I’ve been told the #antisemitism and #antivaxx anti-mask attacks are my own fault, for speaking.
I’ve also been explicitly told that I don’t understand racism/equity.
In my opinion, advocacy as an MD and @OCDSB trustee should never lead to people saying they want to gas your family. But what do I know?
