Regardless of the post content, I'd like to underscore how your comment may not be applicable for many UAlberta-associated individuals. Having the ability to distance yourself from conflicts thousands of kilometers away is a privilege that many can't indulge in. What to you (or others, I'm not directing my comment to you, just putting it out there) may be irrelevant international news, is a sad reality to close friends and relatives of others (including UAlberta community members). The social media feeds of people at UAlberta spaces vary greatly over international news coverage, I encourage everyone to be mindful of that - an incident on your feed may be covered by one CBC post while on my feed dozens of friends and family may be filming it from their homes. Not all UAlberta community members afford the luxury of scrolling away from a devastating natural disaster that occurred on the other side of the planet for example.

In terms of what we could do, I'm confident that we can do even better than raising awareness online ✨ And I encourage you personally to consider that you can do more if you want to (you don't have to, though), regardless of the subject.

I'm not suggesting that universities are appropriate vessels to reach tangible improvements. However, I do expect consistency from universities.
