Be sure to tell the Government of Canada what you feel should be the priorities for the next budget. Do this survey! I particularly took advantage of the “other” categories of answers where I got to write custom replies.

The bike lane decision is extraordinary. The Ontario Court of Appeal flat out saying: more lanes make cars go fast and “induced demand” is just a theory. Aggressively hostile to 80 years of theory and empirical evidence. coadecisions.ontariocourts.ca/coa/coa/en/i...

It takes a lot of cahones to be the largest emitter of CO2 on the planet, deny the existence of the climate change that results, and then complain when your neighbour's forests catch fire.

Neoliberalism’s defining feature was always the insulation of capital from democratic control. Trumpism’s break with free trade has changed the rhetoric. But the underlying economic order remains intact.

UN experts call for release of detained Gaza doctor
UN experts call for release of detained Gaza doctor United Nations experts have called on Israel to immediately release Palestinian physician Dr Hussam Abu Safiya and all health and care workers held in what they described as arbitrary detention. The experts said Abu Safiya's continued detention without charge or trial reflects Israel's systematic targeting of Palestinian health workers and the continued destruction of Gaza's health system. They said the targeting was aimed at inflicting conditions leading to the mental and physical destruction of Palestinians. The independent experts include special rapporteurs Francesca Albanese, Tlaleng Mofokeng, Morris Tidball-Binz, and Ben Saul.  Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, was detained by Israeli forces on 27 December 2024, when the facility was the last functioning hospital in northern Gaza. The experts said he was illegally detained alongside other medical staff and patients under Israel's Unlawful Combatants Law, a statute they previously flagged as incompatible with international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

Do we understand that Israel's actions here are ILLEGAL? It doesn't matter if the US and Canada did this/continue to do this...making a place uninhabitable for the people already there is wrong - morally and under international law.

ANALYSIS | Gaza has become frozen in 'humanitarian purgatory' — and it could get worse | CBC News
Nine months after Hamas and Israel agreed to a hard-fought ceasefire in Gaza, the term has become a cruel irony for the two million Palestinians trapped inside the territory.

⚠️ The US believed Israel was plotting to assassinate FM Araghchi or Speaker Ghalibaf during negotiations. (The leaking and confirmation of this story by unnamed current and former American officials is notable in itself.) Gift link:

A reminder that the word 'terrorism' has no value. It is selectively applied to different people and groups and places, by the US government, and the West more broadly, based on self interest and convenience. (Until a few months ago, the US had a multi-million-dollar bounty on al-Sharaa's head.)
