I support the 2 state solution: Palestinians get Palestine, and israelis return to their original countries.

90% of Gaza’s children
“We estimate that at least 90% of Gaza’s children under the age of five are affected by one or more infectious diseases.” @unicefchief on the unimaginable suffering of children in Gaza - they need a permanent humanitarian ceasefire now.

We are absolutely dejected to witness the steady stream of excellent journalists losing their jobs today @Bell. We want to acknowledge the incredible, vital work our colleagues perform every day to keep Canadians informed. When journalism jobs are lost, it affects us all.
BREAKING: Bell is cutting 9% of its workforce — a total of 4,800 jobs — including journalists and other workers at its Bell Media subsidiary as it sells off 45 of its 103 regional radio stations. “It's not a viable business anymore.” STORY: https://t.co/X3T07DTKH9

Once again: the Ontario Chief Coroner’s Table on Understanding Fire Deaths in First Nations report from 2021 stated that First Nations children under the age of 10 are 86 times (‼️) more likely to die in a fire than non-Indigenous children.
Oh Canada... why do you let so many beautiful and talented young Indigenous people die? Jared Guerard painted this incredible painting. He died in a house fire in Peawanuck because the government refused to invest in proper fire services. @PattyHajdu

Pierre Poilievre's front line are sock puppets of Galen Weston. Freaking lobbyists for Loblaws. This guy doesn't have your back. He works for Galen.

A Stats Canada report estimated that up to 80% of police responses to calls were related to issues of mental health, drug overdose, suicide, domestic dispute/domestic violence & other ‘non-criminal’ offences. If police are not trained to handle these issues, why are they sent?
we each pay hundreds of dollars per year to the toronto police, who claim that they still need more, yet research shows crime rates have no correlation to higher budgets. instead, they’re out here openly targeting unhoused people and protestors https://t.co/E4tLiVCFQn

Hey @JustinTrudeau your colonizer is showing.
THIS JUST IN: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada does not support the premise of South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice that accuses Israel of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

I am disturbed & appalled at the suspension of Dr. @yipengGe from @uOttawaPHPM. He is amongst numerous healthcare workers being targeted for speaking against the violence in Palestine. Please sign and share widely. He does not deserve this. --

When Israel drops bombs on hospitals in Gaza, the Canadian state supports it. When we as Canadians stay silent, we send the message that we support our governments actions. #FreePalestine is the only anti-war position.
Israel has given Al Awda Hospital in Gaza just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients. MSF unequivocally condemns this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza. We are trying to protect our staff and patients.

I'm heartbroken. I don't even know how to function or process all of this.. We are watching a Genocide unfold. The Israeli government is boastfully commiting war crimes against an entire civilian population while the international community tells us "it's complicated"...

As part of a group of Palestinians & allies, I peacefully attended the @NDP convention to demand the party take a principled stance with Palestine today. We were blocked from entering. We were assaulted by private security & police. We were nearly pushed down the stairs.🧵

The NDP sailed to victory last night with a solid win that cements leader Wab Kinew as Manitoba's first First Nations premier. The NDP also has enough seats to form a majority government.
