And worse: hundreds of civilians have already been killed in the all-out bombardment of dense urban areas like Tehran.
Musing about sending Canadians to fight and die in this carnage is unreal. You’re talking about Canadians being asked to participate in likely war crimes.
No one voted for this!
1/ PM Carney: you can and must categorically rule out participation in this illegal war.
Your unqualified support of Trump and Netanyahu’s war was bad enough. It’s unconscionable that you’re now considering putting Canadian forces in harm’s way.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"
Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.
The idea of bombing children as a form of “self-defense” is nonsensical and grotesque, but nonetheless it’s the argument the U.S. and Israel have been relying on for years and years. It shouldn’t be hard to take a stance against slaughtering children

The US and Israel slaughter over 50 children in a single night and play pretend that they're the good guys.
Canada embarrasses itself to be available to get whatever scraps of war crimes it can
There is always more, and it's always worse.

FACT CHECK: No, Pierre Poilievre.
This man isn’t facing a $750,000 fine for simply saying ‘there are two genders.’
Once you read the actual B.C. Human Rights Tribunal decision, you might find Poilievre’s defence of this “truth” and “free speech” chilling and, well, indefensible:

At the debate, @avilewis.ca said that if the NDP holds the balance of power, the demand should be changing the electoral system.
Thank you for raising it. 36% of the vote should not mean absolute power. Proportional representation fixes that.

Boycotts work.
It's why we're told they don't work and that people with a platform "shouldn't be political" yet if enough people are the world can change
100% - the fastest way to disabuse yourself of the notion that AI is all-knowing is to ask it about stuff you actually know. Even your favourite video game. Ask for instructions on a multi-step quest and watch it be, like, ~60% correct, but wrong in ways that render the answer generally unhelpful

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.
I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

We shouldn't be gloating about Polievre staying on. The CPC made big gains last year, and the economy only going to get worse in the short term. He could absolutely win under the right conditions, imo. Don't get complacent.
Remember: Dems gloated like crazy about Trump winning the primary in 2016
We can't lecture the world about shredding the international rules-based order and then pal around with the people who have been shredding it before our very eyes for the last 2 years - not to mention all the decades of occupation and apartheid that preceded this horrific moment.

The memories of Alex Pretti and Renee Good deserve to be uplifted. So does Keith Porter and all the Black, Latino and Asian people dead at the hands of ICE/CBP. Naomi Bethune writes about these differences in attention.

A Canadian-made armoured vehicle was spotted on Minneapolis streets the day ICE murdered Alex Pretti.
The company that sold ICE that monster as part of a $10 million deal? Roshel.
What’s more:
Canada’s government brought Roshel’s CEO on a trade mission SIX DAYS AFTER Renee Good was murdered.
Skupin made a statement from prison?

Following this exclusive (and excellent) piece from David, I've contacted the federal government to ask if they intend to continue subsidizing JSI Telecom in the future.
I've also contacted JSI Telecom for comment, adding them to the list of Canadian businesses working with ICE who I've contacted.
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Aaron Parnas writes: “BREAKING: Another ICE involved shooting just happened minutes ago in Minneapolis per someone I spoke to on the ground. Details are limited right now.”
Message to fellow journalists (and anyone claiming to be one): do not “police-involved shooting” executions in broad daylight.
Obfuscating language like that is completely journalistically unnecessary and, even worse, sanitizes reality.
Words have meaning. Use the right ones.
