It’s always interesting when politicians say hate and violence have no place in this country. It was founded on those principles.

If you've ever had to try and address anti-Palestinian racism/Islamophobia in your circle of family or friends, it was probably an uncomfortable conversation. This FREE workshop this Saturday from SURJ Vancouver will talk about all of that! Consider attending and/or spreading the word!

From April 15th to June 15th, all across Canada, Labour for Palestine chapters are fundraising to help workers in Palestine. Help spread the word about our efforts to fund liberation, not occupation!!! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 youtu.be/chSa9yaU9ns?...

I urge you to view the entire press conference on @cpac.ca www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

International journalists can’t enter Gaza. But healthcare workers can. That makes their testimony vital. They can cut through to the reality of the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza. In today’s video, you’ll hear their firsthand accounts of witnessing a genocide:

Dire prediction: whatever "coNcREtE acTiONs" are, they will be only after Gaza is almost/fully ethnically cleansed. Change my mind, please prove me wrong.

The rebrand of the Conservatives as working class champions, which paid off in this election, was years in the making. In an excerpt from his new book, Martin Lukacs writes that it was a cynical but compelling charade—and took advantage of a vacuum left by the NDP. breachmedia.ca/how-pierre-p...

“The world cannot silently just watch while this humanitarian crisis is happening & this siege is also, of course, a continuation of many, many decades of illegal occupation.” Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg explains how Israel bombed a Gaza Aid ship w/ drones w/ humanitarian volunteers on board.

Our next in person meeting is this coming Tues night, 7pm at 706 Clark Drive! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

And Jagmeet loosing his seat is far more significant than PP loosing his. In broader context, the former is a repudiation of NDP, but PP's seat loss is not the same reflection on his lack of appeal or party popularity. While satisfying, I don't think PP's seat loss is that symbolic of a Tory loss.

Yes, I'm relieved that it's not Poilievre as PM and I'm glad he lost his seat. But beyond that, we're not in a very good place overall. The major rightward shift isn't going to be good, especially when the Liberals eventually lose to the Conservatives.

This is sweet yummy irony...but, a bigger douchecanoe in Aaron Gunn more than takes his place. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Jagmeet was going regardless after this election, but this is quite a low point to go out on. He was able to extract some good concessions from the Libs, but oversaw a consistent decline for the party that will take a lot of work to rebuild.

On National Day of Mourning, we gather in solitude, grief, and in solidarity to remember every worker who has been killed, injured, or made ill on the job. We refuse to let the deaths & suffering of workers be met with silence. Read full statement: ofl.ca/national-day... #DayofMourning #CdnPoli

Starting soon!!! @1pm at Thornton Park. Annual Day of Mourning for Workers killed on the job. When bosses lose, they're in the red, when worker's lose, we end up dead. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Tonight!!! Community walk and vigil tonight to support and honour those impacted by the Lapu-Lapu festival events. Meet at Sir Alexander MacKenzie School @6:30pm

Votepalestine.ca has been working hard to make Palestine an election issue. It features 350+ candidates who have endorsed the platform. Through omission, it also tracks the others who have chosen to stay silent. Our latest article 👇 👇 bpofdisruption.substack.com/p/vote-pales...

pretty fcked that Canadian racist care economy is largely built on Filipina labour - from domestic work to nursing - and that after the tragedy it's mostly Filipinas in healthcare and community networks doing carrying care work. (Not a comment abt their immense care, but on our social structuring)

Stoking up fear in an exploitative fashion to try and drum up votes. 🤮🤬 This is so gross and let's hope it backfires on them. Just sick.

My heart goes out to all affected in Vancouver, especially the Filipino community celebrating their Indigenous resistance. VPD needs to release details. “Thirty-year-old lone man” evokes a clear image anyway if you’ve been alive this century. (Yes, the fallout is political & the act was terrorism.)

No words to adequately express this horrible incident occurring a short time ago 💔😓💔😓

May Day! May Day! May Day! International Worker's Day is quickly approaching on May 1st! The VDLC is organizing a celebration at the Birdhouse @44 West 4th Ave 6pm till late! Come on out and meet your fellow workers!
