So Canada wants us to recognize that Zionists have ancestral ties to Palestine after centuries but refuse to recognize many Indigenous people here as having ancestral ties to our territories because of their blood quantum requirements under a genocidal Indian Status system? Makes sense.

Love that my "stand up for human Rights" Palestine lawn sign made it into the newsletter of one of my fave fabric shops, featuring an outfit I made with one of their fabrics. ✌🏽

Great episode. Love Pam's analogies that compare gov't duty to consult Indigenous peoples with sexual consent & consent for surgery: no means no. But when it comes to Indigenous rights, "We'll have a conversation with you, you don't get to say no. That is not the law of consent in any context."
Governments across Canada are bulldozing Indigenous peoples’ rights as part of a new resource push.

Listening to Canadian news is basically just everything is on fire also we need to fast track approvals on resource extraction.

Today is the five year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder.
I have a deep grief about how little we have advanced since that moment toward abolishing police violence and the police state, and how far backward we have slid in stopping all the causes and manifestations of it.
May he rest in peace.

Social media breaks are so great. But sometimes I do want to share a bit of my life with you all, so here is a crochet project I'm finishing up this long weekend. These are the first granny squares I've ever made and I'm super proud of finally figuring out this crochet thing as a leftie. #crochetsky

I think I now need to avoid all post-election analysis because it might make me scream/cry. Luckily for me it's so easy to do that in Canada rn: you have to work hard to find relevant, trustworthy news. No wonder folks don't care anymore.

It is tragic to see Niki Ashton lose. She knew that it was a real possibility after the NDP signed their deal with the Liberals and here we are.

As much as I was critical of Jagmeet Singh and how I felt like he always held back from his potential, I'm sad to see him resign. 💔

I'm mad at people who voted liberal in NDP/Green ridings without knowing wtf they were voting for or even really understanding how our electoral system works. You know, the ones who got caught up with this wave of nationalism and had Carney and Canada Strong signs on their lawns.

This is how conservatives win votes. Disinformation and fear mongering. It's not a new tactic, but one they ramped up this time and it got results.
Came home to this flyer in my mailbox. Not surprised by the scare tactics, the misinformation, the attempt to fool voters. unreal but here we are, and there are so many reasons why we are here right now.

That was a boring election with depressing results. To see the NDP lose so many seats, and good people like Mike Morrice trailing behind a fly-in conservative candidate should be a BIG fucking warning sign to the left. The cons relied on disinformation to get here - think about that.

The NDP lost its appeal to the left, and lost to vote splitting, but mostly I think the left and centre need a come-to-jesus moment about how to combat the insidious, overwhelming right wing disinfo juggernaut
