I agree with @anotherglassbox: AI-generated "slopaganda" distorts the reality of issues in Toronto, and can mislead the public. This kind of "advocacy" is undemocratic and undermines real civic engagement. It has no place in local politics. Sign and share: https://t.co/VPKFYiOZ5I

The notwithstanding clause was not invoked to remove encampments because I organized across party lines to stop it. Municipalities know that the only thing that will end encampments are resources for shelter & housing — resources @fordnation won't provide. https://t.co/sl8U0omFeD

Can you imagine had the roles been reversed? Had a Palestinian done the same to anyone they would have arrested him for terrorism. Which restaurant is this in Montreal?

[ُ suhibe 𖣂 @svhibe]

this will go systematically unnoticed for god knows when, and not a single entity will do a thing to slow it down let alone stop it, not even fake condemn it, and when Palestinians are pushed to explosion the world will act like Palestinians have started a new cycle of violence.

Two years ago, the ICC announced they were seeking warrants against Netanyahu, Gallant - for crimes against humanity committed between October 2023 - May 2024; six months later, those warrants were issued. More and worse crimes have happened since. No accountabilities of any kind

Reminder to boycott MoroccanOil, they're an israeli company responsible for the exploitation of indigenous moroccan women, paying them 2$ to make argan oil. As traditional argan oil preparation is extremely grueling. support actual indigenous businesses instead!!

Sarah is a sweet Iranian girl who used to work at the Pasteur Institute of Iran, which was later bombed by the US! 🤦‍♀️

Please support her by following her and helping her spread the truth about Iran

They dropped so many bombs on Gaza and released over 30 million tonnes of CO2. There's also the data centers, one of them reportedly releasing 23 atomic bombs worth of heat into the atmosphere. We are also razing forests faster than we can regrow them.

‘“Unhoused people are not being removed because they are dangerous. They are being removed because their presence conflicts with the image @FIFAWorldCup demands,” the Toronto advocates wrote.

“All the money that we spend on that could actually be really successful money spent on housing and long-term solutions.” The Toronto Underhoused and Homeless Union is demanding that security guards at Union Station be replaced by harm reduction workers and that 24/7 respite centres be made available during and in the lead-up to the World Cup.

The group is also calling for an end to the closures of shelters and supervised consumption sites, arguing that without places to go, more and more homeless people will seek shelter in places like Union Station.’

@EnglerYves Iranian monarchists in Halifax erected this gallows and then attacked us at our vigil against Israel’s death penalty law chanting obscenities and calling for Iran and Palestine to be bombed. They interrupted prayers from an Anglican priest. Political silence!

[Yves Engler @EnglerYves]

As Israel continues its slaughter, Canadian Zionist groups & politicians are defending a fascist Israeli politician. Itamar Ben-Gvir publishes photos of himself torturing activists and wears a pin celebrating hanging Palestinians, but some Canadians claim activists shouldn’t hang an effigy of the murderous fanatic because he’s Jewish.

On Sunday a Montreal 4 Palestine march included effigies of a handful of political leaders. A photo circulating shows Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar Ben Gvir all lined up together in a mock hanging. But Rebel News videographer Guillaume Roy circulated a somewhat hard to make-out video with only the Ben-Gvir effigy, which has his trademark large white kippah, under the tagline “The pro-Hamas group Mtl4Palestine displays the [Montreal] Canadiens flag next to what appears to be an effigy of a Jew wearing a kippah, hanged with a rope.”

Several local Zionist politicians like National Post columnist Leslie Roberts shared it suggesting some type of criminality. Liberal MP Anthony Housefather quote tweeted Roy noting, “hanging an image of a Jew wearing a kippah in effigy is disgusting, antisemitic, and a clear incitement to hatred.” Conservatives Melissa Lantsman and Pierre Poilievre as well as Liberals Evan Solomon, Gary Anandasangaree and Leslie Church all echoed the defence of Ben-Gvir who has been sanctioned by Ottawa.

A few days ago the Israeli National Security Minister posted footage to social media of him mocking activists being tortured after being illegally detained in international waters in a bid to break the genocidal blockade of Gaza. Three weeks ago Ben-Gvir celebrated his 50th birthday with a cake ‘decorated’ by a death penalty noose in reference to a new death penalty law for Palestinian detainees. Decades ago he was blocked from joining the Israeli military because of his violent extremism.

But protesters in Montreal shouldn’t hang Ben-Gvir in effigy, say these Israel supporters. Inciting hatred of Ben-Gvir is a moral baseline.

In response to the manufactured hysteria Max Sylverman aptly explained:
“A psychotic fascist with tremendous power in his government advocates (and eventually adopts a law permitting) summary execution for Palestinians and parades around with a lapel pin of a noose and a big ostentatious white kippa on his head.
“Relatives of those who may face such illegal, immoral, and wanton murder by the state protest with an effigy of the hanging-advocate, himself in the noose this time.
“Anyone who has seen a picture of the cabinet minister and also the effigy immediately can draw the connection and see the characteristic signs of the representation of Ben Gvir, namely the noose lapel pin and the ostentatious white kippa. Plus they literally printed a picture of his face and put it on the effigy.
“Psychopaths here in Canada claim such protesters were in fact walking around with a generic effigy of a Jewish person hanging from a noose, claiming this is advocacy for hanging Jews.
“As opposed to the guy actually advocating hanging people and celebrating it with a noose lapel pin.
“This may be peak ‘Every accusation is a confession’ but I don’t know that it will make a difference.”

Israel killed 31 in Lebanon and six in Gaza Tuesday. At the same time a coterie of Zionist lobbyists and politicians, who demonstrate no concern at all for Palestinian, Lebanese or Iranian lives, were whipping up a frenzy about a cardboard depicting the hanging of Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Their lies, obfuscations and extreme dishonesty demonstrate why the meaning of the term “antisemitism” has been destroyed. Everyone engaged in this shameful, racist charade should never again be believed or trusted to even care about the truth.

Really happy to see this interview get traction. Avi's voice is sorely needed in Canadian politics and, really, politics across this continent

[Cuban Americans For Cuba @Cubans4Cuba]

Our families in Cuba should never live under threat of U.S. military violence.
Trump, Rubio, and the U.S. threaten direct military violence in our name after decades of economic warfare.
They do not speak for us.
Cuban Americans say: NO WAR ON CUBA! https://t.co/vY6SehyzCi

No one should be denied the right to unionize — including political staff.

We can't just hope for Councillors to be better managers — workers deserve real accountability and protections to ensure that their work is safe and decent. https://t.co/TWx1UFwDYv

NEW: I ranked Canada’s provinces based on their disclosure-report systems, which I’ve become familiar with after years of publishing databases on elected officials who are landlords.

Spoiler alert: some are inexplicably awful.
