On the six-year anniversary of the national inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, only two of the 231 actions have been realized.

This scene is apocalyptic. Some Sask. evacuees forced to find far-flung rooms on their own as wildfires put pressure on hotels #Saskatchewan #Canada About 8,000 wildfire evacuees in province: SPSA www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#Gaza: On June 1, dozens of Palestinians were killed and hundreds more injured by Israeli forces as they waited for food at the distribution centres. Doctors Without Borders teams joined the mass casualty response in Nasser hospital. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-do...

ME SHOUTING AND CLAPPING AND PUNCHING THE AIR AND CRYING. Fuck yeah. These are the Americans I've been waiting to see. Yeah! Back the fuck up, Nazis!

I will never not see Covid vaccines in 2021 as a miracle. As a moonshot. "A new analysis published late last week in Vaccine concludes that COVID-19 vaccination averted 12,806 COVID-19 deaths among Belgians aged 65 years and older from 2021 through 2023."

Yesterday, at 87, my dad & former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, stood for an hour by the road in his old riding. As a Jewish elder, he stood against genocide embodying the values he has always championed. I am so proud to see him on the right side of history – as always. ❤️

King Charles III Speech from the Throne: "I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people. This land acknowledgement is a recognition of shared history as a nation." #cdnpoli

Colin D'Mello | Global News #cdnpoli Premier Doug Ford, who’s set to grow Ontario’s debt to $500B by 2027, accuses the Liberals of “bankrupting” the province.

26 May 1907 | Austrian Jewish woman, Paula Strauss, was born in Vienna. She emigrated to France. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Drancy on 12 August 1942. She did not survive.

I’ll keep howling it until more of you get it: The AHS contract procurement scandal is the only thing we should be focussed on. Separation is a distraction. It’s all about THIS. You are not dogs, #ableg. Stop reacting to every UCP “squirrel”. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

💥 NEWS: McDonald's shareholders voted Tues. to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 99-1 percent. McDonald's Board said the proposal "unduly interferes" with the company's "flexibility and judgment." MCD: "Our success in the future builds on our history of embracing diversity as a competitive advantage."

“We take vaccines so for granted in the United States” ...“Women in the developing world know the power of [vaccines]. They will walk 10 kilometers in the heat with their child and line up to get a vaccine because they have seen death.” Melinda Gates

Another great piece by @petersmith.bsky.social. If you want to see more of the work of folks like Peter, might I suggest supporting @antihate.ca? Full disclosure that I’m a board member, but the folks at CAHN do better work than I ever did on ARC. 🙂 www.antihate.ca/man_facing_h...

I actually want to say this really loudly because I am not seeing other non-Jews say it enough. The Israeli diplomat shooting was an antisemitic hate crime. Yes, most allegations of antisemitism within the anti-genocide movement are bullshit. THIS was antisemitism parading as anti-genocide.

A week after they walked off the job, unionized #HamOnt water and wastewater workers say they worry the city won't be able to properly manage the system without them. They point to a smell outside the main treatment plant as an example of a problem. The city says it's not concerned.

Unbelievably angry that this is a real headline I woke up to and nobody with an ounce of power is doing anything to stop this.

Around 14,000 babies face severe malnutrition if a lot more aid trucks don’t reach the Palestinian enclave soon, a U.N. aid group said. www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

Just signed up to donate to Islamic Relief Canada's Gaza campaign. Back when I worked for that podcast, I donated to UNRWA in Gaza (2.5%). Wrote my MPs. BDS. Spoke publicly. Went to protests. Nothing is enough until we can break the stigma for politicians. www.islamicreliefcanada.org/emergencies/...

I'm gonna be graphic here, so word of a caution if you're a survivor :🧵 The uOttawa hockey team was acquitted & the Hockey Canada team will probably be acquitted, too but that doesn't change the fact that in both cases, the men themselves admitted to behaviour that was downright abhorrent.

1/5 🇨🇦 CANADA POST MAIL DISRUPTION LOOMS 🇨🇦 Canada Post has received strike notice from 55,000 postal workers, with a nationwide walkout set for Friday at midnight. The Canadian Press reports this action threatens service for millions. #CanadaPost #PostalStrike

Pope Leo XIV: "We cannot forget our brothers and sisters who suffer because of war. In Gaza, the surviving children, families, and the elderly are reduced to starvation."

The leaders of Canada, Britain and France warned on Monday that their countries would take action if Israel does not stop a renewed military offensive in Gaza and lift aid restrictions. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

This is going to sound “revolutionary”, but perhaps the way around the financial woes of the @canadapostcorp.bsky.social #Canadapost is to undo Mulroney-era changes requiring it to operate as a business, and once again treat it as the govt service it ought to be.

Why is it always about alcohol for Doug Ford, why are we spending billions on alcohol, when Hospitals, Education and Housing is suffering? #FordFail #Ontario to spend hundreds of millions to boost alcohol sector www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Last week, Jinan Iskafi died of starvation in Gaza. She was four months old. The formula she needed to survive was just across the border. But because of the month's-long blockage of aid into Gaza, her parents couldn't get it in time.

Q&A from a talk I gave last week. Q: "What do you think is the biggest threat in cybersecurity right now? Is it post-quantum computing? Is it AI?" A: Fascism. It's fascism.

Your regular reminder the National Post, and 80% of Canada’s newspapers, are owned by Postmedia, who are owned by New Jersey’s Chatham Assets, a prominent GOP supporter. They are a threat to Canadian sovereignty.

12 May 1928 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Max van den Berg, was born in Rotterdam. In August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Hey Kids - Time for another Classic Canadian Song! 🇨🇦 k.d. lang - Love Is Everything (Jane Siberry cover) (hymns of the 49th parallel, 2004). If you're unfamiliar with Canadian music, this covers album of tunes by Canuck artists is a fabulous introduction! youtu.be/ztPwMFiT7t4?...

A single vote. So when I hear people say “my vote doesn’t count” well that’s just not true now, is it. We’ll take that gimme. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

To any believing in #electionconspiracy, I urge you to volunteer as a scrutineer during any #Canadian election. If there are doubts, there won’t be after YOU see the process #ElectionsCanada has in place. I was astonished at the strict standards and oversight. Zero doubts www.cbc.ca/news/poiliev...
