💯 Canada's conduct towards Palestinian graduate students trapped in Gaza is an international embarrassment! 👏 Thank you, @heathermcpherson.bsky.social.

Does this look like democracy to you? "The majority of [RM of Sherwood's] council members were appointed by the province… only 10 days ago. Monday was their first regular council meeting. 4 of the 7 current councillors do not live in the RM and were not elected by the residents…" #SkPoli #Sask

"...the province [of Saskatchewan] announced quite a while ago that [Bell's AI data centre] was going ahead and so that's why they brought us in to keep this project going along..." Ray Orb, appointed reeve of the RM of Sherwood 10 days before AI centre vote 🤷 www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Academics & unions can do great research together, to the benefit of both sides. This collection discusses how to do it right. "Symposium: Promising Practices in Scholar-Union Collaboration: Lessons for Building Effective Research Partnerships." erudit.org/fr/revues/ri... #canlab /2

Excellent. Alberta decides to be stuck in time with Saskatchewan. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/alb...

Textbook industry capture.

Concerned about rushed, unregulated & undemocratic AI expansion? Read this story from Saskatchewan. Unbelievable.

👏 64% of UBC senators support motion for a special meeting to discuss partnerships with Israeli universities and part. with universities in other apartheid states. Just shy of 66% support required. Amazing organizing by campus groups. Bravo! The writing is on the wall.

"Been looking for PEACE but they're bringing you war." Tell it Sam Roberts! 🕊️

The judge gave the company five years to pay the fee, in instalments of $150,000 starting May 2027. Check out the conclustion to this long-running courts saga in The Tyee

Rare criminal conviction for a worker death and serious injury to another worker. Thank you for sticking with this important story @isaacphannay.bsky.social

@UAlberta sued for violating protestors' Charter freedoms of expression, assembly, and association. This is a high-stakes case for Canadian democracy. sites.google.com/view/ualbert... @univcan.ca #cdnpoli #FreePalestine

The Saskatchewan labour movement has lost a giant. Rest in power, Bob Sass ❤️✊

Solidarity with my @uregina.bsky.social colleague who is facing vicious public attacks. Thank you for your message to campus, President Keshen.

Dear Globe and Mail, can you please help us with our “problem” …

Friends, here’s the info for my Dad’s memorial. Please do RSVP here (and you can register for livestreaming too). www.bit.ly/honouringste...

Since I’m Canadian, I will say this politely… No, thank you.

My friend Sajida Jalalzai, scholar of religion, was denied tenure by Trinity, in retaliation for her statements on Gaza. “Early career faculty need to know that there is a rational path to tenure. Dr. Jalalzai’s case proves that this is not true.” She is suing. trinitonian.com/2026/04/09/j...

Translation: The Government of Canada is morally bankrupt.

It's clear there is nothing Israel could do that would get Canada's political class to stop supporting it. Israel has been committing a widely documented genocide for years, has slaughtered tens of thousands of children, and most Canadian politicians are absolutely fine with that. They don't care.

A lovely ad to see at YYJ. What can mining do for BC? It can run further roughshod over Indigenous title, Indigenous land rights, and the environmental health of the province, for starters.

Update: 18 months since @ubcmedicine.bsky.social SPPH let me go for speaking out about Israel's genocide in Gaza. Faculty Asscoiation grievance filed 14 mon. ago. Process is painfully slow & no arbitration has been scheduled. As I've said before: I will not sign an NDA as a condition of settlement.

7 April 1940 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Corry Groenteman, was born in #Amsterdam to Cato and Barend. Together with them and her elder brother Freddy she was sent to #Westerbork & deported to #Auschwitz. She was murdered in a gas chamber on 28 July 1942.

‼️"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and other war criminals must face justice. Off to the Hague, now.

An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

🚨🏺🩸🇱🇧 NEW: "Silence Is Not Neutral: An Archaeological Update from Lebanon" by Nelly P. Abboud: everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2026/04/02/s...

A blatant smear. Tropes? Dog whistles? 1. Supporters wearing keffiyehs 2. A "massive" Pal. flag on stage during Lewis' accept speech 3. Wab Kinew's statement about the US-Israel war 4. A tweet from new NDP president N. Ricardo 5. Statement against CBSA barring R. Hassan from entering Canada 🤦

May we honour Stephen Lewis' legacy by rededicating ourselves to protecting universal human rights both here in Canada and around the world.

Good morning, the President is threatening egregious crimes against humanity again.

Surprising conclusion!

“The region’s language is mowing the grass” David Brooks @theatlantic.com. No, this is Israel’s language that it employs to dehumanize & indiscriminately slaughter thousands of civilians. The comment goes unchallenged @pbsnews.org. Disgusted how this language is normalized.

Today in AI: Canada rejected the PR application of a McMaster postdoc from the Sorbonne who works in the immunology of aging because the generative AI being used to process applications (😱) entirely hallucinated her credentials. Everyone involved should be fired. archive.is/ELrCI#select...

🤦Coca-Cola Bottling's actions suggest it doesn't give a damn about human rights protections for injured workers in Canada. Good work, CBC Go Public. cbc.ca/news/gopubli...

Cannot handle the Carney doctrine of big 'middle power' talk and then just towing the US line on absolutely everything.

Who writes these headlines?

Jesse Welles at the Commodore in Vancouver ✌️

Anticipation. Jesse Welles at the Commodore.

The BC Teachers Federation, the province wide labour union representing over 40,000 teachers, has just passed a resolution in support of BDS! The first province-wide motion to support BDS in solidarity with Palestine!!

❗On Friday evening, the CAJ learned that journalist Rachel Gilmore had recently been approached in public by individuals linked to, or implicated in, an investigation she had written, and was published by The Tyee that focused on white nationalists. https://loom.ly/z22FRzg

👏 UBC student referendum: 66% (8,894) vote in favour of cutting all ties with Israeli universities upholding apartheid. ubyssey.ca/news/referen...

Waking you up this morning with some new music from Kneecap. The Irish Rap Trio is in the news again this week after the high court in London rejected a crown appeal of Mo Chara's earlier acquittal on "terrorism" charges. The song is Smugglers and Scholars - from their upcoming album "Fenian."

The sheer arrogance & delusions of Honest Reporting Canada, an org. committed to fomenting harassment of journalists: “We regard ourselves as an added layer of editorial oversight” and “we found that most journalists value the work that we do.” /1

I want to live in a world where there is moral outrage and condemnation of a US double tap strike responsible for the deaths of over 165 students, teachers and parents at an elementary school.

What books did Alberta schools *actually* pull off the shelves in response to a provincial order? It took a lot of work to find out. We still don't have a complete picture. And some schools are still pulling material. Free speech advocates say it's ban unmatched in Canadian history. #AbLeg By me.
