All Canadians should be concerned.

Explainer on #Sudan, #Darfur, aimed principally at a 🇨🇦 audience. Streit, arms sales, the UAE...and why nobody will take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAKI...

Where and when is the talk?!

🇨🇦 aid cuts: "By weakening health systems in fragile countries worldwide, the Canadian cuts will heighten the risk of another pandemic, while also damaging the chances of building the global stability that would boost Canadian trade" www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Dr. Giulia Chiopris, MSF Pediatrician, is in #Tawila #Sudan where our teams are receiving people fleeing El Fasher with gunshot wounds and severe malnutrition. She shares her firsthand account on the crisis and the stories of patients fleeing #ElFasher

🚨🎙️A new Secure Line podcast is out! This week, we speak with @cathmckenna.bsky.social about her time in politics, the Ottawa convoy, and threats to public officials. Have a listen! Available on YouTube, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. youtu.be/DySy9zY30dU?...

This budget hurts people. 40,000 jobs cut. Services cut. Indigenous services gutted. Nothing for the environment. But American big-tech billionaires? They get tax breaks. We can still fix this. Mark Carney can still amend this budget and choose fairness.

From one of Canada’s former diplomats in Sudan, South Sudan, Pakistan, South Africa, Colombia, and Mexico. Me, I’m buying, natch.

Canada's 2025 budget: ✅ invests in housing and infrastructure and promises to strengthen some climate regulations 😡 creates new LNG subsidies and doubles down on oil-and-gas handouts 🤡 completely ghosts nature funding. Not the clear vision an "investment budget" demands.

Nooooo.... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Terrible. If I remember correctly from reading @sallyhayd.bsky.social’s ”My fourth time, we drowned’, Doctors Without Borders was one of few organisations that managed to do meaningful work for refugees in Libya. @nikolajnielsen.bsky.social @euobserver.com euobserver.com/migration/ar...

There was enormous attention on Doug Ford's World Series Ad. Much less attention on his CDN ad. Doug is promising to rip up "red tape" to get at the Ring of Fire ore bodies. People in the region have gone 30 years without drinking water. He refuses to meet them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb5-...

Coming up on Monday in Ottawa, 🇨🇦. The House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development holds a hearing on #Sudan. Anyone can tune in. www.ourcommons.ca/committees/e...

This is reprehensible from the @iom.int

A blunt statement from 🇨🇦's opposition NDP, calling for more robust Canadian action on #Sudan, especially wrt ostensible sanctions-busting by Cdn-owned Streit (armoured car manufacturer). heathermcpherson.ndp.ca/news/heather...

Unbelievable! Canadian rifles used by Putin’s soldiers! New Democrats have been warning for years that loopholes in Canada’s arms export & sanctions regimes are making Canada complicit in arming regimes who commit grave human rights abuses & break international law. globalnews.ca/news/1148500...

Don’t ghost nature this season! Tell the feds Canada’s budget must protect nature – not cut it out. 👉 dsfdn.org/DontGhostNat...

🇨🇦 and #Darfur: we can do (a lot) better. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

This sounds like a Secure Line podcast @stephaniecarvin.bsky.social @leahwest-nsl.bsky.social @jessmarindavis.bsky.social

Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria. A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help. We will be sharing their story. @meidastouch.com

Danielle Smith says MORE bitumen is needed for roads globally, but bitumen-free asphalt can be made using alternative bio-binders mixed with aggregates or used asphalt or by heating household waste or used motor oil (pyrolysis). #sustainability

There is no legal, safe way to safety. There needs to be.

Malaria will not be far behind...😞

Did you know Canada's electricity grid is more interconnected with the United States than each other? That's one of the reasons why our coalition is calling for federal leadership to green‑light the East–West electricity grid — linking renewable power across provinces and territories. 📢 #CleanEnergy

#winning! ⚖️ The civil court in Agrigento has ruled in our favor: The detention of our ship Aurora in July 2025 was illegal. Our actions were necessary to protect human lives. Read more about the detention 👉 sea-watch.org/en/sea-watch...

