Patiently waiting for the CBC to interview @smohyeddin.bsky.social (re: attacks on Iran). Recognized by PEN for advancing freedom of expression (2025), Samira appeared on the Australian Broadcasting Corp. & Al-Jazeera this week + a column in @theglobeandmail.com. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... .

The Canadian Association of Journalists and other professional associations (including unions) must do more to protect journalists from harassment and threats of violence. This needs to stop.

Excellent op-ed by @alexneve.bsky.social re: graduate students in Gaza waiting up to two years for study visas. "A delay of weeks is processing. A delay of months is a backlog. But a delay of a year, without explanation or end, is a de facto rejection." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Essential watch by @smohyeddin.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL8h...

My latest for the Globe and Mail: “Let us not mistake this moment for liberation. Iranians didn’t ask for this war – it came to them. What comes next cannot continue to be bestowed through bombs. Freedom doesn’t sound like a siren.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

CBC: Help me understand why Saskatchewan commercial talk radio can interview @smohyeddin.bsky.social and @cbcnews.ca & other CBC programs can’t/won’t 🤷

“Sorry I’m sounding so confused but the rationales have been very confusing!” Amy Goodman @democracynow.org trips up trying to explain the shifting US justification for its attack on Iran while guest, Rami Khouri, tries keep a straight face.

👏 Strong and unequivocal statement from Liberal MP Will Greaves: “Canada cannot endorse the unilateral and illegal use of military force…”

More than 13 years after one pipe layer was killed and another injured while replacing a Burnaby storm sewer, their employer is in court for a sentencing hearing. #bclab

BC Crown seeks $1 million penalty after court finds employer guilty of criminal negligence for one worker death & a serious injury to another worker, arguing “If financial discomfort was a bar to large fines, deterrence would collapse.” Report by @isaacphannay.bsky.social. thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

End of an era @seantucker.bsky.social www.dignitymemorial.com/en-ca/obitua...

First hour of CBC Radio’s “Just Asking” (re: US-Israel attacks on Iran) and not one question about international law 🤷

Mark Carney: "Every day we're reminded...that the rules based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must."

When the US illegally invades Canada and takes control over our resources, will the Canadian government also be so enthusiastic?

The Government of Canada enthusiastically supports the illegal US-led attack on Iran and with it the sundering of international law.

For years, contract workers at SFU have complained of bullying & harassment and workload issues. One janitor even died on the job. Despite organized advocacy from SFU faculty and staff to bring the workers in-house, nothing has changed. @isaacphannay.bsky.social reports thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

The Liberal government of NB is proposing to sabotage our thriving higher ed sector. It's hard to tell if this is incompetence, malice, or neoliberal disaster capitalism. Regardless, it's not too late to turn back. @kristiallain.bsky.social and I explain for @canadiandimension.bsky.social.

Powerful, relevant and timely read.

I wrote an essay about how it feels to be a historian at this particular point in history everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2026/02/13/o...

Sad news to share. Angelo Tosi (Tosi & Co. est. 1906) has passed at the age of 93. An institution in Vancouver's Chinatown. Angelo will be missed. I'll post more photos later today. @thetyee.ca

So let’s say you have gotten AI to fake your education, fake your job, fake your romantic life, fake your art, fake your entertainment, fake your dead relatives, what are you spending your time doing? Post-human life seems pointless.

Two great 🇨🇦 teams ❤️

Incredible game. 3 on 3 is no way to settle a gold medal game.

Great game so far. Go 🇨🇦

The ICC filing vs. the FIFA and UEFA Presidents is an opportunity to prove that international law still exists—and that collaborators in Israel’s grievous crimes will actually be held to account. This complaint must just be the beginning. We explain for @aljazeera.com.

An immigration judge has blocked the Trump administration from deporting Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia University graduate and green card holder who was detained last April after becoming a prominent critic of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/2/20/mohsen_mahdawi

Nearly one year after the Columbia University student's arrest, an immigration judge has blocked the Trump administration from deporting Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi.

Catastrophic higher education news in New Brunswick: the Liberal government of my MLA @susanholtnb.bsky.social is potentially going to cut 10% of the budget for universities—$50M across 4 schools when much *more* funding is needed, not less. The impact would be devastating. Please share, NBers.

Go big or go home

Incredible victory! After years of organizing across Canada, Scotia Bank has divested from Elbit Systems! Elbit is Israel's largest weapons company, arming the occupation and genocide of Palestine. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Anita Anand tells Nick Schifrin: “🇨🇦 is a country that is rules-based & advances rules-based multilateralism” and is “pragmatic & principled.” Yes, we opened a consulate in 🇬🇱 but we enable 🇮🇱 impunity, turn our back on 🇨🇺 and celebrate collaborating with 🇮🇱 on AI & security 🤷

Orwellian

I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.

Propaganda 😱

Rep. Mark Alford (R-TX) revealed that House Republicans are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show because they suspect it was "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction.

Many Canadians are horrified about Israel's use of AI in the Gaza genocide. Please share your country's "lessons" with the ICC and ICJ.

Why are Canada's ambassador to Israel, Leslie Scanlon, and AI Minister Evan Solomon so enthusiastic about collaborating with Israel on AI and security?

👏 Appreciate this statement from MP and UVic professor @wgreaves.bsky.social in support of study visas for graduate students in Gaza. Hope to see a pathway open up in the near future for these incredible scholars!

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

@smohyeddin.bsky.social's interview with Rana Abdullah about the decade long struggle to establish an exhibit about the Nakba at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg. Worth a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2gG...

New from me: More Than 100 Gazans Have Been Accepted to Canadian Universities. Canada Isn’t Letting Them In.

A former OneBC staffer previously participated in a Spaces call with the leaders of white nationalist/"Canadian nationalist" organizations. They talked about deporting 10 million people and joked about throwing "millions of Punjabis" into the sea. 1/3 thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Community order of Palestine Medjoul dates ❤️ palestinejusttrade.ca/medjool-date...

There are 130 Palestinian students who have been accepted into Canadian universities — but unlike other countries, Canada is doing nothing (or worse) to help them get here. Advocates issued a fresh warning this week: these delays can be deadly.
