Protesting a Jewish owned bookstore in Canada will not change Israel's foreign policy any more than protesting a patisserie in Chicago will change France's foreign policy.

Protests targeting Jewish owned businesses are inherently antisemitic.

I've just returned to Canada after two weeks reporting from Ecuador's sacred lands, where the ancient Andes rise like guardians, their mist-shrouded peaks holding centuries of Indigenous wisdom. Here, where emerald mountains cascade into valleys painted with every shade of green imaginable, I documented horrific atrocities committed by Canadian-owned mining companies, backed by both the Canadian and Ecuadorian states, against Indigenous Peoples.

Where emerald mountains cascade into the Amazon basin – a living tapestry where towering ceiba trees stretch their cathedral-like buttresses into rich earth, where iridescent morpho butterflies flash brilliant blue against a thousand shades of green.

In this realm life pulses in every corner – from the haunting calls of wildlife echoing through dawn mist, to the brilliant flashes of macaws painting the sky, to the delicate orchids that bloom in the embrace of ancient trees.

The parallels to Canada's treatment of our own people are stark – the same calculated playbook of manufactured/false consent, manipulation, and human rights violations. But here, in these mountains where condors still soar and in forests where the very breath of Earth rises from countless leaves, the violence escalates to near-execution levels.

Ecuador's landscape strikes the soul with its raw beauty – from the snow-capped volcanos of the Andes where Indigenous communities have lived in harmony for millennia, to the Amazon's cathedral-like canopy where every breath we take is generated. The Indigenous Peoples here are the stewards of these lands, their traditional knowledge and ways of life intrinsically woven into every valley, every river, every sacred peak. Yet these same communities now face brutal persecution for defending their ancestral territories.

The lungs of our world are being strangled by corporate greed. While hummingbirds dart between orchids and ancient trees reach toward the sun, humanity remains complicit in this violence through our greed, ignorance, overconsumption, and silence.

For safety reasons, I've kept quiet about many details during my time in Ecuador. But know this – a comprehensive piece for Ricochet @ricochet_en and @IndigiNewsMedia Indiginews is coming, along with a major documentary. Canada, your reckoning approaches. The truth of what's happening in these sacred mountains and forests will no longer remain hidden.

A Parliamentary committee is studying federal investments in housing.

The committee heard from the CEO of Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services, who was asked how effective federal investments have been in meeting the needs of the communities he serves.
