      15. So, the private pushback against these tweets goes like this: @jonkay has evolved & changed over last few years.

      16. And it is true that @jonkay columns over last 3 or 4 years much more reasonable than stuff he wrote a decade ago.

      17. So it's possible that my concerns about this hire are misplaced, based on a distaste for @jonkay's pre-2010 politics.

      18. People do change and the generous hearted response -- from people with soul's larger than mine -- is to welcome those changes.

      19. To be honest, many of my reservations come from working at the National Post (off and on) circa 2000-2004

      20. When I was at the Post I was in a constant state of frustration at the gender and race politics of the newspaper.

      22. One way to think about @jonkay is how would young version of me - say a 22 year old Arab-Canadian woman - feel like at @walrusmagazine

      23. That last question, for me, can't be answered. But I want to put it out there. I has to be asked.

      24. Personally I feel like I have no future in Canadian journalism. The good news is that I have many other opportunities to pursue.

      25. Oh, look, folks. @jonkay thinks I'm the equivalent of Ezra Levant. https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/527602492247650305 … The new Walrus!

          @heerjeet Truth is geometrically determined. So long as two people have an opinion and I do not, I am correct.

          26. Note that the only response @jonkay has against anything I wrote is to compare me to Ezra Levant: an insult & not an argument.

          27. I realize the stuff I'm writing here is uncomfortable and not pleasant. I've spent a lifetime not talking about these things.

          @HeerJeet @jonkay perhaps he doesn't like to see the things he wrote. And I don't think many women think his columns are reasonable.

          @HeerJeet Came across piece where he characterized Shiv Chopra's case against Health Canada as a "bold new way to slam whitey." Levantesque.
