So sorry to hear about the death of Peter Rosenthal, a fierce defender of social justice who was vocal about abuses of power. He spoke to me, and the Star, countless times, but this @liamdevlincasey profile might be my favourite. RIP. thestar.com/news/crime/peter…

Peter Rosenthal’s passions for law and math make for a beautiful, if different, life

At 72, lawyer and professor is still in love with his two jobs and says he plans to work until he dies.

When we were in Neskantaga last summer, we checked in on the aftermath of a suicide crisis ten years ago. A month ago, the man helping lead suicide prevention programs lost his granddaughter to suicide. With beautiful pictures by @ChrisYphoto tvo.org/article/neskantaga-f… #onpoli

Neskantaga First Nation works to uplift community since suicide crisis 10 years ago

A state of emergency officially remains, but the community announced a small milestone this past summer: there had been no suicides in Neskantaga for three years.
