Honoured that @FranceskAlbs attended @rimahjabr's and my play, Two Birds One Stone at Teesri Duniya Theatre in Montreal, despite the somewhat misleading description! Thank you for your incredible work. I only wish we could have been there to hear you speak after the show!
And I am delighted to be with you, #McGill students, faculty members and staff who wish to understand better what is happening in the occupied Palestinian territory, why it is happening and how we can - and must - stop it. See you today.
Meanwhile: Montreal has welcome me with an unexpected warmth. The humanity of the Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and local communities who brought me to Canada, run deep. On the day of my arrival, I bumped quite accidentally into a performance, presented to me as "a dialogue between a Palestinian and an Israeli, on stage, face to face" - which is in fact so much more. I loved it, literally.

People sleeping rough and in #encampments, many of whom have weakened immune systems, are forced to make a terrible choice about coming indoors into a shelter system with 26 outbreaks, or staying outdoors where hypothermia, frostbite, and freezing to death are very real risks.
We’re delighted to announce the appointment of Nina Lee Aquino – a leading figure in Canadian theatre who has pushed its boundaries throughout her career as the next Artistic Director of NAC English Theatre. https://t.co/xGWVPUL4Ec

Sue, 65yo, explains why she is saying no to the City’s violently pressured offer of a $6000/mo shelter hotel space. She will stay in Trinity Bellwoods until forcibly removed by @torontopolice at behest of @johntory. Powerful words! @leilanifarha @ESN_TO @reshminair@cathyacrowe
My father was 9 years old in 1948 when Israeli forces turned him into a refugee. Today he is 82, witnessing mass Israeli bombings in Gaza w kids being pulled from rubble & with Israeli mobs pulling people out of cars chanting “Death to Arabs”. Welcome to Israel. #freepalastine
