. @AHousefather 's study is nothing more than a witchhunt against students and those of us speaking out against the unspeakable actions of the Isrseli govt. His aim is less abt tackling antisemitism and more abt silencing criticism of Israel even when it includes Jewish voices.

I'm proud to announce that after far too long, a journalist has been identified who will be reporting in Thompson in the coming weeks. This is what public pressure and people power looks like.

ACLA is very concerned by reports that anti-Palestinian racism will be excluded by the @JustinTrudeau & @KamalKheraLib 's updated Anti-Racism Strategy -even after consulting w/ our communities.This would be tacit acceptance of the unprecedented anti-Palestinian racism we've faced.

Disgusted to hear that as Palestinians are killed through starvation and bombs - that the political and media elite of our country choose to silence a writer speaking out about the death of children in Gaza. Solidarity with @kagisokeo and all artists speaking out.

I said people were dying. I said children were dying of malnutrition. I got thrown out. @polipenottawa was short this year.

After a former CBC journalist spoke out against the discrimination they faced as result of an injury that happened while working, CBC reached out to their insurance provider to get their benefits cancelled. This type of retribution is unacceptable.

When Catherine Tait from the CBC was invited back to Parliament, a number of former employees of CBC reached out to discuss CBC's use and abuse of non disclosure agreements to silence workers.

Canada needs to call out and condemn Israel's assault on Rafah what it is. A genocide. No more excuses. We must act to save lives.

The rights of Canadian women are too important to get caught up in Conservative partisan antics. Pierre Poilievre must stop putting roadblocks in front of free birth control. #PassPharmacareActNow #canlab #cdnpoli 🧵1/3

Justin Trudeau promised to end long-term boiled water advisories more than three years ago. It is now 2024. There still is no end in sight. Every year, Liberals show they care less and less about Indigenous people.
