"We just wanted to protect the pines." 35 years on, powerful account from Katsi’tsakwas @EllenGabriel1 of the 1990 Siege of Kanehsatake and Kahnawake. ricochet.media/indigenous/lan…

🇨🇦 Section 35 of the 1982 Constitution Act “recognizes and affirms” existing Aboriginal & treaty rights. Indigenous Nations are rights‑holders, not mere stakeholders: governments must consult and often secure consent, before projects touch their lands.

Funny how respecting constitutionally‑protected treaty rights suddenly becomes a ‘5 % veto.’ It’s not a popularity contest, it’s the law—and it’s been on the books since 1763, 1870, and 1982. Maybe crack open the Constitution before blaming Grand Chief ‘Big Bad 5 %.

Global Affairs is considering "a range of options," such as doing nothing and saying nothing.

(Of course, if you're a public figure and you get exposed doing drugs, you'll face a bit of heat - at which point you'd consider hiring a reputation management & crisis comms firm like the one Amanda runs)

Fear of drugs is used as a cudgel against poor people and the programs designed to support them, but there's far more drug use happening behind closed doors in every luxury condo building. Addiction is a lot easier to manage when you're housed, and nobody demands that you suffer.

No, this community health program does not deliver drugs. You *can* get drugs delivered in 20min though - if you have money and a home. A guy will Whatsapp you a nicely-designed menu then swing by in his Tesla with your order. Plenty of high-functioning addicts in the city.

To be clear, Canada acknowledges that Israel is: ⚠️ fuelling instability; ⚠️ depriving Gazans of human dignity; ⚠️ killing civilians, including children; and ⚠️ denying essential humanitarian assistance. Yet it refuses to impose meaningful consequences or restraints on Israel.

No Canadian should be serving in the IDF. It should be illegal for any Canadian to serve in the IDF.

More than two dozen countries have issued a statement calling for an immediate end to Israel's war on the Gaza Strip, saying the suffering there has 'reached new depths', yet they continue to trade with it. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/1lpddd

Caroline Willemen is our project coordinator for Gaza City, in the north of Gaza, Palestine. She updates us on the consequences of food shortages ⬇️ “Many patients across Gaza's healthcare facilities are no longer receiving food; the situation is more desperate than ever.…

.@torontopolice Cst William Jung @thetorontocop inferred if I didn't praise police I didn't deserve their help & incited anti-cyclist attitudes for likes. So we did some digging & he's recently found guilty of some pretty serious misconduct 1/4: tps.ca/media/tribunal…

The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU…

Silence or Death. The Israeli army is once again threatening journalists for exposing the truth from Gaza. After I reported live on civilians collapsing from hunger, I was directly targeted with public incitement by the army’s spokesperson. This is an attempt to silence us—and…

"We’ve reached the point of drinking salt water just to survive… But the real question is — can the children endure this? Can their small bodies handle this suffering? Enough silence. Enough watching in silence. Anything you do — anything — could save their lives."

A couple months ago, we revealed that The Maple had been the target of a campaign to take us offline. Today, I can tell you the campaign has escalated, with critics wanting me in prison.  In February, I published Find IDF Soldiers — a database of Canadians who have joined the…

Just finished the third formal piece on capitalist acceleration, accumulation, and murder politics. And implications for resistance. All 3 will be appearing fairly soon in various venues.

tamara and chris are ignorant shitsticks but it is nonsense to send them to jail for protest. all the liberals cheering long prison sentences are every bit the fascists they claim to hate. an expanding carceral state is a bad thing for everyone.
