Today & every day until Canada implements a full two-way arms embargo against apartheid Israel:
#ArmsEmbargoNow armsembargonow.ca
Israel is massacring Palestinians in schools. Canada is still arming Israel.
On Aug 20 we are flooding our MPs inboxes, voicemails and socials to demand they end the Canada-Israel arms trade and endorse the call for an #ArmsEmbargoNow.

Flavio Bolsonaro mocked Brazilian President Lula's missing finger during their final election debate, saying he gives Brazilians with one hand but “takes away with nine fingers.”
Lula: He called me "nine fingers." If there's anyone who knows what the world of work is like, it's me. I worked at night, even when I wasn't supposed to be working.
I will not allow a militiaman to call me "nine fingers!" He has never worked a day in his life. He doesn't know what an employment record book is.
His first job was fake, working for his father. And now he comes and calls me "nine fingers?"

I was on a call the other night with someone in the West Bank just before Israel forced hundreds out of their homes in Hebron.
It's not hard to make direct contacts with people in the West Bank. Hear for yourself what life under Israeli occupation is.

Reunited with @BenNephrology ❤️🔥
So very grateful for my fellow medical colleagues who speak truth to power, and know their work extends beyond the clinic or hospital to advocate for human rights for all peoples without exception. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

There won’t be a peep of criticism of these atrocities from Canadian Prime Minister @MarkJCarney or his soul-less Foreign Minister @AnitaAnandMP. They’re too busy writing Carney’s acceptance speech for Time’s Person of the Year award.

At least $50 billion for another pipeline.
$82 billion in new military spending in 5 years.
$300 billion in corporate welfare and mega incentives at an investment summit.
But the cupboard is bare for Parks Canada. Despite the heroic efforts of the @psac_afpc workers who'll remain, camping will be chaos next summer.
If you’re not a big corporation or foreign investor, you might just be invisible to this government.
2,671 PSAC members at Parks Canada received notice this week that their positions may be cut. These cuts put our environment, natural and cultural heritage, parks, and national historic sites at risk.

If you know the twenty-year history of BDS motions on campus in Canada, or the twenty-five-year history of Ontario institutions struggling to signing onto the BDS campaign, you know how much of a culture shift this is. The Zionists have lost their grip.

Christianity was used as a pretext for empire — slavery and indigenous slaughter — for centuries. Now imperial Israel has become the galvanizing force for empire.

Where is Nidal? Nidal al-Wahidi ran towards the wall where Hamas broke through on Oct. 7, 2023, armed with his camera.

B'nai Brith dropped their vexatious lawsuit against me for defamation because I wrote in the Hamilton Spectator that they are a racist anti-Palestinian hate organization when my lawyer informed them that my defense would be that it is true.
That was the end of the suit.
