1/ While the news was released on May 29, 2021, May 23 was the date that the 215 were discovered by ground-penetrating radar. Today, the fourth anniversary, is a day that should be remembered and acknowledged. #fnmi #215 #kamloopsresidentialschool #residentialschools #cdnpoli

take five minutes tonight to call or email your MP and ask what "further concrete actions" Canada will be taking immediately, as Israel continues to block essential aid from reaching Gaza www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...
Joint statement from the leaders of Canada, the United Kingdom and France on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank
The Israeli Government’s denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law.

I keep seeing a lot of super shallow left-ish observations that Carney winning as PM means that Canada “got it right”, but holy hell, y’all, this election pulled the country way further to the right.
Good:

* Poilievre isn't Prime Minister.
* Poilevre lost his own seat.

Bad:

* Everything has shifted substantially rightward.
* 40% of popular vote and +20 seats for Cons.
* Basically a two-party parliament of centre right and far right.
* Left leaning parties wiped out.

I didn’t think this story could get any more tragic. But this report, from the remarkable Kim Bolan, just makes everything more heartbreaking. And I hope it will help to quell the conspiracies, along with the craven political exploitation of this horror. It’s just tragedy piled atop tragedy.

Here are all the bus routes that are up for elimination if our decision-makers don't fund transit by April! Each bus route listed here is indispensable for those who take them. They all play an important role in keeping our region connected and moving, no matter how big or small.

Absolutely love Libro.fm. I get to support my local bookstore (hell yeah Iron Dog Books) while also enjoying my favourite format (hell yeah audiobooks). And I own what I buy. 💜📚

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.

We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

Far too many of you fail to understand you can resist fascism without demanding a deepening loyalty to the nation-state...especially since extreme nationalism is literally one of the hallmarks of fascism.

Indigenous Ppls are not the enemy, and we are not going to be forced to reify our colonizers.

trade war btwn imperialist allies (US & Canada) is means to use economic nationalism to rally behind otherwise status-quo. struggle between 'foreign' & 'domestic' capital maintains capitalism, hurts ppl through price gouging, reinforces racist nationalism & intensifies extraction on Indigenous lands

People think resistance comes naturally, but forget that most people need to be shown how. They need it modeled and more so than that they need to be shown that it is even possible. That is part of the power of protests and other public forms of resistance.

“On the level of individuals and civilizations, personality predates ideology. Meaning before you were a fascist, you were a bully and an asshole.”

Just a quote from Brennan Lee Mulligan that’s been playing on repeat in my mind today.
