"No one’s doing us any favours" @rumneeek reports on @PierrePoilievre's response -one which PM Mark Carney did not give- to Sikh organizations regarding "foreign interference by India", after a Gurdwara politician photoshoot ban was considered. Read: pressprogress.ca/sikh-coalition…

New from me: After threatening to deny politicians access to Sikh spaces, a coalition of Sikh groups finally heard from Pierre Poillievre, the NDP, and the Liberal Sikh caucus on foreign interference. Mark Carney did not respond. Read the exclusive here: pressprogress.ca/sikh-coalition…

Canada’s Longest Strike Ends With Victory for Vancouver Hotel Workers “The message this sends is that workers who stick together, and are willing to fight side by side and for as long as it takes, can win.” pressprogress.ca/canadas-longes… #canlab #bcpoli

‘NO OTHER LAND’ filmmakers Basel Adra, Rachel Szor, Hamdan Ballal & Yuval Abraham accepting their #Oscar: “It reflects the harsh reality we’ve been enduring for decades, we call to stop the injustice and stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.”

The India-Pakistan “Relocation” only displaced about 15-20 million people, left a couple of million dead, many missing and so many traumatized that grandparents still don’t talk about it. But ya let’s sanitize all that to suit our narratives, build our careers or whatever

New, from me:

ok Jonathan bhai, come thru

🗞️Former international students who have maintained an encampment protest since August 30th in Brampton share their stories in @macleans: "I understand why Canada is recruiting newcomers with specific skills. But it’s penalizing people like me, who came here under different rules and have given our time, labour and effort to this country. When I arrived, Canada was recruiting hard in my country to address a mid-pandemic worker shortage. It feels like a nasty bait and switch. [...] At least I’m not alone. Many friends who hoped to begin a life here are now facing deportation too. We have social media support groups. We’re organizing protests and talking to MPs. But we’re grappling with a lot of depression and despair, not knowing what our next steps will be. [...] I’m advocating for people in my position. The government should at least extend work permits again and give us more time. I hope we see change soon, because I can’t help but feel like we were scammed into coming here: we helped Canada when it needed us and were then told to go home." - Sahib Singh, 27 year old member of the PGWP committee macleans.ca/society/these-…

Thanks @vancolour & @rumneeek. We need to be observant of the grave form of discrimination that transpires when people in a position of influence or power gravitate to ethnicity in the absence of a coherent, rational argument. biv.com/news/commentar…
