Yet say you agree with these multiple content expert organizations and individuals, and you're often maligned, slandered or libelled, and tacitly or sometimes overtly threatened

Throughout this week, I am taking a nostalgic look at school supplies in Canada. Today, it is Laurentien coloured pencils/pencil crayons/leads. This brand existed for decades, but disappeared when an American company bought the brand. This is the story. 🧵1/7

Fourteen emergency workers and a UN worker were killed when the Israeli military opened fire on a convoy of vehicles in Gaza last month.
Live on air… Israel bombs civil defense teams as they try to retrieve the body of journalist Hossam Al-Masri, killed in an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital. Ongoing crimes before the eyes of the entire world.
