@antihate.ca Team, I wanted to flag something of possible interest. My account on Nextdoor was suspended for posting my support for #OliviaChow. Supporters of #Bradford were engaging in some of the worst #Islamophobia I've ever encountered, yet the community moderation is banning Chow supporters.
I provide some receipts in this post. www.youtube.com/post/UgkxH7x...
I wrote this about my experience with #BradBradford's AI-fuelled bot army here. www.youtube.com/post/UgkxH7x...
I was attacked by an #AI bot army on #Nextdoor for saying I was voting for #OliviaChow... I'm not alone. youtu.be/OwsrsC7hW2s

I've been working remotely since the 1990s and this is how #corporate #Canada works... The fact that #universities and #colleges aren't preparing students for this work style is bizarre to me. #HigherEd #AcademicSky #OnPoli youtube.com/shorts/pTu19...

Again for context: a majority of Canadians (& Albertans) want strong climate policy and renewables, even if they have just felt the need to self silence due to spin. "In fact 70% of the public [& a majority of Albertans] would feel pride if Canada were to become a renewable energy superpower, vs...

The only brief respite for me as a student AND instructor in #Ontario #postsecondary was remote learning. It helped when I was too broke to even commute to classes, which is an experience shared by a lot of students and instructors. #AcademicSky #OnPoli #universities youtube.com/shorts/vJPg5...
Like a lot of #postsecondary instructors in #Ontario, I am out of work. I don't think I can accurately describe to you how bleak things are for #students and #teachers right now in #Ontario. I share my own experiences as a student AND a teacher. #OnPoli #AcademicSky youtube.com/shorts/Hzud1...
