Canada is using borders to police Palestine solidarity, with pro-Pal advocates increasingly facing interrogations, visa revocations, denials of entry.
Weaponisation of immigration law, surveillance powers & institutional pressure is becoming normalised.

While #Madleen must be released immediately, every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable.
#BreakingTheSiege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.

Israel has systematically blocked, looted, and bombed life-saving aid, deliberately murdering aid workers. The apartheid regime’s “Supreme Court” just ruled that this is acceptable.

🚨Live-streamed ethnic cleansing: Israeli occupation forces are forcing residents of northern #Gaza Strip to leave their homes and shelters and is carrying out mass arrests of Palestinian civilians.
♦️We have been for weeks warning of Israel’s Generals’ Plan, which is being currently executed for the 16th consecutive day. The plan is aimed at emptying northern Gaza Strip by imposing a strict siege and exterminating and starving the population to force them to leave southwards.

We've learned that taxpayers paid a legal bill of $4.3 MILLION for @Fordnation failed defence of the unconstitutional #Bill124.
That public money could have been better invested in health-care professionals, not wasted fighting them in court. #onpoli

I was just at a men's shelter Thurs in Toronto where 25+ men gathered around to talk about how they have been applying for job after job, travelling 2-3 hours out of the city for interviews, and nothing. Hard working people w experience, ready to work. Our Premier knows nothing.
Here's the video of the Premier telling healthy people in encampments and who are homeless to 'get off their A-S-S and start working' #onpoli
