I don't give a DAMN what your political inclinations are, behaviour like this is completely and utterly unacceptable!

Fewer kids than last year. But I’ve eaten a mini bag of chips and got two big hugs from an adorable four-year-old banana so Halloween has been a big success so far.

In the middle of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Canada 1) contracted to buy missiles from an Israeli company and 2) planned to send Canadian troops to Israel for training on how to use them.
Absolutely unconscionable and an egregious violation of international law.

Thirsty AI data centres are coming to Canada, with little scrutiny or oversight | CBC News
Canada is poised to join the data centre boom. But as such projects face greater scrutiny around the world, there is little debate here about what this will mean for the country’s water.

Since much focus lately seems to be on who should or shouldn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, I’ll say that the Palestinian journalists who have reported from inside this war zone, this genocide, for the past two years , tirelessly and at grave personal risk, deserve every award on the planet.
BREAKING: Prominent Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi has been killed by gunmen in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighbourhood, making him one of more than 270 journalists killed since Israel’s war began in 2023.

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal that’s being pitched as Trump’s “Gaza Peace Deal” which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

Still no definitive word from the Canadian gov’t or 🇨🇦 media - who could easily contact flotilla organizers/friends, family - on the whereabouts of Canadians kidnapped by Israel in international waters off the Gaza coast.
* CBC, however, does have a story on why U.S. politicians swear a lot.

No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences.
