In the chamber today, I overheard Doug Ford’s Minister of Education say that Carney is behind the push for jets at Billy Bishop Airport.
While heckling a Liberal MPP during Question Period this morning, the minister said “the Prime Minister’s Challenger can’t land [at Billy Bishop], that’s why they’re giving us money. So the Prime Minister’s Challenger can land there.”

NEWS: the federal court has halted Kumar's deportation!
This is a temporary decision, the matter will now go to a judicial review, but it's an important victory for Kumar and his supporters
New from me:
Canada’s public safety minister said he wouldn’t intervene in the removal proceedings of a Tamil migrant who arrived to Canada by sea 16 years ago, but acknowledged the dangers such people face upon return to Sri Lanka.
Imagine working your whole life to defend Tamils to then become one of Canada's top decisionmakers and say: it's before the courts, when a Tamil refguee faces deportation.
UPDATE: on the heels of our reporting, public safety minister @gary_srp is asked about the deportation of Kumar Thuraisinkam
Anandasangaree acknowledges the danger Thuraisinkam faces, but is not intervening, saying the courts are best placed to decide
Our full story below
16 years ago, after the Tamil genocide, Kumar Thuraisinkam sailed the Pacific Ocean to Canada
Now the feds are trying to deport him and the minister in charge, @gary_srp, who spent years defending Tamil refugees, is silent
My scoop for @TheBreachMedia
https://t.co/2ThWwOS06W
@thayagam18@TheBreachMedia@DesmondCole What is the point of having a Tamil minister if he is not going to help his own community? How does the community benefit? This man is being sent to his death by another Tamil. Shame.
A Tamil refugee is set to be deported—even though he risks jail and torture back in Sri Lanka.
An error in his papers raises the stakes: his lawyer alleges border agents changed his arrival date to justify removing him from Canada, reports @DesmondCole. https://t.co/o7Wyf5B68i
Did you receive such a message from Air Canada?
If so, DO NOT take a refund.
Instead, search for alternative flights on your own, and buy a new flight WITHOUT accepting a refund -- then make Air Canada pay for the costs of your new flight.
@HMcPhersonMP Canada is not "complicit", Canada is a participant in the genocide. There is no complicity anymore, there is only participation and involvement.

Green Beret Anthony Agular recounts how a 5-year-old Palestinian kissed his hands to thank him for the food Agular gave him
Seconds later, Israeli soldiers shot and killed the starving child
ISIS prisoners were treated with more dignity than these children, Agular says
Today, I lost my entire family,
My mother, my father, and my beloved sisters, Sarah, Saja, and Manar were all martyred.
I have no words to describe the pain, Please, keep them in your prayers.
Thread🧵 In light of Iran's allegations about WhatsApp sharing user location data with Israel, it's important to understand how deep Israeli intelligence penetration of big tech firms goes.
I've been working on this topic for 4 years. Here's what I found.

Get that: Israel has decided to launch an international effort to bring in Israelis stuck abroad since the closure of the country's airspace.
But Israel is not allowing aviation companies to book flights out of the country. They are saying it is meant to 'avoid crowding in TLV airport', but in reality, Israel's leaders know that if people are allowed to leave, 2-3 million Israelis will be gone within weeks, and a big proportion of them will never go back, given what's about to transpire.
So, no one is allowed to leave Israel for the foreseeable future. What a nightmare.

On October 7, I knew I had to get out at all costs. I saw all of it with amazing clarity. I told people very close to me that no one would be able to leave Israel once the big war began. Thank god, and my instincts, I'm out, and my child, too
