More bullshit coverage from Canada's media. No genocide here. No mention of the indictments by the ICC. No mass starvation. This reads like a press release written by the Israeli lobby. Who knows? Maybe it was.

Why are the provinces and the Feds still using X/twitter as one of their main comms platforms? If we’re serious about bringing people together rather than fuelling an algorithm that tears people apart, should we continue to support that platform? Seems illogical at best.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.
