It shouldn’t be controversial to say Palestinians are human beings who deserve peace & freedom.
The Jewish people deserve the same.
Slaughtering innocent civilians is wrong, no matter their ethnicity or religion.
Conflating actions of terror orgs & gov’t w/their people is 👎🏽
Gaza, Israel, Hamas, Iran, Ukraine, Russia, China, terrorism, climate change, disrupteive technologies, democratic backsliding, protectionism, and the list goes on - it's an increasingly dangerous world and Canada is not ready to deal with it.
For women, singing is forbidden in Iran. This woman is bravely singing in one of Esfahan’s most historical mosques. When the security agent tried to stop her, she resisted and continued. Brave Iranian women like her will some day bring down this most anti-woman regime.
It has been an honour serving the @WestVanPolice Board over the past 3+ years. I have nothing but respect and appreciation for our first responders and it has been a privilege to serve on this board 🙏🏽.
A gender studies class was targeted by what police believe was a hate-motivated incident related to gender expression and identity. This violent act is disturbing and has no place in this country. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.

Time is up. We will proceed with taking Iran to the International Court of Justice over the downing of flight PS752, as we promised to the families of the victims.
Together, we will seek the transparency, accountability and justice families deserve. Impunity is not an option

I am still thinking about the fascinating documentary 'In Search of a Better World' - the remarkable story of Dr. Payam Akhavan, one of the world’s leading human rights lawyers and his fight for justice. Stream on CBC: https://t.co/bsDBdCHAUD
you’re the book you need to read the most but you’ve slipped into the habit of putting yourself away on a shelf for people with fancy covers and no substance. the pages in your soul deserve to be flipped by people willing to learn you and your different love languages.
