White nationalists are apparently rallying on the Larry Uteck overpass. Can we expect every politician globally to tweet about it? Will any of the groups dedicated to “rising antisemitism” bother about this or is it only Palestine marches they actually care about?
Why is there a “Walk with Israel” being held in Toronto? Israel is committing genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. The international court of justice has ruled that Canada as a third party state has obligations to not be complicit in aiding Israel in these crimes.
Norway uses public oil profits to build a $2T wealth fund for its citizens. PM @MarkJCarney wants to use your tax dollars to subsidize private projects for big oil and gas.
This is just plain wrong. The Liberals are standing with corporations, not everyday Canadians. 🇨🇦
Liberals claim our arms embargoes are ironclad, but former Ministers Lloyd Axworthy & Allan Rock are calling out a massive "U.S. loophole."
As long as military goods can be shipped via the U.S. without permits, our laws are being bypassed. No more excuses—close the loophole. 🇨🇦
Canada is an imperialist state. This includes policing. The RCMP are presently deployed in multiple imperialist operations. As they have been since their founding.
"When people ask me whether Israel has the right to exist, I answer simply: Israel does exist, and as a member of the international community it has to comply with international law.
But what many of the people who ask that question seem to be talking about is Israel’s right to exist as an apartheid state, without accountability.
No. Israel doesn’t have the right to behave above the law or against the law."

If you're indigenous and live in Saskatchewan, however, they may handcuff you and throw you in the snow far outside of town to make you die of exposure.
CBC happily gave a softball interview to an Israeli official, who represents a state committing genocide. And yet, they’ve just apologized for interviewing a regular Iranian Canadian who supposedly spread the “narrative of the Iranian regime.” This is a revealing double standard
@Patti_Rockgirl@mmpadellan@jrbrat13 ...but no action. I don't know enough about the US system to say what actions they could take.
3. The local police are...cops. Not that helpful, often dangerous. In any case, there are 600 police in Mnpls-St Paul, & 3000 ICE.
It is the people who are taking action.
#AbolishICE
@Patti_Rockgirl@mmpadellan@jrbrat13 ...Regarding your specific questions:
1. The Democrats are quislings. There was an attempt to defund ICE in, I think, the federal Senate. It was defeated because several Dems voted against it. The leadership did not whip the vote.
2. The mayor & governor have spoken out....
Today an Israeli drone bombarded and killed two Palestinian children in Gaza. The Israeli artillery bombardment injured tens of civilian Palestinians.
In addition, a total of 10 Palestinian children died of cold weather and lack of heating.
