Listen, If you continue spreading lies about Israel, we'll come for you next and turn your family into [...] This is your last warning".. Journalist Hassan Hamad received this message on WhatsApp, along with several calls from an Israeli officer ordering him to stop filming in Gaza. He didn't comply. He was killed today.
⚠️ Tens of thousands of international students face deportation after working to keep the economy running and establishing communities in Canada over the last 5-7 years.
@MarcMillerVM This is the reality of your government's #UseandThrow policy for international students:
STEP 1⃣: Sell the "Canadian dream" to international students through unregulated profiteering colleges at home & recruiters abroad. For years, the government widely marketed that students will be able to "Study, Explore, Work, Stay” in Canada in its promotional materials (see below).
STEP 2⃣: Funnel $31 billion per year into Canada's GDP from international students’ exorbitant tuition fees and other expenditures.
STEP 3⃣: Give employers the greenlight to exploit immigrants on study and work permits, including mass LMIA schemes that have become a modern system of indentured labour. We worked at the height of the pandemic to do the jobs that many did not want to do. We are still working to keep this economy going.
Step 4⃣: Scapegoat immigrant workers (especially international students) for a housing, jobs and public services crisis of the government’s own making.
Step 5⃣: Deport tens of thousands of migrant workers who have built entire lives here, thus repeating Canada’s racist history such as the shameful Komagata Maru incident.
Step 6⃣: Apologize 100 years later, but refuse to transform the immigration and economic system to ensure the dignity and rights of all workers.
Mr. Miller, you have said that you are concerned about racism against immigrants. Yet in the same breath, you are refusing to stop the mass deportation and exploitation of migrant workers.
@MarcMillerVM@JustinTrudeau You still have time to avoid taking Steps 5⃣ & 6⃣ if you truly respect workers' and immigrants' rights. International student graduates across the country are demanding the following:
👉 Extend Post-Graduate Work Permits expiring in 2024-25
👉 5-year PGWP for all international students
👉 Stop LMIA-based exploitation
👉 Fair pathway to PR

@flglmn I too did not realize that John Wick 4, uploaded and split into two tweets by Verified bluecheck user @/megaballsax42069, was an unlicensed presentation. Had I known that I would not have watched it 5 times on Twitter, killing any desire I had to buy the John Wick 4 bluray
surprised by this lawsuit because i had come to believe that works such as john wick 4 that were reproduced in full on twitter and not taken down for extended periods were licensed by the holders. in fact i continue to believe that, to the lasting damage of the rights holders
