The elites are working overtime to pin the Belleville synagogue shooting on .... Avi Lewis.

This is what happens when society ignores the far right while criminalizing people who are actually on the side of peace and safety.

On Sunday evening, a former Canadian Military soldier named Sean Ward drove his truck up to a full synagogue during prayer and opened fire with a shotgun.

Canada has a known problem of giving military training to white supremacists who later commit violent acts.

But no one is talking about that.

@sciam.bsky.social I completed 16/24 spaces, but got no "Bingo"😥

I read what I felt like and hoped it could fill the Bingo Card, but I should have read an Award-winning Science book (preferably a memoir) or a steminist romance instead of a useless epic fantasy.

After 30mins of propaganda from #CBC world news, a friendly reminder:
Both Donald's tariffs AND Carney's "retaliatory counter-tariffs" are a CONSUMER TAX ON CANADIANS.
Trump's tariffs let corpos charge more for everyday goods and blame America while they pocket more profits... 🧵

Did Alberta Premier Danielle Smith hand out a government contract worth hundreds of thousands of dollars – one that deals with the referendum – to her recent political staff?

Yes.

#Kitchener Centre MP Kelly Deridder says that she admires celebrating culture UNLESS that culture is Palestinians.

She thinks Palestinians should be policed and shouldn't be allowed to celebrate their culture.

Come to Palestine Day in #DTK this Sunday to witness the joy your MP wants to erase!

Also, Egypt just went up 9 positions in the FIFA rankings 😆

A good obituary, recommended reading for those who did not know the range and importance of Jane’s work as a storyteller.

Also, for anyone with small children, I really urge them to find Owl Moon. All by itself it is a legacy.

Canada's border agency in Quebec is emulating #ICE

They deported a dad who was providing for a sick kid and pregnant spouse.

They threatened an old woman in a wheel chair.

These aren't criminals, they're refugees waiting for their asylum claims to go to court.

In 2012, Cda's Cons slashed health care for refugees.
Doctors protested.
The Libs called it re-victimizing victims & financially stupid.
A judge ruled it unconstitutional, calling it cruel and unusual.

Last month, Carney brought back the cuts.
Where's the protest?
