Just once I’d like to disagree with a white woman at a conference and not be called “aggressive” or be accused of “attacking” her when I came up after her presentation to ask questions about the data shared on trust, social media influencers, etc in the age of anti-trust.

“In his victory speech, Carney said we must protect Canada from being caught in Trump’s crosshairs—and he’s right. But what Carney should have been included is that threat isn’t just external🇺🇸, because the call is coming from inside the house too 🇨🇦”

“Yes, Carney won. But that doesn’t mean Trumpism lost.

Mark Carney’s win wasn’t a landslide. It was a scrape-by. A fear-based, lowest-common-denominator win made possible not because Canadians were energized, but because they were afraid.

Afraid of what Donald Trump was doing next door, afraid of the collapse of norms and economies, afraid of being swallowed by the chaos.”

“Canada doesn't need to be formally annexed to be controlled by American interests—many of those mechanisms are already firmly in place.”

“Canadian sovereignty talk consistently chooses to skip the uncomfortable truth that this country was founded on violent colonization, this isn't just part of our history—it's our current and ongoing reality across settler colonial nations including 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇮🇱”

One of the common ways to greet someone in Chinese culture is to ask if they have eaten, and if not, then you offer to feed them. This is how my relatives treat me, and this was how Palestinians treated me when I was in Gaza last year—with a deep sense of respect and dignity for our shared humanity.

Despite how little food and water they had, they insisted on sharing meals together. Although there was scarcity in material resources, they expressed generosity from a place of abundance in humanity. The same Palestinian healthcare workers who shared their bread and food with me are struggling to feed their families and children right now. Their children are hungry. Their families are hungry.

The Palestinian people in Gaza are facing horrendous conditions of forced starvation and severe malnutrition right now because of the over 2-month Israeli siege and blockade on food, water, fuel, medical supplies, and so much more for the entire population of Gaza. People are starving, and the elderly, children, and babies are dying from severe malnutrition. Hunger is being used as a weapon of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and collective punishment.

As I was growing up, my father would tell me stories of how he would be hungry and not have enough to eat when he was a child, and I never had to experience this suffering and this pain because of his ability to provide for our family. I have no sufficient words of comfort to send to my colleagues in Gaza who are struggling to feed their families and their children. I can only imagine the immense suffering and pain they endure from this genocide because of the colonial and capitalist interests of Israel and its allies.

This is unbearable. My soul weeps for the people of Palestine. Our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinian people. Never stop organizing and building people power to change our communities and societies to be apartheid-free, to end complicity in genocide, and to provide the necessary mutual aid and support that Palestinians deserve to live with dignity.

The U.S. government encouraged people to report on doctors in Canada who provide gender-affirming care to children—signaling a chilling new cross-border reach in its anti-trans agenda

NEWS: Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, has lost his seat in the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton

Numerous reports had suggested Poilievre was in danger of losing his seat, which he's held since he was first elected in 2004

With all the technology we have in the world—why don’t we have a live fact-check banner running across the leaders’ debate?

Isn’t the whole point of this debate to help Canadians make an informed decision?

Then why not use tech to actually help us do that?

Imagine a real-time overlay showing how each candidate voted in the past—especially when their current statements don’t line up.

Imagine a running fact-check that holds them accountable as they speak, when eyes is on them. A disinformation exposer.

Why hasn't our corporate media landscape evolved to do this?

As a young millennial woman whose ‘biological clock is running out’, I do not approve this message.

Here’s Pierre Poilievre trying to appeal to Millennial women by talking about how their ‘biological clock is running out’.
