No, I dont think that this is the result of a theoretical framework of oppressor/oppressed. I think that it is the fact that there is an oppressor, backed by the most powerful nations on earth, is the principal cause.

Nuance is always welcomed though there is little nuance needed when there is one civilisation controlling the movements of another. That is pretty binary!

And its ok to not love all tactics. Just dont make it your entire personality.

If you find yourself angry that Palestinian solidarity is too brash or bold or too much, and you just think that we should all mourn the dead, you should be happy that your list of the dead must be finite.

There is no "we mourn all dead" in these conditions. Because there are the dead, whose lives are over and their bodies mourned and buried, and then there is the dead -- the thousands and thousands who died in such indingity that mourning rites are in and of themselves acts of resistance.

Can one be uncomfortable with this tactic, of showing up at a memorial and disrupting it? Of course. It is an uncomfortable tactic. Its also the refuge of a movement that has tried literally everything short of political violence to get the world to stop their abuser, and nothing has happened.

The hardened position of people who would show up at a memorial of an event lead by Hamas to praise Hamas is another kind of hardened position, one that I dont think needs to be condemned, because the oppressed have the right to hardened all the way through. They do not need to moderate themselves.

There are many problems with this piece but I'll focus on one ... the prowar cries that the author dislikes comes from a hardened, extremist position of the occupier. It is uncomfortable and easy to condemn. But on the other side ...

As a kid, I participated in remembrance ceremonies a lot. Traveled to Holland and Vimy as a kid to sing at war monuments and memorials, singing Never Again. In 2002, it all changed -- "not so much a vigil as a war rally" was how the ceremonies now went, because Canada was in Afghanistan.

Je pense à l'école Bedford, et comment la presse québécoise a peinturé une communauté avec la même brosse, mais ici, presque 150 femmes étaient agressées, et person dit que c'est lié à la culture québécoise. www.journaldemontreal.com/2026/10/08/p...

Près de 150 femmes disent avoir été agressées par 36 massothérapeutes différents au Nordik Spa Village de Chelsea

Just how unrepresentative is Canada's democracy right now? Here is how much support the premiers and PM have from among all registered voters. If you're wondering why politicians seem so out of line from the average person, here is why.

Interesting way to try and save the organization's general listernership by hiding the company's biggest liability, while also probably grabbing a ton of money to continue to invent narratives like antisemitism is antizionism. Not sure how anyone with any integrity still works there.

Jesse Brown just announced that he "fired himself" -- he is going to stop hosting Canadaland to shift to covering, "this surging global movement" of antisemitism. But he'll still be the publisher and editor of Canadaland.

I searched for a list of premiers I could just copy and paste and AI reminded me that it exists and still sucks.

In 2012, I stood on a stage with Anne Carson as a volunteer grad student to help her perform BRACKO, an adaptation of Sappho, where my job was to say the word "bracket" every time there was a bracket, which was more than two hundred times

One of the outlets that ran the fake AI guy actually spiked an article I wrote for them, which was actually just a book excerpt. One lady there didn't think my COVID book was any good and she intervened to stop me from having my excerpt published.

I think that this is the best proof of the fact that fiction passes for journalism in Canada easier than criticism.

I'm sure the NY Times tomorrow will have another story about Hasan Piker, and not a mention of the VP's "intellectual guru" saying this...

I refuse to download any apps for my kids' education. It's a standard policy of mine. And certainly not just to show off homework. It's already in class! It's right there! It's with him!

Just spent 30 minutes failing to figure out how to take a photo of my kid's homework and upload it to his Teams account. When no one in the house has a cell phone (except me) and my gmail storage is maxed out, it isn't easy!

@globalaffairs.canada.ca - can you tell us why you pulled support from this important academic #disinformation conference at the last minute? Despite high profile gestures of solidarity with the #EU, it seem pressure from the #USA still scares you.
