Increasingly skeptical of Trudeau shifting the focus to the Vatican. Are there are still death records out there that Catholic institutions possess, but Ottawa doesn't? The Oblates and the Canadian bishops apologized ages ago.

Thanks, Premier Horgan.
I hope you're pleased with yourself.

my biggest takeaway from this article is that FB could be doing a lot more to prevent politically-motivated bot activity, but they choose not to because they don't see any immediate revenue or PR benefit from doing so.

FYI Sophie did NOT leak this memo to Buzzfeed. she posted it internally at FB, and then @BuzzFeed published this article without her permission.

I'm disappointed in @BuzzFeed for not respecting their source's wishes on when and how to publish their information.

There she goes again. Anyone who dares question or challenge Carrie Lam is now politically motivated. If she listened more to people rather than lecturing, harassing and haranguing, #HongKong would be in a far better position socially, politically and economically.

@KangHexin @officeofjane Bearing Hong Kong’s name but trade in the China way. That’s how #OneCountryTwoSystems got manipulated by Beijing for years while taking control of our main financial industry.

THREAD: If you live in Hong Kong you've probably heard folks in finance complain the only companies hiring are from China. @officeofjane and I set out determine if that was true. Turns out: pretty much! Here are all the juicy details (and charts!) 1/n: https://t.co/95MXQWCS0E

If it were just stupidity, which odds are even that it was, it would make this no less outrageous. https://t.co/ZlqVPOkCn9

What a great story. Coquitlam company retools and starting Tuesday, 100,000 medical-grade surgical masks will be rolling off the assembly line daily. Once a second machine arrives, they will be able to produce 100,000 N95 respirators a day as well. https://t.co/lje5wZflAw

The #QaraqashDocument reveals China's detainees were often put into camps for common religious practices such as growing a beard or wearing a veil.

"US administration should make clear that China would not be able to retain the advantages that Hong Kong provides Beijing, including by revoking HK’s special status under U.S. law, restricting China’s use of capital markets and access to currency funding through HK banks."

More than 20 riot police beaten a signal peaaceful protetor without any warning. Police brutality of armed police is terrible. #HKPoliceState

[Dan Garrett @DanGarrett97]

Was #Communist-owned @SCMPNews editor who wrote this 7/17 "editorial" actually tipping the #CCP/#HKPF's game plan for allowing #triad attacks on #AntiELAB?->"Hypothetically, it is worth reflecting on what would happen to the city if it no longer had an effective police force."

[Mimi Koko @stellarclaw]

@joshuawongcf #hkpolice intentionally escalating tensions to make protesters lose their temper. it is obvious now

[Thread] Shatin March: Behind Police Violence

1. I was at the scene with legislators and the press when police indiscriminately attacked protestors, journalists, shoppers and passerby in #newtownplaza

[Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 😷 @joshuawongcf]

29. Please continue to keep an eye on us, and keep supporting us. On behalf of Hong Kongers I thank everyone for taking the time to learn about this unique place we call home. THREAD ENDS.

28. If there is just one takeaway for the world: Events in Hong Kong are about so much more than the bill, more than Lam, more even than democracy. They all matter of course. But in the end it is about the future of Hong Kong beyond 2047, a future that belongs to our generation.
