UNREPORTED NEWS ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA
This is Israa al-Ghamgham, she was executed by beheading in Saudi Arabia yesterday for criticising the regime.
This is a country the UK regards as an "ally" and helped vote into the position of Chair of the UN Human Rights Committee.
Make note @TheCurrentCBC that for @AFP and @Reuters it is common practice to refer to the @ArabiaFdn as a "pro-Saudi" think tank; while @NPR disclosed that they are "funded by corporate donors in Saudi Arabia"
@nspector4 The racist part came from her referring to refugees as "illegal" when there is no such thing in Canada. It's a term used to dehumanize and denigrate. They are refugee claimants, period. Also the man with her was yelling repeatedly that he wasn't standing on Mohawk land.
@LindaFrum The Cons created the border crisis; an imaginary one. If you're going to live off the largesse of Cdn taxpayers, you, at least, owe us honesty & truth.
Ok for the English speakers, I'll try to summarize the tweets I did on my twitter account concerning the heckler at a Justin Trudeau's event in Quebec.
Sorry in advance for the mistakes and I'll try to do my best to be clear.
@MichelleRempel It was a set-up & everyone knows it. #shady#underhanded just what we've come to the expect from the Cons. You lot have no scruples whatsoever.
@possumpig Yes, dictators don't acquire & remain in power without help. They need plenty of enablers & for the military &/or police to be their protectors & enforcers; plenty of ppl to do their dirty work. Without this, they're powerless & ineffectual.
@CBCNews It's a dangerous path the Cons are trying to forge. They'd do anything to acquire power, including triggering & fomenting the kind of hate that could potentially get people killed. #StochasticTerrorism
Hey #Canada!🇨🇦
1000s of #firefighters & #EM pros are giving their all to protect the lives & homes of 10000s impacted by #BCWildfires.
Today it’s bad.
They’ll never ask for recognition. But they hear you! Pls let them know they’re in your thoughts!
