❗New Entry❗

Reparative citizenship may aim to right past wrongs, but @peterspiro.bsky.social argues it actually weakens the foundational concept of citizenship itself 🛂⚖️

It is unsentimental, instrumental, detached from the community and erodes civic ties 🧑‍🤝‍🧑🚫

I don’t doubt that some of my co-religionists have experienced antisemitism. Sometimes aggressively so.

But it’s use as a cudgel to destroy institutions essential to our country has absolutely nothing to do with that.

Reparations aren’t just about citizenship, what if refusal is the remedy?

Shame on the handful of people who wore their expensive winter gear to city hall yesterday to protest the establishment of overflow refugee shelters in their communities.

More than 3,000 people are homeless in Ottawa.

ottawa.citynews.ca/2024/12/13/o...

Ottawa’s homeless population has more than doubled since 2021

There are almost 3,000 people in Ottawa experiencing homelessness, according to new data released by the city. On Oct. 23 dozens of volunteers canvassed the municipality for the Point-in-Time (PiT) count, a snapshot of the number of people living without a home. It is a national effort that helps governments and agencies understand the number […]

I’m what I hope is at least half way through my first Covid infection - and I have to say, everything about this experience makes me confused about why we have decided to let it run rampant when we could … not.

The City of Ottawa has a gorgeous history of welcoming those fleeing oppression - and we can and should draw on that history to continue to do so.

Ariel Troster @arieltroster.com · Nov 10

Everyone deserves a chance for a good life. Ottawa has a history of welcoming refugees and newcomers.

Let’s draw on that compassionate tradition and fight the racism and disinformation circulating right now.

Housing is a human right. Refugees are welcome here.

I know we can do better, Ottawa.

Thank you to the *16* people who responded so thoughtfully to my defence of mandatory citizenship oaths. Below is my attempt at a response! Short version: citizenship oaths build trust and formalize new political affiliations in ways that newcomers find meaningful.

Thanks Davia! We read this, and it just says that folks should wait til they test negative on 2 RAPs over 48 hours, which is ok. But after 17 days, I was just wondering if that is still what we ought to do. Feels like a long time and we all miss our guy! But don’t want to put us or others at risk

Patti T Lenard @pattitlenard.bsky.social · Jan 2

Fair. Problem for us is that OPH just says five days and you’re free so hard to know what the responsible thing to do is.

Advice seeking, @dfisman.bsky.social: my partner has been testing positive for 17 days, and isolating the whole time. Only remaining symptom is a lingering cough. Is the right thing to do to continue isolating? (Me and one kid still covid virgins.)
