CBC/Radio-Canada has paused activities on its corporate and news Twitter accounts, after the social media platform put a "government-funded media" label on its @CBC account, in its latest move to stamp public broadcasters with designations. cbc.ca/news/world/cbc-twitte…

I've been absolutely shattered this week by the sudden accidental death of my dear dear friend and mentor, Chris Brookes, audio genius, wonderful human.
Thank you to @cbcideas for giving me the chance to write a few words about my friend.

Tonight on @cbcideas, @Sanchez_Perez_J speaks with @NahlahAyed about the Huarochirí Manuscript and Andean philosophy.
The manuscript was once a tool to identify & eradicate “idolatries.” Today, it’s a tool for revitalizing Andean thought.

There are racially segregated spaces in Canada we just don’t talk about them as such. There’s an invisibility of exclusion in public & private institutions/clubs/agencies/schools. Because the exclusion may not be explicit/codified or intentional it’s ignored, but it still exists.

It’s been a while since I flipped on the radio to hear my own voice. A bit disconcerting. If you missed it on @cbcideas today, you can listen to my In Defence of Democracy lecture for @TheSamaraCentre here: cbc.ca/radio/ideas/keep-figh…

This week, @cbcideas is re-airing The Idea of Home. Getting to speak with so many extraordinary people for this series was one of the highlights of 2022, and I'd be thrilled if you tune in - online or on the radio.
Very grateful to everyone who spoke with @NahlahAyed and me!
