Doctors Without Borders calls on the Canadian Government to do more than just remember healthcare workers and patients in #Gaza when it is too late. Canada needs to take action to uphold our shared humanity by demanding an immediate ceasefire.bit.ly/3QzzHQq

Deeply saddened by the loss of my colleague Belal Jadallah, a dedicated journalist and kind soul. He is the 43rd journalist killed in Gaza since October 7. This has been the deadliest month for journalists since Committee to Protect Journalists began collecting data more than three decades ago.

This short piece captures a reality we saw so often at Rise Magazine - parents coerced to agree to adoption of one child in order to safeguard reunification with another child "is certainly not a circumstance lawmakers envisioned." @Mical_Raz @frankalready academic.oup.com/sw/advance-art…

“Wish you were here, wish here was better” and “Here Better Now” have been shortlisted for a GOG award for public program award. This collective project was incredible to work on and be a part of with The Blackwood gallery. blackwoodgallery.ca/program/wish-y…

In the news, my amazing sister and her plastic-eating mushroom lab...🤩

I spent the past week in Burlington with my cousin Hisham and his friends, who are recovering after being shot. While I was praying for a better outcome, Hisham’s injury turned out to be life-altering. The bullet lodged in his spine has caused paralysis from the chest down.

Most areas in Khanyounis were asked to leave. Where should we go? #Gaza

In my 35 years of work in complex emergencies, I never have expected to write such a letter, predicting the killing of my staff & the collapse of the mandate I am expected to fulfill #Gaza

CN aided in the removal of Indigenous children from their homes as they were forcibly transported to residential school. The railway must share their historic policing files. CN was lucky to have Murray Sinclair, Roberta Jamieson working with them. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

Over 20 published research studies & program evaluations have documented how safer supply programs save lives & improve the health of clients accessing them. Today, over 130 experts on substance use across Canada call on the government to rely on evidence, not misinformation.

Extremely cruel to confiscate tents and force human beings onto freezing streets. There aren't enough shelter spaces to accomodate those sleeping outside. Many social services are closed or operating at a limited capacity over xmas. Where are people supposed to go? #yeg #yegcc

Tonight in Ottawa. #PermanentCeaseFireNow

We could see almost a quarter of Gaza’s population - close to half- a million human beings - dying within a year. Largely deaths from preventable health causes & collapse of the medical system. It’s a crude estimate, but one that is data-driven… theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Breaking: Happening now! Over a hundred Jewish Canadians occupied the Parliamentary Building in Ottawa to call on the Canadian government to stop arming Israel and to end Israeli apartheid in Gaza. “Arms Embargo Now!”

It will in essence shut down most of them and it also included overreach legislation to limit our abilities to get funding from the Feds. They are writing a death sentence for thousands of people in Ontario and they did so with swift authoritarian style

International lawyers and academics, including myself, gathered yesterday at the National Bar Association of Tunisia to offer analysis of—and support for—the historic Global Sumud Flotilla. @GlobalSumudF
