When the police call for police to be taken off mental health calls - as police chiefs have done in Toronto, Victoria and elsewhere - we should listen, ask who responds instead, and where the money comes from to pay for that service. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Police officers shouldn’t be leading mental health calls, Toronto police chief says | CBC News
For years, police have been on the front lines of mental health crisis calls in Toronto, but the city's police chief believes it's now time to rethink that approach.

!! Two MPs denied entry to the West Bank, part of a delegation that saw a Canadian MP repeatedly assaulted by Israeli border officials, have sent a letter to Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand.

The letter calls Israel’s actions “serious affronts to Canada’s sovereignty.”
“The conduct of Israeli border officials toward Canadian parliamentarians, travelling on both special and regular Canadian passports, is unacceptable, unwarranted, and wholly inconsistent with the standards expected between allied democratic states. As you are aware, this delegation included sitting Members of Parliament whose travel plans, visas, and electronic travel authorizations had been approved in advance. The Government of Canada had also formally informed Canadian authorities of the delegation's purpose and itinerary. Despite this, the entire delegation was denied entry after waiting for hours at Allenby crossing, without clear explanation or individualized assessment. Of particular concern is the treatment of our colleague, MP Iqra Khalid, who was verbally assaulted and physically shoved multiple times by Israeli border officials while she attempted to remain near a delegation member who was undergoing questioning. The reported conduct— screaming, physical force, and statements asserting the right to touch her "as much as I want" — constitutes an egregious violation of personal dignity and basic diplomatic norms. Such conduct was directed at a sitting Canadian parliamentarian, identifiable by her official parliamentary passport, is alarming and deeply troubling. Equally disturbing is the manner in which members of the delegation who travelled with their regular Canadian passport were presented with a standardized form upon denial of entry. Delegates report being asked to acknowledge that their denial was based on unspecified "security and public safety concerns," without being provided any factual basis or individualized reasoning. Some signed the document under duress, effectively compelling them to accept a stigmatizing and unsubstantiated characterization as security risks. Many refused to sign on principle. This practice raises serious concerns about coercion, lack of transparency, and the improper treatment of Canadian citizens abroad. We are attaching a copy of the form here. We would like to know the practical and legal implications for someone who signed the form and those who did not. Are the people who were denied entry flagged in an Israeli government database as unable to travel to the West Bank and Israel and deemed as a security risk? Will this information be shared with any other countries? If yes, which? Will this impede future entry? If so, for how long? The form indicates that there is a 30 day appeal process. Could you please advise what is the process for the appeal? What practical and legal implications are there if the appeal was successful or alternatively, if it failed? As Parliamentarians and civil society representatives from Canada, we have the right to know our status in order to do our work. We would like to have support from you as Minister of Foreign Affairs and from GAC that the Canadian delegation on this fact finding mission are not deemed public safety or security risks. MP's who travelled with our Special Passport were not asked to sign the form, however, we were never informed-verbally or in writing— of the specific reasons for our denial. No opportunity was provided to respond to allegations, clarify intentions, or address concerns. This blanket denial, applied uniformly to a 30-person delegation that included elected officials from the Liberal government and NDP Caucus, undermines Israel's stated claims that entry decisions were based on individualized security assessments. Canada and Israel maintain diplomatic relations grounded in mutual respect, the rule of law, and shared democratic principles. The treatment of Canadian parliamentarians in this instance falls far short of those principles. The physical mistreatment of a Canadian MP, the arbitrary denial of entry to an entire delegation, and the imposition of stigmatizing security declarations are not minor diplomatic irritants. They are serious affronts to Canada's sovereignty, to the dignity of our elected representatives, and to the expectation that allies engage one another in good faith. We appreciate that you have indicated Global Affairs Canada has expressed objections regarding the mistreatment of Canadians involved. However, given the gravity of what occurred, stronger and more visible diplomatic action is required. Anything less risks normalizing conduct that should never be acceptable toward Canadian Parliamentarians or citizens. We look forward to your prompt response outlining the steps you will take to address this matter. Sincerely, Jenny Kwan Refimber of Parliament for Vancouver East Gurbux Saini Member of Parliament for Fleetwood-Port Letter showing the denial of entry, which non-parliamentarian delegates were made to sign, for reasons of “Public security or public safety or public order considerations”

Never forget, when you’re being asked to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river.

The Globe and Mail's editorial board has compared Palestinian solidarity protests to the KKK holding a lynching.

This newspaper is so ignorant and so anti-Black that it proudly announces that it is racist and iditotic without knowing it.

It’s almost like there is a solution to our housing crisis that has been known for a long time but never adopted because politicians are small landlords and capitalists and they don’t actually want to solve it unless there is a solution that will make them richer.

The number one thing Lewis could do about "climate change" is say I will scrap every single one of Carney's terrible industrial policies and reorient us towards the new energy economy. Carney's shit is from 30 years ago. And there's not a word about the environment in that. All jobs and profits.
