Really don’t understand the reasons as to why the third victim of the Golders Green attacker is left out in so many news reports. This sort of thing is fodder to conspiracy theories online, which directly pours fuel on the fire of increasingly rampant antisemitism in the UK

Me to whoever will listen: Ottawa is an underrated city that gets a bad rap. Underrated food scene. Good neighborhoods. Plenty of outdoor space. I miss it and would gladly move back.

If I had a nickel for every time team Canada lost in OT to the USA at this Olympics after their captain suffered a lower body injury in a game against Czechia I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot. But it’s weird that it happened twice.

You can eat this, go skate around on the longest skating rink in the world, and then wrap the evening catching art house cinema at one of the finest rep theatres in the country, and folks from “Markham” will look you in the eyes and say there’s nothing to do in Ottawa.

They constantly talk about how much money Canada Post is "losing", but they never say that the military or the police are "losing" money. In fact they talk about military spending as if it makes money.

Remember that it was @AirCanada that walked away from the bargaining table NOT flight attendants.

Air Canada locked out their workers - they left them with no choice other than to strike.

If your flight is cancelled, blame Air Canada.

When Labour lose votes to Reform it's treated as a sign they have to go right of the Tories but when Labour lose votes to the left it's a sign that left voters have no tactical sense and are all stupid and selfish and don't know what they want

I am deciding to take time off from my work as a family doctor, to join the global march to Gaza, because Gaza deserves it.

Gaza deserves food, clean water, medicines, medical supplies and proper medical care.

The Palestinian people deserve freedom from this ongoing Israeli siege, blockade, starvation, famine, occupation, apartheid, and genocide.

Liberation is good medicine.

I don’t know what else to do in this moment than to join the global march to Gaza. To demand that humanitarian aid enter Gaza, which Israel has and continues to systematically deny to the Palestinian people.

Over a year ago, I made the journey into Gaza through the Rafah border crossing to work in primary care clinics in central Rafah. Before I crossed the border, I saw the aid trucks lined up for kilometres upon kilometres at the border as we drove up. These aid trucks would be systematically held up by Israel from entering, some with their supplies and food expiring, only to have the aid be dumped at the border before it even reached Palestine.

It was initially the plan to work at Nasser hospital, but it was surrounded by Israeli tanks and later besieged and forcibly evacuated by the Israeli military. Now, as healthcare workers continue to do what they can in these impossible situations, Nasser hospital is on the brink of collapse, with healthcare workers donating their own blood in attempts to save their patients. Five days ago, the World Health Organization called for urgent protection of Nasser hospital and Al-Amal hospital, the last two functioning public hospitals in Khan Younis, where currently most of the population is living.

A few months later, after my initial journey into Gaza, I was planning to try to re-enter Gaza through the Rafah border crossing, and I watched videos of the Israeli military occupy and destroy the Rafah border crossing on the Palestinian side. The Israeli military has continued their invasion and occupation of Gaza, and repeated and further forced displacement of the Palestinian people into smaller and smaller pieces of land.

I am seeing ordinary citizens of the world, the people of conscience, take it upon themselves to deliver aid and demand an end to the famine and genocide in Gaza. While the international community has utterly failed to prevent and stop genocide in Gaza. Israel has previously killed activists and bombed past freedom flotillas for attempting to bring aid in. The latest freedom flotilla was not the first attempt to bring humanitarian aid into Gaza by water, nor will it be the last. We all have a collective responsibility to do what we can, to do everything we can, to help bring an end to the famine and genocide in Gaza.

In a few days, we will march collectively to the Rafah border crossing. This time, I won’t be attempting to cross it with a small medical team, as I know that doctors can’t stop a famine or end a genocide. This time, I will be with thousands of other volunteers and activists from all over the world demanding that the thousands of aid trucks be let in. Because this is what is needed to stop the famine and starvation. And for governments like our own in Canada, to end complicity in this genocide - for example, Canadian companies sold $18.9 million dollars worth of military goods to Israel in 2024 alone. Because this is what is needed to end the genocide.

Because when the people of conscience around the world organize, we are powerful to push our governments to help bring this genocide to an end.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Why isn’t the genocide in Gaza being stopped?
Because it pays—and racism justifies it.
My upcoming report lays it bare.

Palestinians have long been the testing ground for weapons, tech, and even agriculture.
If you think you are not involved, you are naive.
If you think you are safe—you are not paying attention.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

I know some of my American, Australian, Canadian friends have been asking for the full Louis Theroux documentary on the settlers.

I've shared it before, but here it is again.

Kamala Harris says “I’m not here to say I told you so.”

That’s good, because it was the left that told you this would happen if you abandoned progressive policies and catered to billionaires.

[Julian Klymochko @JulianKlymochko]

Note that the "Tariffs charged to the U.S.A." are not tariffs at all

They are the U.S. trade deficit divided by U.S. imports from that country

For example:

Trade deficit with China ($295.4 billion) / US imports from China ($438.9 billion) = 67%

Europe: $235.6 / $605.8 = 39%

Someone dumped a single-use vape on my doorstep so I extracted the lithium cell and used it to power this iPod. These cells are perfectly rechargeable and putting them in single-use products really ought to be an ewaste crime.
