Yeah. I really can't swallow Canadians who rage about January 6th but have been consistently quiet about the Convoy. The convoy literally occupied the city - for weeks. They blocked access to emergency vehicles. They had massive trucks, open cannisters of fuel; they were building infrastructure!

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash. Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

🔴 Gaza Health Ministry Director-General: At least 24 people in Gaza have died from extreme cold and collapsing shelters, including three deaths yesterday and a child, bringing the number of children killed by exposure to seven (it has since risen to 8).

The humanitarian crisis is worsening fast. While trucks carrying soda and snacks are allowed in, Israel continues to block medicines, vitamins, and medical supplies amid a severe flu outbreak and new virus variants, some identified as mutated COVID. Hospitals are overwhelmed with entire families. Drug stocks are running out. Malnutrition is spreading among mothers and children, driving dangerous levels of anemia, premature births, and congenital deformities.

Doctors report children arriving blue from cold, shaking, or already dead. Many succumb to fever and severe coughs after months of hunger, fear, and exposure. It is a slow, deliberate crisis of starvation and preventable death.

At least 24 martyrs so far due to frost and cold and the collapse of homes, including 3 yesterday and a child, raising the number of child martyrs to 7. The humanitarian tragedy in Gaza is deepening, and its children do not need speeches but shelter and a hand to protect them. The occupation continues its policy of slow killing, while trucks loaded with cola and chips enter, medicine and vitamins are banned at the peak of a severe influenza outbreak and unprecedented variants, some of which have been proven to be mutated corona. Hospitals are teeming with entire families, medical stocks are depleting, and malnutrition is gnawing at mothers and children, reaching dangerous levels of anemia, with rising premature births and congenital deformities, in a deliberate starvation policy and a comprehensive health disaster. Victims of the cold, especially children, arrive with cyanosis and shivering, and sometimes having lost their lives, as death sneaks in the form of severe fever and coughing in bodies exhausted by hunger and fear over two years.

⭕️ BREAKING: At least three Palestinians have been killed after part of a destroyed hall and another structure collapsed on displaced people sheltering inside, amid a severe storm and winds in Gaza. 

Another young man was seriously injured when his tent was blown off a four-story roof. Meanwhile, new Israeli airstrikes and demolitions continued, even as the storm worsens.

A million and a quarter Gazans have been living for hours in a nightmare called the "atmospheric depression" that visits them at least once a week or every two weeks .. with its winds that uproot the tents .. and its rains that drown them and its cold that ravages their bones ..

Just moments ago, part of a destroyed hall collapsed on those who had taken it as a place for their displacement, so two were martyred, and in another place a third was martyred! And by morning, we will hear about more ..!
Just moments ago, a young man was seriously injured after the wind hurled him along with his tent that he had set up to shelter him on the roof of a 4-story house!!

All this, and just moments ago, the planes bombed and the sound of new demolition operations was heard!

The whirlwinds of tragedy and suffering continue.. and the frustration fills the souls of the shivering Gazans from the cold and the abandonment!

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body." Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...
(RNS) — In video recorded on Friday (Nov. 4) outside the embattled U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Illinois, the Rev. Michael Woolf stands alongside fellow protesters, fiddling awkwardly with his backpack as faith leaders and other protesters chant slogans at a line of police officers. A moment later, one officer can be seen walking forward, grabbing Woolf by the wrist and yanking.

Demonstrators attempted to hold on to Woolf, who was a clerical collar, but four officers wrenched him from the crowd and tossed him to the ground. After turning him onto his stomach, officers proceeded to arrest Woolf, and removed him to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office in Maywood, Illinois.

“I’ve got bruises all over my body,” Woolf, an American Baptist minister who is pastor of Lake Street Church of Evanston, Illinois, told Religion News Service. He was speaking in his first interview since being released Friday afternoon after about seven hours in custody.

Woolf said when he asked the arresting officers to loosen the plastic handcuffs that were causing his hands to go numb, an officer replied: “Nobody wants to talk to you — shut the f–k up.”

“It’s part of the dehumanizing nature of it, and it’s it gives me a lot of clarity around what’s happening here,” said Woolf, who has been active in protests against ICE. “It’s really a spiritual emergency.”
