Antisemitic garbage. I hope the people responsible are found and held accountable. All people deserve the freedom to worship in peace.

Instead of saying you plan to build a 500-bed replacement/scab worker camp you say this: "[The camp will provide] flexibility if supplementary resources are required to operate, maintain or repair the Refinery in a variety of circumstances." @astevens81.bsky.social @profsmithsask.bsky.social

Like apartheid Israel, apartheid South Africa used propaganda tours to influence public opinion in Canada. Print ad in the @theglobeandmail.com, September 4, 1986.
I invite you to examine the course description for this offering at the U of T: "ECO251 - Special Topics in Economics: Israeli Economy." This is shilling for Israel.
Senator @ypwoo.bsky.social thank you for courageously speaking up about Palestine and pressing the Government of Canada to live up to its responsibilities under international law.
Note at the bottom of the poster: “No previous knowledge of Israel required.” Is this a prerequisite @wtfis2bdone.bsky.social @isisnaucratis.bsky.social ?

A must-read article by @breachmedia.ca on Canadian universities sharing tips on suppressing speech about Israel’s genocide in Gaza & monitoring faculty & student protests. Not surprised to see YorkU listed.

Members of the board of governors at each institution must ask tough questions of senior administrators during their next meeting. No in-camera discussions about this.

Emma is a brilliant reporter and an even better human being. It's devastating to lose her labour reporting at PressProgress, and anyone who's encountered her work knows the importance of it continuing. Read her full thread, follow her, support her ⬇️
Emma Arkell@emmaarkell.bsky.social · last wk.This is my last working week as the labour reporter at PressProgress. I received notice a little over a week ago that the labour reporter position is being terminated and I’m being laid off.

This was all so obvious and every person in the Biden administration was either too stupid, or too cynical, to admit what was happening. Not a single one of them should come close to holding public office again www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

We will know more details about this tragedy in the coming days (toxicology report). I sincerely hope it prompts an open & honest discussion about impaired driving in Saskatchewan (a long standing issue) and renews our commitment to addressing this behaviour. #roughriders

“I cannot think of another country that stands so firmly on the wrong side of international law, yet continues to enjoy normal relationships with Canada.” — Professor Michael Lynk, Western University.
By 1986, it became unacceptable to carry on normal relations with apartheid South Africa's ambassador to Canada.
Finally, in Canada there is a clear & meaningful political cost for publicly displaying support for a country engaged in occupation, apartheid and genocide.

❤️ BC Hydro’s growing network of 900+ fast EV chargers. Just drove Victoria to Prince George return in our Bolt. No issues. The Hummer (pictured below) was consuming 310 Kw vs 53 Kw max for our car.
IMO this doesn't absolve @naheednenshi.bsky.social. He agreed to pose for a photo that he should have known would be used for shameless pro-Israel propaganda 👇
Jeremy Appel 🍉@readtheorchard.org · 4w agoSources tell me that Nenshi did turn down an invite to the Israel in Canada event. This photo was taken after the ambassador approached him at a separate Stampede event.
