TBH I was at work and didn't attend this one nor have I seen the whole raw video - I'll be taking a look Monday to see if the PM said anything more - noting for now that he needs "consensus" from provinces and "participation" of #Indigenous peoples #cdnpoli

Our medical staff are donating their own blood to provide life-saving treatment for patients in #Gaza. Patients that were gunned down while trying to get food. Food for their families. Food to live. We need an immediate #ceasefire, now.

Despite everything we know about climate change; despite falling behind in GHG targets in CleanBC; despite frequent opposition from First Nations, another LNG pipeline has been approved in northern BC. Very bad and disappointing. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

CBC coverage on starving people killed by Israeli soldiers. Lead: Israel denies it shot starving people. Top quote:IDF media dude-not true, just trying to help. etc. Journalist: "Serious" allegations but Israel says no. Aid worker quote framed as more "allegations" Just another day in the genocide.

Canada tabled sweeping legislation today to increase border security, incl powers to cancel or suspend immigration docs immediately, and huge crack downs on asylum applications While Canadians can feel smug about their nationalism in this tarriff-trade war, it's a pretext for anti-migrant control.

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social These young people are going to Gaza to try and stop the murder of children. That they have to put their live on the line reflects the absolute failure of the west, the G7, Canada. Call the Israeli embassy and warn them not to harm these children. The world watches.

I do not care if Canada post is ever profitable. It is a public service, everyone owns it. That’s valuable in and of itself. We don’t ask the emergency room or public schools to turn a profit. We ask them to be accessible for everyone to use.

If you read the Globe & Mail article about the 900 block Pandora or have been following what some city councillors have been saying in response to it, please read Euan Thompson's piece. It's super thoughtful & includes a lot of data & context. @drugdatadecoded.ca drugdatadecoded.ca/bc-governmen...

If I’m following the logic correctly here, “Elbow’s Up” refers to a rejection of American imperialism as well as a celebration of British imperialism?

Pierre Poilievre, speaking to caucus yesterday, referred to what I can only assume are the anti-genocide protests as “rampaging antisemitic riots.” He got a standing ovation. For seemingly pledging to crack down on people who want a genocide stopped. Very “free speech” of him. Fucking foul

Canada boldly asserts its sovereignty by inviting the King of another country over to remind everyone that he’s our head of state too. I know he’s our king too, but once can make a strong argument that Mary Simon better represents contemporary Canada. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
