Our clinic has seen an increase of use of tear gas and pepper spray by the SPVM at peaceful protests. It has sadly become routine, particularly at protests by marginalized communities.

Nous souhaitons à tous les accusés du 9B une audience de détermination de la peine équitable lundi à la cour municipale de Montréal.

So many times it’s this— people pleading guilty for the sake of a plea deal or to get out of (at least here in Canada) provincial jails, which are dangerous, overcrowded institutions where folks facing bogus charges are forcibly mingled with folks on trial for murder and worse.

Ignoble! Les #prisons du Québec sont réputées des lieux violents de violation quotidienne de tous les droits humains. Perpétuer le mythe des détenu.e.s "gras durs" alors que les prisons débordent à 300% est un grave mensonge. #CSN défendez vos membres sans écraser ceux qui n'ont rien.

Full thread is interesting about litigation, law firms and paid hackers.

Les avocats du mouvement canadien et le mouvement lui-même doivent prendre de l'avance sur le programme autoritaire bien conçu, généralisé, organisé et ciblé visant à écraser la dissidence aux États-Unis et qui sera probablement mis en œuvre ici. La solidarité est essentielle.

Canada's movement lawyers and the movement itself must get ahead of the well-designed, widespread, organized and targeted authoritarian program to crush dissent in the US that will likely take hold here. Solidarity is key.

Yet another a state sanctioned kidnapping.
