Around 50,000 babies have been born in #Gaza in 9 months of war⚠️ Women are giving birth in traumatic, unhygienic conditions without access to basic services. It’s an immeasurable political failure that the war has gone on for this long. #CeasefireNow👉 https://t.co/kbu37kJFBU

Whoever is behind the middle of the night shootings at two Jewish schools are disgusting cowards. But these racist conclusions and anti l-immigrant comments from the premier about an ongoing investigation are wildly irresponsible and downright dangerous.
NEW: Premier Doug Ford strongly suggests that immigrants are behind shootings at Jewish-based schools in the province. "Your bringing your problems from everywhere else in the world to Ontario and your going after other Canadians," Ford said. #onpoli

We are losing all of Gaza’s journalists, my God. Entire families, bloodlines wiped out. Over 40% of Palestinians killed are children. Israel wants Gaza to become a graveyard for both the dead & living.

what percentage of landfills do you guys think is going to be made up of $1 polyester tote bags in 5 years
The LCBO says the move will remove nearly 135 million paper bags annually and will save the equivalent of 188,000 trees each year.

I've returned several times to the strange social question, "Why are Americans so angry at the idea that child sex trafficking - particularly by large organizations and by kidnapping American kids - is not as common as people suggest?" Because they are, this comes up every

This is false and obviously so to anyone working in news or politics. The Canadian Press is a news service subscribed to by many news organizations, just like AP in the U.S. Competing outlets independently choose whether to carry a given CP story. No collusion or co-ordination.
No wonder Trudeau wants to censor all but four or five Liberals news sources: they all coordinate in attacking Poilievre with the same false headline. Collusion?

The auditor general’s report is a thorough dismantling of pretty much everything the government has said about how and why it cut into the Greenbelt. None of it was true. The government’s choice to repeat those untruths again now is telling.

Facebook’s blockade against Canadian news may disproportionately impact new immigrants who rely more on social media for information and resources. @BroadviewMag @markramzyy

Research suggests newcomers rely on social media, particularly Facebook, for news more than other Canadians, raising questions about how diaspora communities may be affected by tech giants’ response...

It's an Anu Raina skirt, if I'm not mistaken!
The FIRST racialized person to become mayor of Toronto after 189 years officially takes office today. I'd like to say a heartfelt congratulations to @oliviachow and to let her know how much I love her skirt 😍

Registering to vote almost anywhere means providing proof of address. But what if you don’t have one? My piece for @broadviewmag explores how people experiencing homelessness access Canadian elections. Very grateful for the opportunity to work with @emma_prest on this!
Going in a group makes the registration process easier for voters who don’t have traditional documentation. It also makes the process less intimidating and humiliating, says Siloam Mission spokesperson Luke Thiessen. Story by: @georgia_j_k
