Passionate about social justice and its many intersections: social and economic equity, reconciliation. Voracious reader of (mostly) Canadian literature, with a strong interest in German language and culture. Dog lover. I amplify marginalized voices and boost a lot about politics, labour issues, environmental issues, books. I also look for beauty and some humour.
