one of the following. The provincial courses also statisfy other grad requirements in ELA/SS so this wouldn't mean reduction in # of electives unless students choose to take the requirement as an elective.

Please remember social media is not broadcast. 13% of Canadians are on twitter and your YouTube and TikTok feeds are not for everybody — they’re made for you. You control what you say, not what you see. And what you see isn’t representative of 🇨🇦 as a whole. #protip

Freedom to Read Week starts today. Canadians enjoy Freedom of Expression which includes freedom to chose what we read. “Censorship does not protect society; it smothers creativity and precludes open debate of controversial issues.” #rtla38 #sd38learn @bctla

This is not how we do it, folks. @TashaSpillett’s work is important - she and her work should be in the classroom, without exception. Urging teachers and administrators to set an example and invite Tasha to your school. Kids need to hear and read her.
