Watching genocide unfold live: we know what is happening & can act. We're on the verge of a holocaust: more than half of people in Gaza are currently being starved. Waterloo Region hosts weapons companies/manufacturers aiding genocide - we must act now to stop this genocide.

According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, the genocidal Israeli regime has now killed more than 10,000 infants and children since the start of its attack on the Gaza Strip on 7 October. euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6020 #gaza #genocide

Israeli forces deliberately murdered Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh 4 years ago today. Canada’s Liberal government worked quietly behind the scenes to help Israel whitewash its responsibility for the killing. readthemaple.com/one-year-on-wh…

Not that Canadians haven't been fundamentally anti-indigenous this whole time (it's literally foundational to being a Canadian) but there is an increase in anti-indigenous sentiment right now. Oppose it every chance you get. Never give them an inch.

Canada has not condemned the murder of a single journalist in Palestine or Lebanon. #cdnpoli
Prime Minister of Canada@CanadianPM

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we recognise the fundamental role of a free press in strengthening our democracy. At all hours and on every front, they define and defend our values. Canada will always stand for a free and independent media, and for the values that protect it.

Carney is slashing billions from health care and smothering pharmacare and childcare. And wants to privatize public assets! The greatest Conservative PM we ever had is giving CPR to the NDP.

To clarify: many of us who oppose Carney don't think he's dumb, or even making a mistake We know he's a bright man with a quality education and demonstrated expertise. The issue is that he's using his talents purposefully to hurt 99% of Canadians for the benefit of capitalists

This isn't a new tactic. A court said Ford couldn't pass voter suppression and political fundraising legislation, so he used the notwithstanding clause to force it through. Ford has since won two more majorities thanks to that legislation and low turnout. Bet you had no idea.

Ford was told he couldn’t conduct government business on his personal phone. He did it anyways. A court ordered he release his cell phone records. He refused. Today, the Ontario Government will vote to allow Ford to delete those records, retroactively. This is authoritarian.

Ottawa says Israel’s new death penalty law “dehumanizes Palestinians.” In the same week, it dissolved @SamidounPP and escalated its crackdown on Palestine solidarity at home, contradicting its own rhetoric and reinforcing the system it claims to oppose. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

Eight of Ontario’s largest regional governments — including Niagara — will have their leaders appointed by the province instead of elected. This reduces local accountability & moves decision-making further from the people it affects. This is not democracy. This is a power grab.

A self-evident moral panic driven by reactionary cops aiming to create a spectacle to fulfill their own political purposes did you see anything like this when a reactionary killed four in a mosque in Quebec City? the distance in the response tells everything you need to know
Toronto Police@TorontoPolice

Toronto Police will have an increased and visible presence across the city this weekend at places of worship and gathering spaces. Our priority is simple: making sure people can gather and celebrate safely.

How about additional aid for Cuba - where people are dying from an illegal blockade by another imperialist superpower?
