Just a Willy looking for his place in the world

Doing a PhD in Global Governance and talking about things like anarchy and ecological governance 💀🎺
So you're telling me that Israel has been threatening the world with nuking it indiscriminately, in case its apartheid project is dismantled, and Iran (which doesn't even have nukes) is the threat to world peace? And no one is talking about the Samson Option?
Iran’s nuclear program has long been a cause of grave concern, and its missile attacks across Israel threaten regional peace.
Today, I convened our National Security Council to receive an update on the situation and to ensure that all necessary steps will be taken to protect our nationals and our diplomatic missions in the region.
Canada reaffirms Israel’s right to defend itself and to ensure its security. We call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint and move towards a diplomatic resolution.
Does the death toll of Palestinians even matter? Every crime under the sun has been committed against us and filmed for the world to see. Israel has not been shy about its intention to wipe out all Palestinians. But the world looks away or cheers on the slaughter.
Hi @BenMulroney,
You're right — no one should ever target a place of worship. But that’s not what’s happening here, and it’s disingenuous to suggest otherwise. Fakih's (@mohamadfakih8) point — and the concern many legal experts share — is that Toronto’s new bylaw shields political activities (like real estate sales tied to settlements) from protest simply because they occur at religious sites.
As Edward Keenan’s piece makes clear, this bylaw was passed despite legal advice warning it likely violates the Charter. It doesn't make people safer — it makes dissent harder.
If a synagogue is used to promote or fundraise for illegal settlements, just as a mosque or church could be used to promote political activity, then the political activity — not the faith — becomes the subject of protest. And protest, even when uncomfortable, is a democratic right.
This bylaw isn’t about protecting worship. It’s about weaponizing religion to insulate certain politics from public scrutiny. That’s what Fakih was calling out — and he’s right to do so.
Most media around the world led with this story from the @UN today. You would be hard pressed to find it on any of the landing pages of Canadian news outlets. I’ve been refreshing for 8 hours and nothing so far.
So do we now have only 24 hours before 14,000 Palestinian babies die?! Do we understand the gravity of that statement? While a couple states weakily threaten to impose partial sanctions on the genocidal state of Israel?
In case you missed it, Canada's supposed most left-leaning party @NDP dropped a campaigner last week for rightfully comparing the ongoing genocide against Palestine to the Holocaust. They smeared her name & emboldened media to denigrate her for sex work. 1/
@CouncillorCaton Does the data show a reduction in the number of accidents? Or just that people slow down for the 3 months the camera is there? Is it still run by a private company?
Yves’ father here, providing an update about Yves who is currently detained at the Bordeaux jail until at least Monday.
Today the prosecutors refused to free him unless he would agree not to speak publicly about the case including naming directly or indirectly the influencer who filed the complaint against him.
Yves will have a bail hearing Monday 9am. He has called for supporters to attend.
The hearing will determine whether or not Yves will be freed pending trial and if he will be allowed to write in detail about what is happening to him including naming the complaint and the police officer who have accused him of harassment. He has no interest in naming the police officer but insists that he should be able to name the influencer who regularly publishes hateful anti Palestinian content online.
If you support Yves please come to the Palais de justice at 1 Notre Dame East in room 3.12 on Monday morning at 9:00am.
You can also support his work by donating at https://t.co/RxJ8S79py2
Please do what you can to draw attention to this case. #FreeYvesEngler
I’ve watched you from afar and never said anything for two main reasons. 1 being the respect I have for your brothers and parents & 2 I’ve always wanted to keep the in fighting between folks of color to a minimum.
This was something I couldn’t let go -
I’ve known you since I was ten years old and played with you so I’d say I know you better than most at a deeper level. You were a hell of a player and instead of using your platform you did everything in your power to gain acceptance and popularity, nothing with you has ever been genuine but transactional and usually for publicity reasons.
Even during this most sensitive time both politically and socially you take the side of the oppressor because that’s who you make your money from. I would of thought the “love” you have always claimed for your country, a country you represented at the highest levels would shine through to push back on rhetoric of annexation and humiliation of the very land you are born and raised in, but even that doesn’t get you to do the right morally.
This is the reason why every place you have played - no one liked you and players on the inside have always known who you really are - a sell out of the highest proportions. You are the perfect example of why people of color haven’t progressed at the highest levels of society. From one man to another, you’re a disgrace and history will judge you accordingly.
I will be running for re-election in Hamilton Centre as an Independent.
You can volunteer with us by making calls, knocking on doors, or donating to the campaign.
Reach out to me and my team at https://t.co/rf9eX1qsjt.
See you at the doors, Hamilton Centre!
Question tho? If the residence ends up being primarily used for 1st year year students, it would allow the uni to bring in more students. After 1st year, they would go into the rental market? Wouldn't these new students' additional strain on the market?
When Californians were given the choice to stop the constant soft on crime legislation they’ve painfully endured for many years - they overwhelmingly said YES!
I guarantee this result would play out the same way in Canada if we were given that choice. Our cities and citizens deserve way better than what’s been happening. Enough is enough.
@TheEdVerse we've never met but the dungeon you designed for Samwise with the gravity floor traps and the exploding scroll tube with 'don't be greedy' just to get a silver cup has made you an enemy for life
As a side note I do think speeding cameras are very regressive and allow those with wealth to drive as they please while punishing the poor for doing the same.
I know the Guelph speed cameras are meant for public safety and such but can some from council @CamGuthrie; @carlyklassen; @CouncillorCaton please reason out why so little of the money goes to the city? Just seems to me we're funneling money from citizens to a private company?
I'll be honest, I've got got by one of them, and I'd be happier knowing 1) the money isn't just being funneled into a private company and 2) the metrics actually show long term reductions in incidents.
