Much talk today of standing with people.
We need action, not talk. Families in the maelstrom of mental health crisis often left to struggle alone.
We have a crisis driven intervention system when a support and prevention one is needed.
Stand with families before they are in an alienating crisis.
Chris CorriganTruth and power
I’m sceptical about any politician that says they will lower grocery prices by instituting tax cuts or providing rebates to consumers who will just spend that money on inflated grocery prices. Solutions need to be structural. Public grocery stores might be part of that solution, however. I had no idea about US energy markets and the role that meteorology plays in them.
While ideas of 'harm' in the 1970s were mainly in the material domain, today harm is seen to reside if speech acts as much as physical acts. This opens the door to a great many possibilities for use of disruptive sound as a 'justified' protest tactic.
Since the 1970s the domain of 'offensive' speech on campus has widened significantly. Tactical disruption by shouting and use of amplified sound has become a key feature of campus protest.
Current protest tactics (well, not just current ones), often involve shouting down the opposition.
In the past UBC has disciplined community members who used disruption to silence others.
