I fell like there’s a vast ocean between what the average white person thinks policing is for and what Black and brown people know policing is for. Cops have no duty to protect anybody and certainly no interest in protecting journalists—as evidenced by them shooting journalists literally on purpose.

NEW: Contrary to his assertions, Carney’s housing plan does not replicate WWII-era housing policies. In fact, it does just the opposite. It continues the legacy of corporate welfare that replaced this nation’s heroic wartime housing efforts.

When people argue that Canada is a settler colonial state, there is no threat of criminal sanction. Yet, the same evaluation of Israel is labelled hate speech and the call for a free Palestine can invite legal consequences. This incongruity is very largely the work of the pro-Israel lobby.

The housing crisis will not be resolved by increasing supply, but by increasing the right kind of supply. Constructing more homes will only lower costs if they come with long-term affordability covenants, are kept out of reach of investors, and are paired with significant non-market alternatives.

This statistical representation is disingenuous. Using the total number of charges against an individual to demonstrate an increase in a terrorism threat is misleading. Many charges get dropped before prosecution, and there's an incentive to add charges to get a plea. globalnews.ca/news/1119443...

The criminalization of speech that associates Zionism with racism threatens not only progressive activism across Canada, but also support for democratically passed resolutions at the United Nations and a long past and present of Jewish anti-Zionism.

The growing number of people of conscience taking to the streets won’t be shut down by the familiar false allegations, so Israel’s allies are turning to criminal sanction and repressive police action to squelch the right to assemble and speak freely in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
