Feds & province coordinated their action to re-criminalize drug possession in 10 days.
No urgency for 8+yrs of OD deaths tho

I’m a proud 4th generation Jewish Ottawan. My family helped build the community & ran the most iconic Jewish business in the city’s history — the Rideau Bakery. Raising the flag of a state committing a genocide goes against every value I was instilled with & betrays our humanity.

LIVE: Press conference at UofT Occupy for Palestine camp, one week into the demonstration. Students will update demands for University of Toronto to divest from Israel twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

How does one explain this?

Update from Rafah. IOF is mixing baby crying sounds now with laughs. Justin Trudeau thinks Zionists are normal though so don't worry.

1/? talked to a palestinian friend tonight who has lost thirty three family members since october. it was a devastating conversation. i dont talk about this much on twitter but i have not stopped thinking about it bc how can you. this is one of the worst things we will witness
