@markevans How about get a really fast train running between parts of Downtown and Toronto Pearson? instead of destroying Toronto skyline...have they not learned anything from the Gardiner expressway?

If Canada’s Foreign Ministry cares so much about freedom of navigation, then why hasn’t it condemned Trump’s attacks on civilian vessels in international waters, or Israel’s attacks on the Global Smud Flotilla?

واحد من المشاهد الخالدة، مشهد لم تلتقط العدسات مثله مطلقاً

عندما قام الجيش الاسرائيلي بقصف أحد المنازل في قطاع غزة خلال حرب الابادة بصاروخ حربي ثقيل بينما تركض طفلة صغيرة محاولةً تفاديه

مشهد لا يجب أن ينساه العالم أبداً

A BYD car can charge its battery from 10% to 90% in 8 minutes.

Tesla cars take 35-45 minutes.

So BYD reverse engineered Tesla technologies that doesn't exist?

This is why the US is declining, it's being governed by morons like her.

Congratulations to you. Children are innocent and lovable. Those 168 children that your boss killed in the school in Minab, and you justified, were also children. When you kiss your baby, think of the mothers of those children.

I want every Israeli school and summer camp in Canada shut down.

No other "group" has the right to promote foreign armies, or recruit for foreign armies in Canada. Neither should this "group."

Don’t like people wearing watermelon pins at your shitty medical conference?

Don’t care.

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” makes you feel scared?

Don’t care.

Seeing Palestinian flags on university campuses upsets you?

Don’t care.

A student calling Israel an apartheid state hurts your little feelings?

Don’t care.

A doctor speaking publicly about Palestinian children being massacred feels “divisive” to you?

Fuck you.

People refusing to condemn Palestinian resistance makes you uneasy?

Don’t care.

Hearing the word “genocide” feels inflammatory to you?

Don’t care.

A keffiyeh in a workplace gives you a panic attack?

Don’t care.

“Globalise the intifada” sounds genocidal to you?

Don’t care.

People interrupting politicians feels disrespectful to you?

Don’t care.

You no longer being able to monopolise victimhood makes you angry?

Truly could not care less.

What I care about are the Palestinian children being burned alive.

The doctors being tortured.

The families erased under rubble.

The starvation.

The concentration camps.

The destruction of Gaza’s hospitals and universities and refugee camps and entire civilian infrastructure.

But for the nearly last 1,000 days and decades prior, Western institutions have demanded everyone stop and carefully tend to Jewish emotional discomfort instead.

Not Palestinian lives.

Not Palestinian suffering.

Not Palestinian speech.

Zionist discomfort.

Zionist fragility.

Zionist political sensitivity—elevated, enforced, and institutionalised across universities, hospitals, media outlets, professional associations, politicians, donors, and advocacy groups.

All working in sync to transform Zionist discomfort into institutional emergency.

While Palestinian suffering is rendered invisible.

While Palestinian speech is disciplined.

While Palestinian humanity is treated as negotiable.

That is the function of the Jewish Feelings Industrial Complex.

Not safety.

Not care.

Not protection.

Institutionalised Zionist emotional management at scale.

Fuck every single institution that constantly weaponizes “Jewish safety,” “Jewish discomfort,” and “Jewish feelings” to justify censorship, repression, career destruction, anti-Palestinian racism, and silence in the face of mass atrocity.

If a watermelon pin destabilises you more than the annihilation of Gaza, the problem is not the watermelon pin.

The problem is you.

[Eric Lombardi 🇨🇦🚀 @EricDLombardi]

Canada and Ontario are a democracy, but it often feels like we’ve lost *democratic culture*.

You can see it in the debates we’re having (and lack there of).

I’ll use the Toronto Island/Billy Bishop controversy as an example. 👇

First, what is the problem?

- The island airport lease was set to expire in 2033, but has been extended to 2045 to figure out next steps.

- The Q400 turboprop planes that fly out of the airport are no longer mass produced.

- While maintenance works for the next decade or two, the island airport really has 2 options: Extend the runway to allow jets or shut down the airport.

- - -

The democratic approach to solving this problem would look like the following.

1) Establish a working group to evaluate future options, should be governed by clear stakeholders from all participants (Feds, Province, City, TPA etc).

- Expand the airport
- Maintain the airport
- Shut the airport

It should also propose a transparent mechanism for determining a path forward. This doesn’t mean every stakeholder gets what they want, but people understand how the decision is made and accept it.

2) Present clear futures to the public for scrutiny and debate.

- Detailed proposals outlining cost/benefit/context/trade-offs/remediation.

- Context of other potential infrastructure investments and developments (eg, HSR, Ontario Place, Port Lands)

- Access and Local/regional transit upgrades to improve connections

- Impacts on airline competition in the region, and remedying options (eg, upgrading Hamilton Airport)

- The potential of working with De Havilland/Bombarier/Embraer on re-production of suitable planes for the existing or reduced runway expansion scope

- Business/investment potential

- Cultural and environmental impact

3) Period for public scrutiny. The reality is that reports and commissions get a lot wrong, because humans are fallible.

Public advocacy (not NIMBYism) often improves outcomes and clarifies preferences. The public and civil society have a role here.

4) Decision by arms-length mechanism suggested in (1) and a clear/written justification for the approach.

It should not be a partisan decision by the Ford government, which will be long gone before anything materializes. That’s how you ensure legitimacy going forward so a future gov doesn’t change course after spending billions of dollars.

Not everyone will be happy, but at least people will know that fair consideration actually occurred.

- - -

The problem with the ham-fisted approach being pursued by Ford, TPA and the Conservatives (and from the shameless silence of the Federal Government) is that the public has very little information to go by.

The city itself is completely in the dark.

And yet, there is a rush to use eminent domain over the entire islands.

It’s an authoritarian impulse to believe that opposition has no inherent legitimacy.

I love democracy, debate, and ideas.

Yet our leaders have been afraid to actually believe in it in their actions. Everyone is reacting pathologically.

So, do I support the island airport expansion? I can’t possibly know. We literally don’t have the information to judge. And that’s the core democratic failure.

All I can say is that we should demand better from @fordnation @PrabSarkaria @MarkJCarney cc @RunChiNguyenRun @WaterfrontAll @WaterfrontBIA @NoJetsTO

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

We, the Lebanese and Palestinian, are the only people in history watching our genocide live, and we could get arrested or suspended for saying stop kill us, because it might hurt the feelings of the killers.
