Masked Israeli settlers torch property, injure four Palestinians, army says reut.rs/4qZz7gy

We need a national moment when everyone can scream all they like about Trudeau's immigration policies so we can get it out of our systems and get over it. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

At this point I'm just restoring tabs out of spite.

Striking to mark the horrors of war when, as a country, we put more money toward the waging of (or preparing for) war.

The previously unreported intelligence pointed to doubts within the Israeli military about the legality of its tactics that contrasted sharply with Israel’s public stance defending its actions. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Floors me every time.

Here is a working link to the original Poppy File map, which shows about 3,300 of Toronto's Second World War war dead at the household level. Click on a home to see details. The First World War map follows in the thread /1 t.co/4P9GUkl8m0

Canada has lost its measles elimination status - a harbinger, public health experts say, of outbreaks to come as vaccination rates slip. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Thrilled to be joining @ijbstories.bsky.social. Investigative journalism, active journalism, is more important than ever. Cannot wait to make some trouble with this small, mighty team.

It's that time of year when the biggest city in the country tells residents with limited mobility to just stay home for six months.

This is Canada's temporary foreign worker system in a nutshell. But making temporary residents pay more for health care really drives the sentiment home.

First snow snuffle

Israeli settlers attack Palestinians, journalists at West Bank olive harvest, witnesses say - www.reuters.com/world/middle...

We fail suicidal people in so many ways it is almost fitting we are driving them into the thrall of robots who urge on their self-inflicted death.

True to form I am killing my rosemary plant. What should I cook with it before it all browns?

Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians reach record number in October, U.N. says www.reuters.com/world/middle... via @michellenichols.bsky.social

It’s hard to overstate the scale of death in Darfur. “These are people being shot in the back and shot while they’re trying to escape. It’s as bad as it could possibly get,” a former Africa analyst for the C.I.A. said. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/qVoDbI

Can hear a cheese wrapper from a dozen metres away. Is gonna need you to repeat "Come" another seven times.

Founders of Vancouver’s Drug User Liberation Front Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalinin have just been found guilty of drug trafficking. Justice Murray rules CDSA exemption didn’t include procurement & distribution. “There is no doubt all of DULF’s actions were for one purpose.” @pressprogress.ca

Breaking: Alberta's police watchdog has cleared two RCMP officers who shot and killed a 15-year-old Indigenous boy in Wetaskiwin last year. ASIRT says Hoss Lightning was pointing a backpack at the officers, which they believed to contain a gun. It did not. edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/a...

This whole time I've been going to the wrong barbershop.

Finally got my iron levels high enough for Canadian Blood Services and I feel like a craftily doping Olympian.

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

For years Canada pointed to private refugee sponsorship as the future of resettlement - a model to be emulated elsewhere. Canada is cutting private refugee sponsorship by about 30%: www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...

form a callus against the dark.

Leaked footage of rape of a Palestinian detainee last year leads to legal repercussions - but not for those accused.

Ugh

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.

Cutting international aid (by $800M) makes sense in an austerity budget until you consider that unaddressed need fuels displacement, which fuels asylum-seeking, which Canada's government has been trying to deter. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Federal budget says this government is focused on protecting pharmacare - for diabetes meds and contraception, for three provinces and one territory? (Genuinely curious; have not seen a commitment to expansion)

Carney budget cuts temporary immigration - students and workers - by nearly 50%. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

Shout-out to the people getting in touch about their own struggles, about the struggles of people they love. Depression tells you to stop trying so their efforts are a testament to fortitude. They all deserve so much better than the status quo.

Police Tasered a woman, ran her over twice, then handcuffed her while yelling at her to stop resisting. Did not inform oversight body as injuries not deemed serious enough. www.thestar.com/news/gta/wat...
