Was an honour to represent Nicaragua in its case against Germany re Alleged Breaches of Certain International Obligations in respect of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Still much work to be done.
I joined with 200+ professionals, skilled workers, students, community workers, caregivers ++ who gathered on Parliament Hill to protest the unreasonable @CitImmCanada delays in processing their citizenship applications — amounting to as much as 90 months!
Absolutely horrific. Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate.
C12 will become country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees w/o hearings, retroactive bars, mass status cancellation
A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.
Jewish organizations across Canada are speaking out in support of the upcoming exhibition Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. @CMHR_News 1/3
Falling for anti-migrant racism doesn't protect workers, it entrenches capitalism by making workers more vulnerable & exploitable! Our enemy arrives in limousine, not someone on a boat fleeing colonial devastation. Being pro-migrant is central to collective fight against fascism!
Leaving The Hague satisfied but heavy hearted. Proud of our victory, especially regarding UNRWA which I had the honour to plead on. But the horrific situation will not end without 3rd State action based on international law. Israel must be stopped. Now.

This story reeks of #Sinophobia . The central thesis is that any group with “ties to China” should be suspect. Has sectarianism in Tibetan Buddhism become a test of foreign interference? So what if some nuns support reunification of Taiwan & the mainland? https://t.co/StRP7nVoPw
After 18 months of genocide 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇫🇷 say they “will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions”
Did you know that every F-35 dropping 2000 pound bombs on Gaza has essential parts made only in 🇨🇦?
🇨🇦 has hesitated for >1.5yr

Deeply troubling that @marcomendicino has been named as @MarkJCarney cheif of staff. Someone who was consistantly refused to hold Israel and their supports accountable for their crimes against humanity and the genocide in Gaza.
As Israel now continues it's genocidal actions by cutting off aid, food and energy to Gaza will @MarkJCarney take a stand and send a clear message that Canada will not stand for such egregious violations of international law? #cdnpoli
Canadian #mining companies guilty of violating rights of nature — A recent tribunal found 14 companies guilty of exploiting Indigenous lands for mineral extraction across three continents.

BREAKING: After 2+ years of heartbreak and relentless advocacy, Morgan Beatrice Harris is finally coming home. 💔
As a journalist who’s covered this story from the start, I’m typing through tears. Authorities have confirmed what Morgan’s daughters fought so desperately for – their mother has been found at Prairie Green landfill.
I’ve watched Cambria and Elle Harris stand before microphones, petition officials, and organize searches when nobody would listen. On February 26th, what seemed impossible happened – Morgan was found.
Morgan, from Long Plain First Nation, was murdered by a White Supremacist serial killer in 2022. When authorities refused to search the landfill citing “feasibility issues,” her daughters refused to accept it, rallying a movement that forced Canada to acknowledge their mother’s life mattered.
I’ve stood in the cold interviewing these brave young women, witnessing elders sing while the family held photos of Morgan. I’ve seen their outrage when officials called a search “too difficult” and their persistence that moved mountains – and literal tons of garbage – to bring her home.
Today brings both grief and gratitude. Grief for Morgan and her family’s unbearable journey. Gratitude that their love proved stronger than systemic indifference.
Morgan’s remains are one of two sets recovered. The second may belong to Marcedes Myran, another victim from Long Plain First Nation.
To Morgan’s family: Thank you for teaching us what true love looks like. Thank you for showing Canada that every Indigenous woman deserves to be searched for and found.
The work continues. But tonight, Morgan Beatrice Harris is coming home.

Last week, the Conservative Deputy Leader fabricated lies and castigated myself and NDP colleagues, just for voicing solidarity with Jews against genocide.
As a fellow Jew against genocide, I will not stay silent in the face of a genocide.
Honoured to have @FranceskAlbs in the @SenateCA today. She told us in no uncertain terms that Israel is committing atrocities in #Gaza and that Canada risks being complicit in the IDF’s war crimes.
The Israeli response to the horrendous Hamas attack of Oct 7, 2023 has resulted in more than 40,000 deaths, including upwards of 16,000 children killed. What is Canada doing to stop the carnage and how is that going? #SenCA@SenMarcGold