The @meidascanada.ca townhall in Peterborough was electric. Sold out event discussing building resistance at the local level. Now heading to BC. Oct 22 - Roberts Creek Sunshine Coast Oct 24- keynote address at Indigenous education forum (Langley BC) Oct 25- Victoria townhall @meidastouch.com

No matter how you dress it up, it is a swasticar. 🤮

#Gaza: Doctors without Borders is deeply disappointed that Dr Mohammed Obeid, a respected orthopaedic surgeon, and long-time MSF colleague, remains detained and was not released as part of the recent #ceasefire agreement. We call for his immediate and unconditional release.

Canadians should read this.

Another shipwreck in the Mediterranean. Italy and Malta knew about the boat since yesterday afternoon, thanks to @alarmphone.bsky.social, but did not send help until it was too late. Of the ~35 people on board, only 11 were rescued in Lampedusa [1/2].

Today, activists and migration, human rights and sea rescue organisations, including @refugeesinlibya.bsky.social  gathered in Piazza Navona in Rome, to raise voices and demand to STOP the Memorandum of Understanding between Italy and Libya, and to stop violence against people on the move.

We're told repeatedly that the world is focused on Gaza and Ukraine and cannot pay attention to Sudan, South Sudan, Nigeria... It seems world leaders have limited ability to multitask. 💔

This is not acceptable. @italymfa.bsky.social , why did these people have to suffer for so long? Why were we not given a closer port? Medical emergencies need immediate care, not five more days at sea.

Um...how does this impact a new pipeline to increase bitumen production in Canada? @juliedabrusin.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social

The @empirepoduk.bsky.social not only recommends excellent books, but also famous and interesting places. I often pause listening to note places on a map for future travel. Waiting for travel book by @anitaanand.bsky.social and @willdalrymple.bsky.social

Toronto Blue Jays should organize events for fans in Vancouver, Canada - a 3 hour drive, ferry ride or train. Sovereignty matters. Tariff Tyranny. #elbowsup

Adam Zivo and Brian Lilley have no idea what they are speculating about. msf-crash.org/fr/le-crash-...

🚨Breaking: our fears became true. Yesterday, three people were shot by Libyan militias, one of them is in a coma. The so-called Libyan coastguard is financed and trained by the EU. We hope strongly that everyone will survive. More info:

I have sent this to my sailing network. Have you?

Good read, as usual, from @thenarwhal.ca What is @mark-carney.bsky.social doing about the “tragedy of the horizon”? Canada won’t meet 2030 targets and could “lock in emissions-intensive growth for years” Are his most significant climate actions yet to come? thenarwhal.ca/mark-carney-...

Shame on @ec.europa.eu: Stop funding, equipping, and training the Libyan militias! They force people into torture, they shoot at rescue ships – and the EU enables it.

Wow! Where else will @kenroth.bsky.social be speaking?! I want my own signed copy!

Jason Nickerson has been an absolute champion and unwavering advocate for human rights, international law, and the protection of all people. I have learned so much from him and count him as one of my dear friends. Thank you for your work, your voice, and your humanity @jwnickerson.bsky.social.

Working in medical humanitarian assistance, as in healthcare more generally, is deeply personal work. Working for an organization made up of thousands of people that work to alleviate suffering and restore dignity amidst chaos and inhumanity is a remarkable thing.

The federal government is trying to have a lawsuit over biological experiments on Inuit dismissed over technicality, according to the lawyer representing the plaintiffs.

The fall out of Carney's latest visit with Trump: After bragging about Canada joining the US, Trump made it clear he is determined to destroy our autoworkers and steelworkers. But Danielle Smith and the planet burners are over the moon. They say this is "love language."

Pope Leo is spitting. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

#Sudan: "In a conflict that has already seen both sides commit numerous war crimes... the apparent use of a common industrial chemical as a weapon creates a disturbing precedent." www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

This is unconscionable 💔
