tired of the Canadian monopoly system for literally everything @A24 + Matt Johnson can we get Tony back at the Carlton and support our small time indie theatres pls
Remember the multi-year long national freakout over The Two Michaels?
when Israel executes a heroic Canadian aid worker they get another strongly worded tweet
Suicidal malpractice by liberals to let Tucker each their lunch on this and become the most prominent voice in the media on this. Just letting the right reap the rewards on what should be a lay up but they're too afraid of offending the sensibilities of the killers.
In 2022, TIFF effectively banned Russian films from the festival. That ban remains in place.
TIFF hasn’t banned Israeli films. They’ve included two of them in this year’s festival, nearly three years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Absolutely shameful. It's well documented that if aid distribution deviates an inch from what Israel expects, that aid workers can be killed. Israel has thrown the entire international aid system out the windows.
On one hand, it is farcical and tragic that Zelensky is presiding over these reburials. These are the figureheads of the very ideology his grandfather fought against, and which claimed the lives of so many members of his family.
On the other, it is deeply revealing of the ways in which Jewish identity has been weaponized, and Jewish suffering inverted, to support the very thing that gave us Hitler in the first place: imperialism.
I was not all that surprised to learn that the Holocaust was almost unmentionable across Europe for decades after the war. In Germany, it only really entered public discourse in the 1960s. Switzerland did not acknowledge its complicity until the late 1990s. In nearly every case, the determinant was not some spasm of guilt or reflection, but qualitative changes in relations with Israel.
Of course, historical memory is important, but that was never at stake here. The Holocaust was inconvenient — drenched as it was in the broader history of anti-communism, colonialism, and imperialism — until it could be deployed to support renewed colonial and imperial violence. As Western leaders mantrically repeated “never again”, the words under their breath said “again, and again, and again, just not on our soil."
In this way, the Holocaust became just another weapon in the Western arsenal. And with that emerged a stunning and audacious experiment in alchemy: all of imperialism’s enemies became “Hitler", while the Hitlerian particle that fidgeted within the nucleus of every Western state disappeared from view.
Now, two of the sharpest tips in the many-sided spear of global reaction, Zionism and Ukrainian nationalism, are removed from the category of fascism altogether for the fact of being , in one way or another, Jewish. There are few insults to historical memory as damning as this.

HELLO @TorontoPolice MURDERED KALEYM DAVY IN COLD BLOOD. They wrongfully accused a black boy of stealing a car. Shot at him with someone in the car & in a fucking undercover car - to make matters worse this was in PEEL POLICE'S DISTRICT. Black Toronto cannot stop until justice is served. As a mother of a black boy I cannot sleep tonight - what do you mean a family lost their child because @TorontoPolice STILL have anti black biases?!
Nothing will stop me from talking about the genocide, resistance, and the US Empire. I will post content to 30 other sites. Ban me from the internet and I will mail my episodes out on thumb drives. Fuck Israel, Silicon Valley, and the Great Satan. You rats will never shut me up
