We must stand together against rising antisemitic rhetoric and hate groups. We must remember the lessons of the Holocaust and the legacy of hate and discrimination that allowed it to happen. Never again means never again for anyone. (2/2)

This Zionist Mayor is inviting violence to be used against students. Canadians are not surprised at all. He is simply an extension of the IDF. What's next: asking the Canadian army to bomb the encampment? Why do Zionists love spelling the blood of those who oppose them?

Remember when Andrew Scheer was Speaker and got caught giving his sister-in-law a job?

The Conservatives didn’t demand Scheer resign like they are with Ferguson.

Seems the Conservatives used QWHITE a different standard with Scheer.

Let's be clear: to the extent that university campuses today are unsafe, the fault lies squarely with pro-Israel counter-protesters, the cops, and the university administrators who enable them.

Judith Butler: “If calling for an end of genocide is understood as making a Jewish student feel unsafe, then the safety of the situation has been oddly co-opted by that particular Jewish student. Palestinians are the one in need of safety [from genocide]” theintercept.com/2024/05/01/jud…

Reprehensible--this view is laden with hatred. But to be clear, Gazans, and anyone fleeing persecution of any kind, are welcome on unceded Algonquin territory.

Good news: injunction that not only would have dismantled the ⁦McGill University⁩ encampment, but prevented protest within 100m of any building gets rejected:

There is valid stuff to debate and criticize, too (stances on cultural boycotts, etc.). But anyone who won’t engage with the elephants in the room remain - war/occupation and our implication in it from afar - is not credible.

Managers and band council employees blocked a road in the Kitcisakik Anicinape Community in Quebec, preventing all outside workers from entering the community.

They hoped to be heard by their band council – but instead they got suspensions.

Stop trivializing people's lives. They're not a ticker-tape counter for your messaging.

People are dying of unregulated contaminated drugs which is what the drug prohibition that you advocate offers them

'I will be the democratically elected prime minister, democratically accountable to the people, and they can then make the judgments themselves on whether they think my laws are constitutional'

Uh no, Pierre Poilievre, courts decide constitutionality

This is also false. There are about 150,000 BC First Nations people in the province right now. The lowest estimate for pre-contact population was 200,000. There’s no dialogue that can come from ignorance.
