Heat advisories hit hardest when you have nowhere cool to go This Canada Day, we're thinking about everyone without stable housing in Ward 13. We need more homes, fewer vacancies, real cooling access, and clear reporting standards. Safe streets and human dignity are what I will support #Forward13

I’m running again for Ward 13 because I believe in a more affordable, accessible downtown. I’ve advanced housing and vacancy solutions, and I’ll keep pushing for results with transparency. Downtown drives London forward: let’s build on that momentum for London and #forward13

The UK is preparing to spend nearly £300 BILLION on its military while public services continue to face cuts and difficult choices.

UK independent media outlet, the Canary, has been debanked by Lloyds with no explanation, but the reason is clearly the usual one. "We debunk, they debank -- all hail Israel." This is the first salvo from the Ministry of Culture in defense of the Canary.

UK independent media outlet, the Canary, does great work. They have reporters in war zones currently, among other places. Lloyds has just frozen their bank account with no explanation. They are requesting donations through other channels. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

100% agreed @charlieangus104.bsky.social Anyone left at the israeli embassy should be charged with complicity in #WarCrimes. And of course we also need an #ArmsEmbargoNow! armsembargonow.ca

I can’t believe it’s been three years since I graduated from my masters of public health degree, where I studied health inequities and colonialism as a structural determinant of health.

The exhibit titled, “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present” at the Canadian human rights museum in Winnipeg opens tonight. The online exhibit is now live for viewing: humanrights.ca/exhibition/p...

“It ensures that Palestinian voices, memories, and truths are acknowledged within Canada’s broader human rights narrative.”

“Its impact continues to shape generations, families, and lived experiences around the world. Having this story recognized in a national human rights museum is not only long overdue, but essential.”

Honoured to be in Winnipeg for the opening of the “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present” exhibit at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

I have been reflecting on the opening of the exhibit, “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present”, at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is hard to fully put into words my reflections, but I will try. My reflections: yipeng.ca/2026/06/28/t...

In recent weeks many of my videos have been getting especially inundated with vile insults from paid troll farms, of a distinctly pro-Trump, pro-billionaire, anti-immigrant, anti-left/liberal variety. A lot of people waste their time arguing with them, which is sad.

Cut off U.S. military aid to Israel. Stop treating leverage like a theory while the weapons keep moving. Washington can help end the war or keep paying for it. responsiblestatecraft.org/us-military-...
