The gall of me trying to send a birthday card to someone in Russia. Completely unacceptable and impossible says the Canadian government, as they continue to support genocide in Gaza and every other orientalist violence.

🧵 Palantir just dropped a 22-point manifesto called "The Technological Republic." I went through every word. Some of it is thoughtful. A lot of it is alarming. All of it tells you exactly who Palantir is. Let's go through it together. 👇 #Palantir #TechPolicy #AIEthics #SiliconValley

The invitation for a public celebration in Kelowna of the anniversary of Israel declaring its "independence" has fighter jets on it. The invitation has fighter jets on it.

This a very dishonourable thing to do. Eby and his government failed so broadly to make DRIPA real, to map out the institutional changes required, and to educate and enlist the public in the work, it almost looks like intentional sabotage. Shameful. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

On a wartime footing: Carney’s new defence initiatives risks corruption and global conflict #canpoli rabble.ca/politics/can...

Relative to the United States, Canada is often portrayed as polite and benevolent. In reality, Canada’s past and present are entrenched in colonial and imperialist conquest. Read Tara Al-Alami’s pertinent and timely reading list on Canada’s colonial role from Palestine to Haiti and beyond.

Incredible reporting from @davidpugliese.bsky.social on how an officer in a Ukrainian unit linked to neo-Nazi group received training in Canada. ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

Last week, @policyalternatives.ca put together an urgent call for Canada to tax the profits that the oil and gas industry is making off the war in Iran. Yesterday, the best Carney could do was removing tax on average people, further defunding the state. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

I am a family doctor and public health researcher, and I oppose Carney’s cruel cuts to refugee healthcare. I join healthcare workers in 9 cities across the country today to demand access to publicly funded universal healthcare for ALL regardless of status. #NoCutsToCare

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip "What we have here today is absolute solidarity on the part of First Nations and our allies who know how critical DRIPA is to the future of reconciliation in BC. It’s the only path forward." at press conference here in Vancouver.

First Nations leaders are condemning Premier David Eby’s plan to suspend parts of #DRIPA as a step backward that will increase uncertainty for all British Columbians and create political problems for the NDP. Andrew MacLeod reports. #bcpoli

The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it. It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within. www.middleeasteye.net/news/i-wishe...

I challenge Mark Carney to 1) name a Canadian Value without invoking hockey or donuts,

Israel government officials openly proclaiming their intent for Colonial expansion in the region, and Western Legacy Media is silent novaramedia.com/2026/04/10/i...

Iranian Synagogue 'Completely Destroyed,' Reportedly By US-Israeli Airstrike The representative for Iran's Jewish community in Parliament said Israel "showed no mercy... during the Jewish holidays and attacked one of our ancient and holy synagogues."

Where is smooth talking Carney right now? After his Davos speech you would think he would be leading the charge to prevent this. But what he called a rupture in the international order is just an intensification of Western avarice. And he is all for that.

NEW: 54% of Canadians agree with banning citizens from serving in the Israeli military, according to a poll commissioned by The Maple. www.readthemaple.com/54-of-canadi...

Iranian musician Ali Ghamsari has staged a sit-in outside the Damavand power plant in protest against US and Israeli threats to target vital infrastructure. Ghamsari said he would remain at the site and play music there in the hope of helping prevent attacks on Iran’s energy facilities.

Like clockwork.

Prime Minister Mark Carney jokingly says he ‘can outlast’ a mercury-affected Grassy woman calling for justice on decades of toxic dumping. Hear more on APTN News Brief:

The foundations of democratic institutions are high-quality public education and well-resourced public and independent media. It is no accident that they are the primary targets of authoritarians in populist guise. 1/ canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

Beyond consolidating support within the NDP itself, Avi Lewis can occupy the wide space on the left that the Carney government has opened as it has shifted rightward in adopting key planks of the Conservative platform, says former CUPE National President Paul Moist.

Explain to me again why there are not thousands of people encircling the White House refusing to leave until the pedophile and warmonger Trump ends these horrific attacks and resigns?

Some of the “military targets” the US/Israel hit in Iran in the last day: a university science building, homes, K-12 schools

At least 26 people were killed following a U.S.–Israeli airstrike on a residential area in the central Iranian city of Isfahan.

Carney is moving us closer and closer to the MAGA US, the exact opposite of what we were promised. He's not acting in the interest of our sovereignty. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Here is my latest! It's my parting shot as the NDP heads towards convention. It isn't what a lot of folks are going to want to read but alas, that's why so many people in the NDP hate me! But hey, you can hate, or you can take the criticism and use it. noraloreto.substack.com/p/the-elepha...

Canada's foreign policy in the Middle East amounts to saying if Israel even imagines it could be attacked, it's perfectly justified in not only retaliating but doing preemptive strikes. If Iran is attacked, it should just accept that, and if it defends itself it should be further punished.
