No New Action from Canada as Israel Starves Gaza Forced starvation is widespread in Gaza and the death toll is rising, caused by Israel withholding food at the border. Still, Canada maintains a free trade agreement with Israel…

"Despite the pressure, the government of Canada still refuses to act while Israel starves Palestinians to death and ample food sits nearby." - @dgrdon.bsky.social

Why is the Israeli military still recruiting in Canada? There’s a Canadian law that makes it illegal for the armed forces of any foreign state to recruit soldiers within our borders, but you’d never know it the way Israel and its supporters operate within ...

Canada’s Foreign Enlistment Act makes it illegal to recruit for foreign armies on Canadian soil, yet Israeli military recruitment has taken place here for generations, often in plain sight. The law is clear. The political will to enforce it is not.

This month, I have notes on the Aesthetics of Resistance (book), the aesthetics of resistance (generally speaking), behind the scenes work, and some “from the archives” art made for shelter hotel organizing

The Giller Prize and the ‘Indigo 11’ We cannot afford to treat the role art has in “politics” as some abstract or existential dilemma. In Toronto, the delegitimization of Palestinian and pro-Palestinian speech has taken on many forms, in...

last October, I wrote about the ways the Giller Prize and Indigo Books have suppressed pro-Palestinian speech in and outside our industry. this includes the role they've played in propping up criminal charges against activists and organizers

we're talking about a literary prize that benefits a small sliver of authors once a year, and a gala that benefits no one except the person in charge of booking the conference room at the Four Seasons. if people truly believe this is some load-bearing pillar of Canlit, we're fucked

you'd either have to have no soul or no brain to characterize the Giller Prize's *hypothetical* demise as a "casualty" in the context of an ongoing genocide

Check out my @undertheradar.bsky.social review of @michaeldeforge.bsky.social’s great new graphic novel, Holy Lacrimony, from @dandq.bsky.social: www.undertheradarmag.com/reviews/holy...

in Toronto, an astroturfed business lobby can run an inept public messaging campaign, unite an entire neighbourhood against it, make itself the source of citywide ridicule, and still succeed. we can't even get some rinky dink shit like bus lanes man, this city's going to hell

Smears against Zohran are only gonna get more weird. NYT’s editorial board is brainstorming new ways to be racist, and reviving obscure, outdated ways of being racist

Canada Authorized $37.2 Million In New Military Exports To Israel Global Affairs insists it hasn’t authorized exports that could be used in Gaza, but won’t say if this policy applies to Israel’s other conflicts.

NEW: Canada Authorized $37.2 Million In New Military Export Permits To Israel This Year.

Global Affairs insists it hasn’t authorized new exports that could be used in Gaza, but won’t say if this policy applies to Israel’s other conflicts. www.readthemaple.com/canada-autho...

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

The right in power is talking about denaturalizing and deporting Zohran and their only opposition in the center right, both in govt and media, are spending this time arguing that he is dangerous and demanding he renounce a statement he never made
