@kimchipig@iamkennethchan Nah, that's just basic political engagement on a municipal level. Vote on a motion to pressure the fed government for ceasfire. Host Palestinian culture nights. dozens of other options at their disposal. Hamas didn't start this btw + its a lame excuse to permit genocide.
@sethhag@iamkennethchan They've done things in support of Ukraine (which we all support!) Other municipalities are speaking up locally, nationally and internationally.
Councils can also make sure funds are not invested in arms etc.
@sethhag@iamkennethchan Our municipal governments can help craft a motion to call for a ceasefire. They can leverage relationships with federal representatives. They can offer to help host Palestinian Culture events. There are literally dozens of options at their disposal. But they refuse to even listen
@iamkennethchan One last thing, if you were credibly reporting on this issue, you would know that some Police in attendance + the city rep who manages speakers at council admitted they thought the reactions by council were unfair + that protesteres were "being respectful".
@tomstachura@iamkennethchan No freedoms were inturrupted. If these things were being properly reported and our elected government officials didn't lie through their teeth about what happened, you wouldn't be here saying that.
@daddymoderate@iamkennethchan Local governments have a role to play in ending a genocide. they can leverage their relationships as elected officials to put pressure on the federal government. Local gov has always have a strong role to play. Other municipalities have taken the time to listen.
@iamkennethchan Municipal governments have a critical role to play in this moment to end the genocide in Palestine. Have some integrity and speak to the protest organizers, and actually report on what's happening.
@iamkennethchan Hey Kenneth,
Have you considered talking to the protesters and heaing them out? As a resident of Surrey Guildford, I was at City Hall last night and can confirm that the protesters were not violent and are simply asking to be heard, as is their right.
@iamkennethchan Frankly I'm appauled at your attempt at journalism here. It's one sided and not helpful. By posting this alone, you devalue the struggle of residents to engage with their elected officials.
On Dec 16, health care workers in Vancouver took to the streets to call for permanent #CeasefireNOW & and end to the targeting of health infrastructure in #Gaza. There can be no health under occupation & that is why we advocate for a #FreePalestine ๐ทby @KelliRP

@coldplay It would be so lovely if ticketmaster would let me even join the queue to even attempt to get tix. But the page is on a constant refresh loop that eventually errors out. have tried different browsers & even restarted my Mac.
