WE ARE NOT CA$H COWS!! Students from Emily Carr University are tired of seeing the institution being underfunded. International students are tired of being relied on to keep the institution alive. @Dave_Eby @selinarobinson @EmilyCarrU #bcpoli #funditfixit #bced

Really, @CBCTheNational I am happy to simply explain all this on air and what is at stake. There is only one set of facts here.

I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.

Justice remains to be done here but without @AngelaSterritt dogging this it would be just another day, another moment of casually violent racism, with no hope of change. It's a hella good example of why paying for good journalism matters in a just society.
