So Jesse Brown emailed The Hill Times like the Karen he is to try and get me fired by saying my tweets were “stoking racial animosity”. First off, have you met me? Second, my thread was an observation on the racial constructs of power and…🧵

The OPP is investigating a company that received millions from the Skills Dev Fund. It was Doug’s govt that awarded funds to that company. On the weekend, Ford shows up at a Xmas photo op in an OPP hoodie.😳 I wonder how this investigation will turn out?👮‍♂️

Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine.

Canada's foreign affairs minister got back to me about top scholars' finding that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It...wasn't great. Meanwhile, Poilievre is out here calling Palestine the "Hamas state." But where leaders fail, the people step up: the Global Sumud Flotilla is setting sail.

Russia brutally attacked Ukraine last night, killing innocent civilians in residential areas and damaging the Cabinet of Ministers building. My thoughts are with the injured and everyone who is mourning their loved ones. A just and lasting peace for Ukraine will require robust and credible security guarantees. Last night's cowardly attack underscores the urgency of that mission. I was honoured to stand with President Zelenskyy in Kyiv late last month as Ukraine marked its Independence Day. As I affirmed alongside Prime Minister Svyrydenko in the same building that was damaged last night, Canada stands with Ukraine and Putin’s unrelenting aggression will never weaken our resolve. Canada is steadfast in its commitment to the Coalition of the Willing and its willingness to deploy direct and scalable military assistance in support of upholding a ceasefire and lasting peace.

Canada condemns the terrorist attack in East Jerusalem today that has taken civilian lives and injured so many. Canadians extend our deepest condolences to the victims’ families and loved ones, and we are keeping the people of Israel in our thoughts. Together with our partners and allies, we will keep working with urgency and determination in support of lasting peace and security for the region.

Israel is destroying Gaza City to force Palestinians off their land. These are homes being flattened, blatant war crimes for everyone to see and world “leaders” do nothing to stop it.

this article talks a lot about the G7 and how well-positioned Canada is to lead global critical minerals talks because of how many mining companies we have, but completely neglects talking about all the countries and workers we exploit for those minerals, esp in the Global South

Relatively small countries, such as Finland, are vocally defending the ICC from Trump's latest sanctions. But Canada, a G7 member and one of the first countries to push for the ICC's creation in the 1990s, has said nothing -- even after a Canadian judge was sanctioned this week.
