The situation for Palestinians in Gaza is beyond description, beyond atrocious & beyond inhumane.
A policy of siege & starvation makes a mockery of international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately.
This is a moment for moral clarity & action.
The fact that pretty right wing rando unelected business people and podcasters feel empowered enough to rep & “negotiate” on behalf of Canada - because of Trump’s pre-inauguration Lago HQ - is going to be studied as some breakdown of democracy, like ???
@everyone talking about @AryaCanada can you focus on policy points and platform vs. what he looks like, his birthplace & his accent ?
Not very “inclusive Canada was built on immigration”, when all you white folks, especially men, belittle the idea of a brown immigrant trying.
We call on @fordnation (again) to remove @MacLeodLisa from the PC caucus :
We find the recent remarks below by Lisa deeply concerning. Such statements from a public official can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and contribute to the marginalization of Muslim communities. We urge all politicians to promote inclusivity and understanding, fostering a Canada where diversity is celebrated and discrimination is actively challenged. This is not the Ontario we know and love.
People celebrating Trudeau resigning when many of their gripes are with things controlled by the provincial & municipal government.. yall don’t even know what you’re mad about half the time lmao just regurgitating half baked tidbits of propaganda you found on twitter 🙃
A consensus is emerging: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Thanks to the @guardian for pointing to the increasing list of organisations and scholars concluding that Palestinians in Gaza are the victims of a genocide. See a short list below.
The main question though is not whether a genocide is happening. But What are our governments doing to prevent and stop the genocide in Gaza? Unfolding in front of our very eyes, day after day?

You act surprised. We are reaping what you sowed.
This is what happens when a Prime Minister spends 9 years pushing toxic woke identity politics, dividing and subdividing people by race, gender, vaccine status, religion, region, age, wealth, etc.
On top of driving people apart, you systematically break what used to bring us together, saying Canada is a “post-national state” with “no core identity.”
You erased our veterans and military, the Famous Five and even Terry Fox from our passport to replace them with meaningless squirrels, snowflakes and a drawing of yourself swimming as a boy.
You opened the borders to terrorists and lawbreakers and called anyone who questioned it racist.
You send out your MPs to say one thing in a mosque and the opposite in a synagogue, one thing in a mandir and the opposite in a gurdwara.
You have made Canada a playground for foreign interference. You allowed Iran’s IRGC terrorists to legally operate here for four years after they murdered 55 of our citizens in a major unprovoked attack.
You passed laws that release rampant offenders from prison within hours of their 80th arrest.
And what is the result? Assassinations on Canadian soil, firebombings of synagogues, extremist violence against mandirs and gurdwaras, over 100 churches burned or vandalized (with barely any condemnation from you), all for a total 251% more hate crime.
And, while you were dancing, Montreal was burning.
We won’t let you divide us anymore. Call an election now.
We will fire you and reclaim our citizenship, our values, our lives, our freedom and, most of all, our country.
UN Special Committee finds “Israel’s escalating media censorship, suppression of dissent, and targeting of journalists are deliberate efforts to block global access to information.” 1/2

In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators.
Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.”
On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.”
12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.
@loth_maxime@sciencespo Du coup pour toi c’est normal quand des profs d’une institution d’études politiques interdisent des discussions sur Gaza en cours?
Je me suis rendu à @sciencespo ce matin pour apporter mon soutien aux étudiantes et aux étudiants qui se mobilisent pour la paix à Gaza et qui ont été injustement accusés d’antisémitisme suite à un incident monté en épingle dans le but de discréditer leur action.
Bravo à toutes les voix et les énergies qui œuvrent pour que cessent les massacres d’innocents en cours à Gaza.
Et merci à la direction de Sciences Po pour sa réactivité et son accueil.
🇵🇸 Le coup de pression du Premier Ministre en personne à Science Po est un scandale absolu.
Regardons les faits. Dans une interview au Parisien, l’étudiante décrite par beaucoup comme « virée parce que juive » de la mobilisation contre le génocide à Gaza, à Science po, déclare elle-même :
- Qu’elle n’a pas entendu quelqu’un dire qu’elle était juive, ni même sioniste : « Je ne l’ai pas entendu moi-même. Mais quelqu’un m’a dit qu’un participant avait lancé… »
- Qu’elle a finalement pu rentrer dans la salle mais qu’elle en est sortie d’elle-même
- Que les organisateurs ont motivé leur refus initial de la laisser entrer car elle prenait les militants en photos et en vidéos.

L’offensive d’Attal sur #SciencesPo est une offensive contre les soutiens au peuple palestinien. C’est une offensive au service du génocide israélien basée sur des mensonges.
Dans @le_Parisien la militante de l’UEJF explique qu’elle n’a pas entendu les mots « sioniste » et « juive ». Elle indique qu’elle a assisté à la conférence mais qu’elle en est sortie d’elle-même et que le refus initial était basé sur le fait qu´elle prenait des photos des militants pour les faire circuler.
Bravo à ces étudiants de Sciences Po, qui – en plein génocide sur Gaza – ont remis la Palestine au cœur de l’université, en occupant un amphi.
Nous sommes très fier•es de vous ❤️🇵🇸
#IsraeliApartheidWeek 🇵🇸
@sciencespo qui prône la solidarité comme valeur fondamentale, REFUSE de reconnaître les droits de l’homme des palestiniens. Sciences Po REFUSE d’accorder une minute de silence pr les 31k victimes🇵🇸 Cette institution REFUSE de reconnaître un génocide et de soutenir ses étudiants
