Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Doug Ford gets an F.

The legislature sat for 29 days this year.

Doug Ford used that time to buy a jet, try to take over Billy Bishop, and restrict FOI requests to hide his records.

He didn't fix a single thing for people struggling with rent, groceries, or gas.

The Ontario NDP will keep fighting for solutions to make life more affordable.

The people yearn for pedestrianized streets

People will go on vacation to a place like this and then, back home, they’ll vote to make sure this never happens in their town.

"It is obvious that the intent is to privatize water in Ontario, and this, as we know from countless international examples, is a disaster in the making."

Avi Lewis responds to the Ford government’s move to strip municipalities of control over water infrastructure, handing it to newly created water corporations.

You are impacting housing plans for 100,000 housing units right now by not saying no to jets. Say no to jets right now, Prime Minister Carney!! https://t.co/3Cv28KdSCF #cdnpoli #topoli

During a broadcast, @CBCNews claimed that Jerusalem Day—an Israeli holiday celebrating illegal occupation and notorious for violence against Palestinians—simply marked the "reunification of Israel." CBC effectively repeated Israeli talking points supporting a war crime. Following a CJPME complaint, CBC aired a correction clarifying that the Old City and East Jerusalem are occupied.

Wab Kinew: I reject the idea that we have to be slaves to surveillance capitalism in order to participate in the modern economy.

Video of what appears to be TPS officers tackling & arresting a cyclist during a stop sign trap on the MGT.

Cyclist - "What did I do wrong?"
Cop - "You didn't stop."

If true, this is excessive use of force for a traffic stop.

[Alex Mather @AlexDRMather]

@TorontoPolice @TheBikingLawyer You could do this with cars literally every at literally every intersection in the city, and cars actually kill people. But we get it, you hate cyclists and tolerate dangerous driving — we’d all much prefer if you dropped the charade and were just honest about it.

[The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt) @TheBikingLawyer]

I'll be on w @MooreintheAM @NEWSTALK1010 at 730ish to talk about TPS' excessive force take down of this cyclist for a traffic ticket. Be sure to tune in!

Here's the first visual of what the proposed runway extension would look like. The extension would force the Western Gap to close, and Trillium Park's experience will be ruined by constant jet blasts. Jet blasts would impact boaters on both sides. https://t.co/mrxZpqFCH7 #topoli

An insane thing for a leading American government leader to say to a minority community in the US.

Back then…

The average personal tax rate was 5.5%

The average corporate tax rate was 42%

And the tax rate for the ultra wealthy was 91%.

That’s what they stole from us.

I find it both hilarious and sad that the exact stretch of Yonge that looked roughly like this in my lifetime now has the City cracking down on the signage adorning small food kiosks.

“You Arab whores… We will kill you, drink your blood, & rape your girls.”

This is what Maccabi Tel Aviv fans chanted in Stuttgart.

This is who our political and media elites demanded must rampage through Birmingham, smearing you as racist if you opposed it.
