Three years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, passive mourning alone is not enough. We remember those killed, stand with Palestinians resisting destruction, and recommit ourselves to ending Canadian complicity, apartheid, occupation, and Zionist domination. bit.ly/4hAvwTr

I will cite "A Fair Country" by John Ralston Saul Neither of us provided opinion polling, but the book explains how a preservation of colonial ties is a hallmark of the Canadian project, in contrast with the USA

i like that the brand is failing enough that only 37% of USA Jews polled self label as zionist but that 90% that wants a Jewish state on liberal parameters -- they are zionists too the important point i think is that there is signifucant daylight between Jewish and zionist identities

unfortunately, most Jews are currently zionist. i think most are trapped in a propaganda bubble rather than being pro-genocide. liberal zionists believe that Israel is not an ethnic cleansing project, that its hand is forced. the point i think you are making is that most zionists are Christian.

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, I reflect on how colonial thinking runs the show, off the cliff. Alberta separationists can't handle that they are on Treaty 7 land. Federal Liberals can't handle that an LNG port expansion is expected to cause an orca population to go extinct.

Why the fuck do they keep saying “taxpayers”. You can say residents, citizens, or even people. The only reason anyone would draw lines around “taxpayers” as the people they speak for is if they think children shouldn’t be represented.

Cool, another big pro-corporate, anti-worker move from our Conservative prime minister! I am becoming The Joker Source: www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...
CTV News article text reads: The sources tell CTV News the gover ment has conveyed to them that the legislation will be aimed at introducing binding mediation before strike action is taken. Industry's message to the government was that its traditional tool to use for binding arbitration, Section 107 of the Canadian Labour Code, can only be applied too late in the labour dispute process and from its perspective, does not adequately prevent the damage caused from a work stoppage.
Several union sources CTV News spoke with are on red alert over the possibility of this legislation and contend it will strip workers of their right to strike. Unifor National President Lana Payne expressed worry on Friday in an interview on The Graham Richardson Show on HeartRadio.
