[Kat Lapointe @KatJLapointe]

Huge congratulations to this incredible group of workers who took the courageous step of becoming the first unionized video game studio in Quebec! Welcome to @cwacanada1 @CODE_CWA! #canlab

[One BGS MTL @OneBGS_MTL]

As the first video game studio union in Quebec, we are incredibly proud to announce that One BGS MTL is now officially certified! We now stand together with @OneBGS_USA as @OneBGS_CWA and couldn't be more excited to join @cwacanada1.

[Nasr Ahmed @nasrahmed93]

So incredibly proud of the workers at @OneBGS_MTL - they're trailblazers in the games industry and I know that they will inspire thousands of other game workers across Canada to unionize and fight for their rights as well. Welcome to the @CWAUnion & @cwacanada1 family!! ✊🏾

CUPE welcomes the historic International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling calling on the government of Israel to take “all actions within its power” to prevent a genocide in Gaza and ensure that its officials refrain from incitement to genocide.

“The first genocide in history,” Blinne said, “where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time. I’m the desperate — so far vain — hope that the world might do something. Gaza represents nothing short of a moral failure.”

[Shree Paradkar//श्री पराडकर 🍁 @ShreeParadkar]

In a press conference just now, Richard Falk, ex UN rapporteur on human rights in occupied Palestine talked about the “transparent spectacle of genocide” by Israel and denounced double standard that no liberal democracy of the west has supported South Africa at ICJ. 🔥🔥

Israeli forces kidnap Palestinian elected representative and popular leader, Khalida Jarrar,from her home in Ramallah.

She has been detained multiple times without charge or trial in an ongoing effort to silence her.

A statement on behalf of the Canadaland Union as well as a number of our non-unionized colleagues:

[Arab Canadian Lawyers Assoc. @CanArabLaw]

An important article on anti-Palestinian racism in the health profession by @ShreeParadkar via @TorontoStar. No surprise that the experiences outlined also reflect the level racism and reprisals happening in the legal profession. The Palestine exception is on full display.

[Brishti Basu @brish_ti]

I've gotten more backlash for writing this than anything else this past month.

But these are important voices to hear, in light of people losing livelihoods for using this slogan.

What does 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' mean?

I can say with absolute certainty this is not exclusively a CTV problem. I have colleagues in all the major Canadian outlets raising the similar concerns. READ: https://t.co/WQttRMYJA2

[Labour for Palestine @PalestineLabour]

Today, we're launching the Palestine Legal Referral Service: a national legal referral service of 50+ lawyers across Canada connecting individuals expressing support for Palestine and Palestinians with experienced legal counsel.

[Emma 💥 @emmapaling]

It's no wonder CTV's coverage of Israel's violence in Gaza is so one-sided.

Internal emails show journalists are forbidden from using the term "Palestine," with a senior editor making the charged claim that "Palestine...does not currently exist."

Scotiabank holds shares in "Elbit Systems Ltd., an Israeli defence contractor accused of manufacturing cluster munitions, a deadly weapon that more than 100 countries, including Canada, have banned."

[condeunion @condeunion]

Today @bonappetit and @Epicurious staffers stepped out of a print pitch meeting for a coordinated Lunch Break in protest of proposed layoffs at @CondeNast. Instead of the pitch meeting, union members are having a protest lunch in the food brands’ Test Kitchen.

[Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières @MSF_canada]

At Al-Shifa hospital #Gaza is without power. We have premature babies who need incubators, we have patients in the ICU who need respirators, we have over 600 patients that need medical care. A hospital needs power. We need an immediate ceasefire.

[Labour for Palestine @PalestineLabour]

4 weapons manufacturing plants shut down right now!

Hundreds of workers & community members shut down L3Harris in plants in Hamilton, Toronto & Montreal, and Lockheed Martin in Ottawa.

#ShutItDown4Palestine #CeasefireNOW

[GWU Montréal @GWU_Montreal]

GWU Montreal members have voted to sign on to this statement demanding the Canadian government call for an immediate ceasefire, an end to the blockade of Gaza, and restoration of humanitarian aid and basic necessities. End the occupation, ceasefire now! https://t.co/7XpU6UOIfb

[Alex Press @alexnpress]

can’t get over that 35+ journalists have been killed by Israel’s war on Gaza and the NYT will still discipline someone who opposes that

[Ben Cohen @bcohenn]

Rally has turned into a sit-in. “We will occupy Toronto and back up these streets for as long as it takes for Toronto to hear us tonight,” a demonstration organizer said.
