[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨HORRIBLE: Gaza is enduring its fourth winter under Israel’s genocidal war. Heavy rains have flooded tent camps, leaving hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians soaked, exposed and with nowhere to go.

Israel destroyed their homes, devastated Gaza’s infrastructure and continues to block essential construction materials, leaving families trapped in makeshift tents with no protection from the winter.

🚨 CATASTROPHIC SCENES IN GAZA RIGHT NOW.

Heavy rainfall is flooding displaced Palestinians’ tents, leaving families exposed to the harsh winter with no alternative shelter.

This is their fourth winter since Israel destroyed their homes and continues to block essential materials from entering Gaza.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨 BREAKING: Torrential winter rains are flooding the makeshift tents sheltering displaced Palestinian families across the Gaza Strip. Families are watching their few remaining belongings drown in floodwater as rain pours down on their already fragile shelters.

This is the FOURTH consecutive winter that Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to endure in tents after Israel destroyed more than 80% of buildings across the Strip, leaving hundreds of thousands homeless.

Conditions are catastrophic. Families are exposed to flooding, freezing temperatures and relentless rain, with no adequate shelter and nowhere to go.

AND WINTER HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN‼️

[Rural Albertan 🇨🇦♥️ @albertan_rural]

Corrupt to the core, the United Cheaters Party. It should alarm ALL Albertans, there is NOT ONE person in the UCP willing to stand up/speak against this very obvious gerrymandering.

Just like in the US, Albertans are reaching their breaking point. An orange🍊tsunami is coming!

[🇨🇦 Moderate Mike McGee 🇨🇦 @CanadianModera1]

As a Canadian citizen living in Alberta, I feel strongly that my rights under the Charter should be protected -- this includes attempts by a ruling and corrupt provincial political party to gerrymander electoral boundaries.

Tariq Al-Qurayni was shot and killed by the israelis while he was harmlessly in Al-Bureij camp in central Gaza: another child murdered

[Paddystinian @Paddystinian]

Heartbreaking scenes this morning from Biddu, north-west of “occupied Jerusalem,” where Israeli terrorist forces rolled in with bulldozers and flattened another five Palestinian homes.

Families tossed out, belongings left behind, tear gas for anyone who objected. Just another routine Thursday in the West Bank.

The same village that produced a recent attacker, so of course the whole community gets to share the consequences. Collective punishment with excavators — very 2026 of them.

How many more “illegal” homes do they plan to erase before someone notices the permit system is designed to make Palestinian construction impossible? Asking for a friend who still has a roof.

[Dan Arnold @calgarygrit]

All provinces rely on independent boundary commissions to draw electoral maps. Smith rejected the boundary commission map and asked her MLAs to draw a pro-UCP map.

This is unprecedented. It's brazen US-style gerrymandering. It's cheating.

Texas is uh now more liberal than Alberta

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

The UCP’s attempt to rig the next election is now public for all to see.

Their map carves Lethbridge into four ridings and wildly expands Calgary ridings beyond city boundaries, watering down the voices and votes of Albertans.

These maps aren't good for rural or urban Albertans. They're only good for Danielle Smith and her desperate quest to cling to power.

Gerrymandering is not normal in a healthy democracy. It is a desperate move by grifters who must cheat to win. Don’t let them.

We deserve the same access to dental care as everyone else in the country! That's why I just sent an email to tell the Premier, the Health Minister and my MLA to support Alberta's continued access to the Canadian Dental Care Plan — Will you join me? https://t.co/MvXNhvUFPn

“They want our hands to load weapons, to serve their armies.”

Dockworkers at over 100 ports across 22 countries are striking for Gaza.

[Coll McCail @MccailColl]

This is an incredibly significant mobilisation across 110 ports in 22 countries. Organisers estimate 52,000 containers will remain idle, holding $2.8 billion worth of cargo. The largest coordinated port action ever held, grinding the global arms trade to a halt.
