This brings the total to 7 Indigenous People who’ve been killed by police or in this case while in custody since August 29. That’s 7 Indigenous people dead in 19 days via Canadian policing system.

“Even if construction manages to go perfectly and minimally affects the environment, once the prison is built there will be ongoing impacts” @SimoneTardif, citing studies on prisons contributing to air pollution and environmental contamination

I’m so excited to be a part of this event. I’ll be discussing the impacts of the proposed prison on Barnes Creek with some other great people

Awful segment on CBC this morning with the premise that Palestinians and Israelis just need to “listen” and “empathize” with each other, protests are divisive and against Canadian values of “love” and “respect,” and the problem is just that “both sides” don’t talk to each other.

[Sa’eed Jiddan @mish_aderr]

Canada is one of the most disturbing of Europe’s settler colonies because of their ability to spread propaganda about being “a peaceful nice country” but in reality be a violent white supremacy born out of the ethnic cleaning of indigenous people.

[Karim Wafa-Al Hussaini @DrKarimWafa]

Palestinian men are kind.
Palestinian men are loving.
Palestinian men are caring.
Palestinian men are respectful.
We are human beings like the rest of you. Stop dehumanising us. We have feelings and emotions. We have a right to live.

[El Jones @ElJonesPoet]

We should not be normalizing imprisonment for anyone, and especially not for political dissent. Treating prison like some easy punishment that is minimal is extremely carceral thinking. You can’t claim abolition then say prison is not a big deal.

[CBC Pitchbot (Satire) @CBCPitchbot]

Multiple teachers across Canada have been suspended for pro-Palestinian social media activity, with school boards reminding faculty that Canada's schools have a long and proud history of standing with genocide

[El Jones @ElJonesPoet]

Note how the language of “safety” is used to claim the Black Muslim women being targeted, threatened, and punished is actually the one causing harm. Harm isn’t being censured, getting death threats, or being expelled, it’s “causing” people to have to do those things to you.

[Simone Tardif @SimoneTardif]

@ColdCaseCass @uOttawa Yes! We definitely need to. It’ll be busy, but I’m certain I can find time :)

[Simone Tardif @SimoneTardif]

Well, in a little over a month, I’ll be moving across the country to attend @uOttawa for my MA. And no, I am not ready for the winters 😂

This is devastating news. I know many women found this program helpful.
