I was curious, why would people call for a boycott of Cafe Landwer? Is it about the political actions of the business (e.g. is it a Zionist business, as protesters said on Saturday), or is was it targeted simply for being Jewish-owned? Here's what I found.

The Ford government doesn’t care about free speech or democracy. This is a shameful, bullying move that will chill freedom of expression and does franchise constituents. Shame on Ford and his cronies.

So many people are like "Do you know what's a radical idea instead of solidarity with trans people? This second wave feminist idea I just invented myself, right now, at age 26."

Mr. Dressup (Ernie Coombs) is a Canadian icon, but puppeteer Judith Lawrence also helped shape our childhoods.
Let's learn more about her!
She came to Canada from Australia at the age of 22 & created Casey & Finnegan while on Butternut Square. When Ernie Coombs started Mr. Dressup, she joined him. She remained on the show until the late-1980s.
Along with creating an iconic part of our childhoods, she also wrote many books in The Young Canada Reading Series, and co-authored books for D.C. Health on women and work.
In the 1960s, she co-founded The Voice of Women and in the 1970s she sat on the National Action Committee on the Status of Women.
She also wrote for publications like Broadside, where she expressed her views on peace.
In 2001, she was awarded the Order of Canada.
She has lived on Hornby Island, British Columbia since she retired, where she is a community leader, farmer and designer of the recycling depot.
Living with her in her home are the original Casey and Finnegan puppets. She even brought them out for a video in March 2020 to encourage people to isolate and socially-distance.
She said that its not unusual for people to begin crying when she brings out the puppets.

I’m disappointed seeing the convos of theatre-makers in Canada who hold firm to an idea that there is one way to experience theatre, and it needs to be "polite" and “respectful". These words are often coded with elitism, as are many instances in this article. Three antecdotes:
What is theatre etiquette like in Toronto? And is there a solution to people wanting to sing along at jukebox musicals? I explore those things and more in an article in @TorontoStar. thestar.com/entertainment/st…

Hi Toronto queers: now that Mark Saunders is running for mayor, it’s extremely important that we don’t let him forget that he presided over Toronto during the reign of a serial killer, and that he almost allowed said monster to keep killing us because he didn’t want to be wrong. – at North Grenville, Ontario

A friend just reminded me that gay bars used to end the night with three slow songs so we'd go off into the night after swaying around holding each other and I think we should bring back that tradition.

It’s probably a good time to talk about how many women in politics have experienced abuse or harassment and said nothing because of the power dynamics and fear for their careers. John Tory is the tip of the iceberg

BREAKING: The City of Toronto has officially voted against implementing 24/7 warming centres to protect unhoused people from suffering & freezing to death.
The way this city treats unhoused people is just disgusting.

Welcome to Toronto, we don't have swimming lessons, reliable transit, public toilets, not-gross garbage cans, remotely affordable housing or adequate sewer capacity
Which is why we will spend $50m more on our budget's biggest line item, which addresses none of those problems
