Ikea launches its first book, and it's in Spanish. Too funny!

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... Just a little legal sanity, and humanity. #Free #Palestine No to #genocide

www.cbc.ca/news/politic... How about #Alberta #separatists who want to leave #Canada and join the #US do just that? It's a short bus ride south. They can renounce their Canadian citizenship on the way out. then enjoy for-profit healthcare, guns, guns, guns, ICE hunting them down, and bad spelling.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Read this through. Good for #Manitoba Good for Wab #Kinew. A small step, but it's in the right direction. Thank you, Katie Pederson and #CBC.

www.bbc.com/news/article... Relief that it's done, anger that it even happened. #Greece #ERCI #Lesbos #Mardini #Binder

Since #Minneapolis and #Minnesota are getting so much grief from the current US administration, maybe they'd like to join #Canada as our #11th province. Conditions apply, though: Please and thank you (we're Canadian, can't help ourselves), free healthcare, free education, no guns.

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are experiencing the highest rates of settler and state violence in recent history, as the Israeli government enacts new policies to accelerate the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and apartheid.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j... Bet you didn't know this. #elbowsup #Canada

“Let’s not call it deregistration, let’s call it a death sentence  —  that is exactly what it would be for the Palestinian people,” says @sana.msf.ca, MSF Executive Director, as Israel moves to bar nearly 40 aid groups under new registration rules. montrealgazette.com/news/local-n...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Thank you once again for another thoughtful article. @naomiaklein.bsky.social .

ottawacitizen.com/public-servi... #ElbowsUp, #Canada! Even Lt-General #Blondin, who recommended the #F-35, now says it's a mistake. Buy the #Gripen. We need a plane we can count on.

www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11... What are we afraid of that we detain a #UN special rapporteur? We are afraid that the #Gaza tribunal will show that #Canada is complicit in #genocide. #Palestine #Israel

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n... The #Gaza ghetto just got smaller, the #genocide continues.

montrealserai.com/article/blam... I am honoured that Montréal Serai has published these two poems. #MontréalSerai #FreePalestine #poetry

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... It does make sense to equip our military with weapons not controlled by a hostile nation threatening to invade us. #gripen #canada #sweden #saab

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... Does #Qatar have the right to defend itself? Or are such rights reserved for #Israel only?

A new aid flotilla bound for Gaza set sail from Genoa yesterday, with a dockworker warning that if communication with the flotilla is lost, port workers would immediately block all shipments to Israel.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... A rare bit of good news. #Unifor #Amazon

www.theguardian.com/world/live/2... @theguardian.com It's not a "war". Headline should read "Netanyahu meets cabinet to decide next phase of #genocide in #Gaza".

While #Israel starves #Gaza:

www.cbc.ca/news/politic... "Canadian governments previously said they would acknowledge a Palestinian state only after a negotiated peace agreement between Israel and Palestinian leadership." Seems that this says: Canada will recognize #Palestine after #Israel does. Not helping stop the #genocide.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j... Well, let's hope #France does finally recognize #Palestine, and let's hope it does some good. And, by the way, Mr. #Carney, where's #Canada? Still afraid to do the right thing as opposed to just saying the right thing?

www.theguardian.com/global-devel... In case you still had doubts, #Gaza is a death camp. Stop the #genocide.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Bravo #Mexico!

www.972mag.com/uk-idf-music... Thank you @emhilton.bsky.social & @972mag.com for this well-reasoned and thoughtful essay: #FreePalestine ≠ #antisemitism.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j... Let's see how this plays out: #Canada apologizes to the #bully stamping on our face and we expect better terms from the bully.

www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-... Good on @theguardian.com for reporting on this. Shame on #KeirStarmer and your government. You are complicit in the #genocide in #Gaza.

www.rte.ie/news/middle-... Do these #children have the right to defend themselves? Stop the #genocide in #Gaza. @news.rte.ie

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Got my vote with "running to improve city services — from overflowing garbage in city parks to crumbling sidewalks — and to make transit a first choice, not a last option. #Ottawa #JeffLeiper

www.cbc.ca/news/politic... Shame #CPP! Bring the money home. Invest in #Canada, not in an enemy that wants to invade us.

With Iran war as pretext, Israel suffocates the West Bank After striking Tehran, the army closed hundreds of gates to seal Palestinians inside towns and strand them on roads — proof of annexation in all but name. Shatha Yaish reports from the West Bank www.972mag.com/west-bank-lo...

www.cbc.ca/news/politic... A condemnation to wear with pride, but so little on the face of so many crimes. Stop the #genocide in #Gaza!
