To my Canadian colleagues: you should know that a key component of what the US is doing right now involves purging scientists & research programs for ideological impurity & (illegally) reclaiming their funds.

If you donโ€™t want a repeat of what happened down south here in Canada, PP is not your guy

Just when you think she canโ€™t sink any lower, Danielle Smith goes again on far-right American radio, this time to push the US to interfere in our election because Poilievre would be โ€œvery much in syncโ€ with Trump.

Conservatives: in it for a win, but not in it for Canada.

Letโ€™s make sure they lose.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.

Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

I donโ€™t understand how anyone could think Rustad is a moderating influence. Just to add to the list: Rustad himself is a climate change denialist, and he supported another BCC candidate in an effort to overturn the election results. Not to mention people like Brent Chapman are still in that party.

I have this book on my to read list! Looking forward to reading it. Iโ€™ve read Yellowface and itโ€™s one of my favourite books. The narrator is SO insufferable, and the book addresses important issues relating to racism, cultural appropriation, and plagiarism.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.

If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

Canโ€™t wear a pin. Canโ€™t show a watermelon. Canโ€™t wear a keffiyeh. Canโ€™t say โ€œFree Palestine.โ€ Canโ€™t say โ€œfrom the river to the seaโ€ (unless youโ€™re Israeli). Canโ€™t sign cease fire petitions. Canโ€™t support peaceful boycott, divestment or sanctions. Canโ€™t say genocide.
