Israel is conducting secret mass surveillance of Palestinians during its assault on Gaza—and ex PM Stephen Harper’s investment fund helped make it happen.

After five months of military operations, Israel has destroyed Gaza. Over 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, including more than 13,000 children. Over 12,000 are presumed dead and 71,000 injured, many with life-changing mutilations. Seventy percent of residential areas have been destroyed. Eighty percent of the whole population has been forcibly displaced. Thousands of families have lost loved ones or have been wiped out. Many could not bury and mourn their relatives, forced instead to leave their bodies decomposing in homes, in the street or under the rubble. Thousands have been detained and systematically subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment. The incalculable collective trauma will be experienced for generations to come.

By analysing the patterns of violence and Israel’s policies in its onslaught on Gaza, this report concludes that there are reasonable grounds to believe 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄𝙨𝙧𝙖𝙚𝙡’𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙩.

@PercyDowne I lived in Palestine and would welcome any of the beautiful Palestinian people into my home before some old white guy who doesn't know what he's talking about. As an islander you definitely don't speak for me! Shame on you!

Trudeau condemns mosque attack, says Islamophobia 'has no place' in Canada. Are we surprised after Canada's complicity in the genocide of Palestinians | SaltWire https://t.co/t02GTLcK6H

I’d like to make the radical proposal that the harming of children, no matter who they are & no matter who does it, is always wrong and should be condemned.

Here is the latest wildfire maps from this evening for Shelburne and Tantallon. The shaded pink area is the fire perimeter, the dotted lines are evacuation areas, and shaded orange marks rescinded evacuation areas.

Radical beauty.
The oldest tattoo artist in the world is from the Cordillera mountains of the Philippines. 106 year old (yes 106!) Apo Whang-Od has been practicing the traditional art form since she was 16.
She makes the ink herself uses thorns and bamboo to tap deep into the skin.

With many Sunwing passengers stranded in Mexico, the Ministry of Transportation has called the situation unacceptable. Sunwing has told the transportation minister they’re sorry, and to make up for it they’ve offered to fly him to, then strand him in, a location of his choice.

@AndrewChtown @TELUS @TELUSsupport @Telus did not give a cutoff date for the "free data" period. Many customers assumed it was the billing period that included Fiona.

[Patricia Doucette @PDoucette1]

@TELUS @FriendlyFuture Why only to Oct. 3rd Telus. Many of us used the entire data allotment during Fiona power outages. That means after Oct.3rd any overages I incur aren't credited. Should be for whole Fiona bill cycle. Thats poor customer treatment and misleading.

[Patricia Doucette @PDoucette1]

@AndrewChtown @TELUS @TELUSsupport 2/2 Also paid for 3 data top ups before Telus announced. WTF not waiving those fees. @Telus you are not supporting those affected by Fiona unless we push and your service failed for days with Fiona. Shame on you. Not renewing with @Telus

[Patricia Doucette @PDoucette1]

@AndrewChtown 1/2 Just received my $860 @Telus bill. @Telus waived data overages for Fiona bill cycle. Told to pay upfront and get credit. 2 calls and 3 hours later to @telussupport saying I could not pay upfront. They decided to credit me $400. My family plan bill is $280/ monthly. 180 diff
