Outrageous and unacceptable. The Namaygoosisagagun First Nation wasn’t warned of the blaze that burned their community to the ground and were not given supports to evacuate.

The federal government must recognize Namaygoosisagagun’s status, reimburse them for the services they should have provided and give them the resources they need to recover from this disaster.

Ms Rachel tells it like it is: “341 Congress members voted to keep funding the Israeli government’s genocide”

I want to scream. I don’t know what to write. I have no idea how words could ever describe what I’m feeling or the shock I’m in.

How… how can the funeral of someone who was killed just three hours earlier be targeted? How can a person be targeted even after death? Aren’t funerals sacred in every religion and every human tradition? How can saying goodbye to the dead turn into another massacre?

I couldn’t bear looking at the photo. Ten people were walking in the funeral of their friend and relative, and minutes later, they too were among the dead. I can’t comprehend what I saw, and I can’t find any words to explain it.

What is happening in Gaza has become beyond human comprehension. These are scenes I don’t think anyone anywhere in the world could ever imagine witnessing, yet they have become part of our daily lives. I’ve been in a state of shock for the past three hours, unable to even write a single sentence.

I’m exhausted from writing. I’m exhausted from posting. I’m exhausted from screaming into the void every single day with nothing changing. I’m exhausted from living a life where our only goal is to survive until tomorrow. Were we created just to spend every day trying to escape death?

And what breaks my heart even more is this: how has the world watched these scenes and then simply carried on as if nothing happened? How can so much death and so much suffering pass before the world’s eyes without shaking its conscience?

Gaza’s population has declined by approximately 9.5% compared with 2023—a loss of an estimated 224,000 people.

Behind this figure are lives lost, families erased, and the mass displacement of an entire population. Numbers alone cannot capture the human cost.

Ontario's jails are using an artificial intelligence tool that disproportionately places Black prisoners in maximum security

The government anticipated its AI tool would produce biased outcomes, but used it anyway

Trump is fuelling a new McCarthyism that is both delusional and dangerous. It’s clearly intended to crack down on Americans who are resisting his anti-democratic agenda: including deadly ICE raids and endless wars of aggression. It’s also a serious escalation of violent authoritarianism from our next door neighbour.

Canada’s participation in this spectacle puts progressive Canadians at real risk. It’s outrageous, and the Prime Minister owes Canadians an explanation as to why he’s involving our country in this ugly episode.

Ahead of an apocalyptic wildfire season, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government made CUTS to the very teams who help prevent the worst outcomes: experts who map wildfires and issue warnings and risk assessments that communities rely on.

The union representing these workers sent me the details:

There are no words to describe this barbarism

This is Al-Mahdi School in Bint Jbeil, South Lebanon — before and after it was blown up by Israel today.

Not a military target.

A school.

Every child in this video was killed by Israel.

Around 22,000 children have been killed since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza.

Reminder: Gaza is still being bombed, daily.

Genuinely losing my mind watching Carney's announcement today. Canada is burning, our prime minister says we can't afford climate action, and today he ANNOUNCES MORE DEFENCE SPENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Referring to disabled people as "consumers" is literal nazi white supremacist rhetoric and ideology because it debases the disabled as burdens on society who serve no purpose because they can't be exploited for labor, and @IDPH using it is despicable and should be challenged.

As Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip continues, leaving thousands killed and wounded, the humanitarian crisis deepens, with morgues across the enclave facing a severe shortage of burial shrouds as families struggle to give their loved ones a dignified final farewell.

They won’t let Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya out because he is a living witness to and a victim of Israel’s sadism.

Today, my friend’s aunt passed away after suffering from a severe skin disease that has spread in a terrifying way among displaced people living in tents.

This is not the first case. The number of cases is increasing day after day, and the situation is spiraling out of control. We are living among tents that have turned into breeding grounds for diseases, with unbearable heat, severe water shortages, and a complete lack of hygiene.

What has been dropped on us in the form of missiles and destruction has not only left destroyed cities and ruined homes, but has also created a health catastrophe that continues to haunt those who survived. Diseases are spreading, and hospitals are unable to save people due to the shortage of doctors, medical equipment, and medicines.

There are people who become sick today and then wait without treatment until their condition deteriorates before everyone’s eyes. Some are not losing their lives because of the disease alone, but because there is no one available to save them.

And the world does not see the scale of the catastrophe happening in Gaza right now. While we are dying here under bombardment and disease, the world’s attention is focused on other events, as if our lives have become nothing more than numbers in the news.

I’m deeply heartbroken. One of the victims of Israel’s latest terrorist strike in al-Nuseirat Camp was my close school friend Nedal Ahmad.
He just wrote me a message last month to ask for support for the camp he lives in.
I’m sorry my friend. The world fail you.
The world did everything to kill you and family and friends.
I shall never forgive israel and those complicit in its crimes.
