Morning. Hamilton's striking Water workers are picketing at the Mountain Transit Centre. Numerous HSR bus routes are impacted with some delays. This week's picket line is not holding buses for as long ad a few weeks ago. #yhmcc #hamont

My mom Michele Landsberg wrote columns for decades - changing countless lives with her powerful prose and sparkling arguments. At 85, goddamn she still has it. Read this piece about her pop-up feminist protest against genocide. Mom, you’re my hero. archive.is/vc8me

"Over the past 20 months, I have been weeping for the murdered, mutilated and orphaned children of Gaza as bitterly as I had wept over the murdered families in the weeks after October 7. Yes, some of us can keep both thoughts in our heads and empathy for both sides — all humans — in our hearts."

Five members of a United Nations convoy carrying aid have been killed in an attack. The convoy was made up of 15 trucks from the UN's food and children's agencies, who said it was "devastating" that the aid did not reach "famine-stricken" el-Fasher. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wonderful!!!

John Fogerty on Trump’s ‘Confounding’ Use of a Creedence Classic About Draft Dodgers: ‘He IS the Fortunate Son’ #cdnpoli

Look. I have written a book about how Nazis took over and guess what—this is how they take over: Claim there is an invasion of immigrants. Use it to create an authoritarian state. Shut down any objection or protest with excessive force. I have receipts. I will talk to press. It’s right here, now.

🚨 New report 🚨 1/ DIAGOLON: Canada’s Homegrown White Nationalist Network In a comprehensive report, we look at the network’s origins, rise & future as it’s changed from a loose collection of live streamers into a uniquely Canadian white nationalist network: ➡️ www.antihate.ca/diagolon_can... 🧵

My grandmother was a young pregnant Jewish woman alone on a train in Poland during WWII when a German soldier told her to get off at the next stop because there wouldn't be any soldiers waiting at the station. She survived because, in that moment, a soldier chose the right thing over obeying orders.

13 June 1918 | Norwegian Jewish man, Adolf Schacht, was born in Kristiania (today Oslo). In #Auschwitz from 1 December 1942 No. 79230 He perished in the camp in December 1943.

One of many posts today NOT about politics. Hope anyone who needs a timeline cleanse finds some peace.

Bill C-5 lets decision-makers ignore a project’s environmental impact when judging national interest. @canrac.bsky.social warns it threatens democracy, the environment, and Indigenous rights. climateactionnetwork.ca/bill-c-5-jeo... #ClimateChange #CdnPoli

Urgent help needed for groceries. People are Hungry😭 Can anyone help tonight? Disabled and living in legislated poverty, it’s a struggle every single day💔

Personally I don't think we should be interviewing Pierre Poilievre at all anymore unless he's wearing a giant flashing "VISITOR" sandwich board over his torso like he's doing an advertisement for Arby's

'Ontario’s Bill 5 wilfully ignores this obligation and now threatens our lands, waters, and our ability to protect them for future generations.'

A new data analysis finds the National Post quietly modified nearly 200 newswire articles since Oct. 7 to push a pro-Israel narrative. Jason Toney from @cjpme.org breaks down how the paper edited stories to erase Israeli occupation and frame Palestinians as terrorists.

Who knew the next country the United States would invade based on a lie would be the United States.

10 June 1925 | A Polish girl, Stanisława Lazar, was born in Sączów. In #Auschwitz from 25 January 1943. No. 31343 She perished in the camp on 12 April 1943.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Northern Ontario First Nation leaders are vowing 'Idle No More 2.0' if Doug Ford moves ahead with Bill 5. "They’re just making things up on the fly... it's too late in the process to fix this." NEW from @jonthompson.bsky.social: ricochet.media/indigenous/i... #onpoli #indigenous #IdleNoMore

Canadian feminist royalty among the hundreds who showed up today to protest against the genocide in Gaza. Kudos to Michele Landsberg for rallying everyone. #GazaGenocide #WomenInBlack

Trump wants to create violence in California as a distraction while his agents round up families, farm workers and students for detention and deportation.

It's dubbed the "None is to many" law. Canada sends asylum seekers back to the United States under a treaty that's supposed to protect their rights. We know it's not happening. Canada has legal obligations here. My latest substack. Free to read. Free to subscribe. open.substack.com/pub/caroloff...

Canada stands with the EU & a host of nations that respects the ICC & abides by its rulings. All war criminals and those who commit crimes against humanity - BE THEY HAMAS OR ISREALI LEADERS - must be called out and face justice. Nationality doesn't confer immunity. Religion doesn't infer morality.

Canada's Safe Third Country Agreement with the United States is endangering the lives of countless people. It's immoral and probably unconstitutional. Mr. Carney, tear down that wall. My latest substack. Free to read. Free to subscribe.

Wow! A MASSIVE crowd at Gore Park Line for people suffering in hunger and homelessness! We gave out hot meals/produce, pantry, SPCA pet food and vet care. I met working families who can’t make ends meet, seniors who said it’s a lifesaver, and guests who are homeless. #Onpoli #CanadaSky #Hamont 🥹

Canada is sending refugees back to the US -- a regime that violates their rights and deports women and children. We have obligations to those people. It's time we honoured them. Mr. Carney, tear down that wall. My latest substack. open.substack.com/pub/caroloff...

Canada Post wants to create a new class of flexible, part-time worker that will better compete with Amazon and implement “dynamic routing” so delivery routes can be changed on the fly. It’s a good example of how Amazon degrades workers’ rights even beyond its walls. Workers are right to push back.

Another brilliant piece by @caroloff.bsky.social It explains why the "Strong Borders Act" or Bill C-2 is a regressive bill being put forward by the Liberal government. Instead of this bill, let's strengthen our asylum claims processing system and scrap the STCA. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Doug Ford is a Trumpist. He has always been a Trumpist. He will always be a Trumpist. He fooled people briefly about all that during the Ontario election this year.

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.
