A) Never forget the Palestinians. B) All oppressions are linked. C) Colonialism is an ongoing atrocity. D) Race and caste are not biological realities. E) Unfettered capitalism will be the death of us all.

If ever you want to see blatant bias by the proponents of “objectivity” in media, compare how quickly they ran with the 40 beheaded Israeli babies hoax without fact checking and the ongoing bare minimum acknowledgment of the deaths of 20,000 Palestinian children.

The ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant are binding, meaning its 124 member states including Canada are obligated to arrest the suspects should they come here and transfer them to the Court. While a trial may never become reality, the ICC warrants are hugely symbolic of the demand for justice

The choice in groceries boils down to whether we want food grown by workers exploited by Canadian companies or American companies. Companies and exploitation being the common point I hope more of us see how impossibly unjust the system is that we can’t easily make ethical choices.

Canada must not let fear of angering the U.S. stand in the way of protecting human rights. This Maple story shows why closing arms-export loopholes is urgent and long overdue. Lives depend on it. #cdnpoli #HumanRights #ArmsExport @mark-carney.bsky.social www.readthemaple.com/liberals-fea...

The sale of Canadian-made armoured vehicles to ICE is unacceptable. I’ve urged the government to shut down these export loopholes — and I welcome Lloyd Axworthy’s call echoing this demand. Canada’s foreign policy must reflect our human rights commitments. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

When Israel arbitrarily and consistently frames security interests ahead of human rights, we have an unacceptable backsliding on international human rights obligations.

I have written to Minister @anitaanand.bsky.social regarding the unacceptable denial of entry and mistreatment of a Canadian parliamentary delegation at the Allenby Crossing this past week. The conduct of Israeli border officials was wholly inconsistent with diplomatic norms.

Disturbingly, MP Iqra Khalid was reportedly verbally assaulted and physically shoved by officials who claimed they could touch her "as much as I want". This occurred despite the delegation having pre-approved visas and official parliamentary passports.

Other delegates were pressured under duress to sign forms accepting a characterization as "security risks" without being provided any factual reasoning. This blanket denial of 30 Canadians undermines claims of individualized assessments.

I am calling on the Minister to summon the Israeli Ambassador and demand a formal written explanation. Anything less risks normalizing the mistreatment of Canadian parliamentarians and citizens abroad.

"[M]onetized the dysfunction" is a good way to describe the American health care system too.

Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."
