So we have calls for inquiries into white supremacist activities in HPS, calls to end the criminalization of unhoused people, conerns over ever rising policing budgets, etc., etc. and they choose the new board member by......drawing names from a hat.

Genocide, authoritarian rule & far-right leaders weilding its permissions across sectors, while people die living outside. Policing & militarization increasing. The language of "safety" is weilded to justify violence toward those who suffer &/or resist. This has to be stopped.

Maybe you should not get to write your own report on a matter related to racism when you are currently be called to be independently investigated for potentially covering up racism internally.

There is too much power in the grip of too few. Many who did not even need to know basic things to get there or how to do anything in particular. Now, there is no way to hold them accountable. This entire context need to go.

The example being set, of punishing anyone who disagrees has proliferated already in places of work, school. Removing folks who speak out. Some were just waiting for the permission.

There should be an inquiry into pro-genocidal support at public institutions.

Racist, eugenic, colonial ideas are the basis of this hate fueled wrath. Nation building, on supremacist fabrications, and enforcing that project produce the violence and suffering we live in now. Dancing around it will change nothing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (FREDERICTON, August 18th, 2025) A group of 413 Canadian and Canadian-based scholars, athletes, sports journalists, and sports officials have signed a public letter calling on Tennis Canada to cancel the Davis Cup tournament with Israel this September in Halifax. Signatories include three United Nations Special Rapporteurs, four-time Olympian distance runner Mohammed Ahmed, two members of the Palestinian women’s soccer team who compete for York University, a former Canadian Olympic beach volleyball coach, sports journalists Shireen Ahmed and Ian Kennedy, public intellectuals and activists Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis and some of Canada’s most distinguished and internationally-recognized scholars. The letter is signed by prominent individuals from 46 different academic institutions in Canada, as well as by Canadians at prominent global institutions. One hundred and six of the signatories are based in Atlantic Canada, where the event is slated to occur. The call to cancel the Davis Cup event comes amidst rising condemnation of Israeli conduct in Gaza and the West Bank, which leading legal scholars, activists and human rights groups have described as a genocide. Given the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the letter says that allowing the competition to go ahead is “unconscionable” and calls on the Canadian government to prevent Canadian athletes from competing against Israeli athletes in all international sporting competitions. Despite Tennis Canada’s claims that the event isn’t political and is just about playing tennis, the letter states in part that Canada should follow the lead of other nations who “refuse to legitimize Israel’s crimes” by withdrawing from international sporting competition. “This includes Jordanian tennis player Abdellah Shelbayh, who recently withdrew from a tennis competition in Greece after being slated to play an Israeli athlete,” the letter says. The letter points to the use of sporting sanctions in South Africa as a meaningful …
“Given the ongoing genocide in Gaza…we call on Sport Canada and Tennis Canada to forbid Canadian athletes to compete against Israeli athletes at the Davis Cup and all other international events.”

Incel, white supremacist, eugenic, anti-trans, colonial logics masqerading as "liberty", "freedom", "inquiry" & some challenge to a fashioned threat of a great replacement, are still incel, white supremacist, eugenic, anti-trans, colonial logics & a vulgar epistemic fraudulence.

Statistics suggest downtown isn’t significantly more dangerous, but Hamilton’s core struggles to shake unsafe reputation
Increased police presence and crime data point to progress — but visible violence and stigma continue to hold the core back.
How do you write about "safety" & "dangerousness" while acknowledging that there isn't an increase in "violent crime", & not name the years of racialized folks saying that more police does not make us feel safer, & prejudiced ideas of danger are not about it either? 🤦🏾♂️

Police Cameras Non-Functional During Downtown Shooting, Inoperative for Years
A gunman opened fire at Hamilton's busiest intersection Friday afternoon, killing an innocent bystander metres from two police surveillance cameras that haven't worked in years.
The Hamilton Police cameras throughout Downtown Hamilton haven't been functioning for at least four years, police confirmed on Monday, despite signs posted throughout Downtown saying it is a police video surveillance area.
Friday's shooting happened directly below a camera. #HamOnt

Those who repeatedly dogwhistle & target racialized leaders who speak out on racism, call for equitable responses, condemn killing & death dealing, & ask for safety for everyone, are those who are & have always been dangerous racists.

Chasing people living outside a few or hundreds of meters over, over, & over again, via threats, tickets, notices, forced removal, destroying property, intimidation, is all more work, cost, waste, horror, violence & repugnance than just offering real housing & care. Disgusting.

You cannot solve supremacist problems with supremacy.
You cannot solve colonial capitalism with conquest & exploitation.
You cannot solve nationalism with nationalism.
& you will never stop war with war.

Burning wildfires, genocidal violence, mass racist deportations, people living outside being chased & persecuted, police brutality, warfare abound.
Take on what you can with those who care alongside you, and yes, it is all too much.

The deep racism within state advanced anti-immigrant violence is not a "distraction" from your "class" analysis, it is the omission that has rendered it ineffective.
