NEW: Global Affairs Canada met with a Canadian subsidiary of Israeli arms giant Elbit Systems 3 days before Parliament voted on a motion calling for an end to arms exports to Israel. The Liberal government then pushed to water down the motion and did not initially apply restrictions to existing military exports. readthemaple.com/global-affairs…

In January, a Mossad-linked Israeli group tried to “shut down” The Maple by contacting payment processors and demanding they cut off services to us. (This is not mentioned in the report) readthemaple.com/a-mossad-linke…

Lamine Yamal is a generational talent whose career will hopefully outlive your terrorist state.

Surprise, surprise: Israeli Minister of Defence going after a kid.

NEW: Mark Carney's move to allow police to seize and search small pieces of mail represents a doubling down on failed war-on-drugs policies, experts say. Latest from @emmapaling readthemaple.com/carney-doubles…

CBC just asked Anita Anand about the safety of Canadians on board an aid flotilla to Gaza and if she is opposed to Israel's naval blockade. She didn't answer the question and made general comments about the availability of "consular support."

The Carney government’s move to let police forces seize and search small mail will mostly affect people who order illicit drugs online, experts say. readthemaple.com/carney-doubles…

I actually really appreciate what a transparent hack Bari is.

The Israeli government has been actively lobbying the Canadian government about "antisemitism," but Global Affairs Canada is refusing to release records of those efforts. The Liberal government is choosing to keep this foreign ethnostate's attempts to manipulate Canadian policy a secret.

“The American left” and it’s just imperialists who want a bit of healthcare

It’s legitimately embarrassing how arrogant and clueless American pundits are about Canadian politics.

AOC's role in the Dem Party is exactly what Obama's was: to commandeer the intense political energy for radical change, especially among young people, and cynically channel it into votes for a Dem Party that changes nothing, thus rendering that energy impotent and worthless:

This is — without exaggeration — the biggest scandal of the century 🤯 🔴 Trump is selling presidential pardons. 🔴 Netanyahu is leading coups in LatAm. 🔴 Milei is destabilizing his neighbors. 🔴 JOH is acting as a US colonial agent. 🔴 And so, so much more. Above all, Hondurasgate is a violent wake-up call for defenders of democracy across the world. The Reactionary International is outpacing us in every single dimension: they are more agile, more creative, more audacious. and more effective. The first step of our response is transparency: to track the long list of crimes that these reactionary forces are committing in service of their colonial project. The second is accountability: to apply the legal tools that we have to ensure that these crimes do not go uncontested, and that delinquents like JOH are punished. But the third must be articulation: to develop our own networks that do not simply give speeches and sign declarations but act with the same determination to defend and deepen our democracies from the insidious tactics of this global network of reactionary forces.

Still one of the best and also one of the most crushing days of my life. I remember going to away days after this and singing “have you ever been to Hamburg have you fuck.”

Can’t wait to see how they square retracting Kristoff’s story with no basis other than it hurt their feelings, while standing by Screams Without Words, which has completely fallen apart.

“Not a single shred of evidence was listed in the piece, other than the testimonies of 14 people…”
