For 150 years, Africville, sitting right next to Halifax, was a thriving Black Canadian community.
Halifax refused to provide city services, and eventually forced residents to move as they bulldozed their homes.
This is the story of that community.

Gen Z protests brought about change in Nepal via the powers — and perils — of social media
Social media plays a major role in empowering youth as it did in the recent Gen Z protests in Nepal. But its role in protest movements can also be problematic.

Moderna’s Laval plant has delivered its first doses of messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines. The fed govt hopes the plant, which was built at a cost of $180 million will enable Canada to achieve pharmaceutical self-sufficiency.

Canada has recognized the State of Palestine 🇵🇸 a historic step away from U.S. policy.
But recognition isn’t enough. Canada must go further: sanctions, accountability, real support for peace.

NEW: “Remigration” and “mass deportations” is the new rallying cry of white nationalists. Experts say it’s a call for ethnic cleansing. A new Canadian group is trying to "normalize" the concept and get the Conservative Party of Canada to talk more about immigration.

A reporter asked if Trump would order the removal of trans flags in DC. Trump says he wouldn't oppose it but says he could get around lawsuits by arguing it incites violence.
The reporter follows up by asking if he would label trans people as a domestic terror threat to ban the trans flag.

This is classic CDN media misrepresentation.
What went down at Christie Pits wasn't two sides of the same issue.
This was a hate rally demanding mass deportations against people who live in Toronto. It was a fascist hate gathering.

The racist hate mobs are coming to Christie Pits on Saturday Sept 13.
The choice is provocative. This is where people fought the Nazi's in Toronto in 1933.
There will be a huge rally in the park this Saturday at noon to show the haters they aren't welcome.

We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.
