Sorry you experienced this Joanna Berry @joanna-berry.bsky.social. Understandably upsetting and very disturbing. If true that Law Society of Ontario is behind this, it’s appalling — esp. since, AFAIK, they did nothing about the benchers who sent the career threatening letter re: TMU students. #abuseofpower

ALERT: This plan to forcibly transfer the remaining Palestinian inhabitants of northern #Gaza is now underway. Exactly one year after #Hamas invaded #Israel and committed atrocity crimes, the latter's actions are in grave breach of #IHL, and the norms of international law
