Watching genocide unfold live: we know what is happening & can act. We're on the verge of a holocaust: more than half of people in Gaza are currently being starved.

Waterloo Region hosts weapons companies/manufacturers aiding genocide - we must act now to stop this genocide.

[Dimitri Lascaris @dimitrilascaris]

According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, the genocidal Israeli regime has now killed more than 10,000 infants and children since the start of its attack on the Gaza Strip on 7 October.

More of this. Fuck decorum. They kill babies in tents.

"We have asked for and expect an independent investigation and those responsible to be held to account."

How is that "investigation" going into the Canadian citizen Israel murdered in Lebanon?

Or better yet, how's the investigation into where our country's fucking backbone is?

NEW: CANSEC, Canada's largest arms fair, has barred multiple critical journalists from attending this year's event in Ottawa.

Meanwhile Canada's Liberal gov stands firmly behind the US as it literally starves Cuban children. Unbearable complicity.

LOL told y’all this man has a troubling collection of negative policy actions that disproportionately impact women

[Back On This App and It’s Still Hell @wickdchiq]

Everyone needs to speak out against this bill C-22
As the official opposition the Conservatives have been silent on this

[Alex Cosh @AlexCosh_]

The government of Canada has spoken out more forcefully in defence of power plants in the UAE than it has in defence of its own citizens kidnapped by Israel.

The OPP has been working with Palantir for more than 10 years, at least since 2015.

The president of Palantir Canada is building a big ol' something at Ontario Place. (Not a spa, think data centre.)

Ford just gave the OPP special jurisdiction there, and a new detachment.

Large swathes of the Canadian electorate have yet to fully process how right wing Mark Carney really is

[Canadian Dimension @CDN_Dimension]

Canada’s big telcos could soon receive tens or even hundreds of millions more in public subsidies through an expanded journalism labour tax credit, despite Bell and Rogers posting massive profits while laying off thousands of workers. @marcedge1 reports. https://t.co/tj1HVIGIzi

You rarely see an interview like this in Canada, and so Canadians rarely see how tied our politicians really are to Israel.

[Sam Hersh @SamHersh01]

This man is selling off our entire country's economy to the private sector and foreign multinationals before our very eyes.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Canadian PM Mark Carney’s vision of nation-building is that of a banker.

His new Sovereign Wealth Fund looks less like Norway’s model of collective public wealth than a state-backed investment deal built around privatization. https://t.co/94yWYfHsZp

Galen Weston, despite owning a private primary care system (Maple), is on the board of directors at Sunnybrook Hospital.

His cousin is downtown, on the board of SickKids Foundation.

The Westons own a lot of healthcare. Probably more than you realize.

Canada is still selling Israel weapons

[Corruptario @corruptario]

Tested in Palestine, now in the hands of your local pigs...

[Rankandfile.ca @rankandfileca]

Carney's capitalist carnage: corporate plunder of working-class incomes and tax dollars; privatizing vital public assets; 10s of 1000s of job losses; inflation & price fixing; environmental wreckage; medicare cuts; killing phrarmacare; slaves to Big Oil & US-led NATO arms cartel.

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

He’s shock doctine-ing us.

Trump is the “shock,” and now we’re all supposed to be okay with Canada burning, species going extinct, waterways being polluted and more — all in the name of corporate profits (or a bump in the Alberta polls).

It’s not about unprecedented times. It’s a playbook men like Carney have used for generations.

This is the only economic indicator that matters:
