To be clear, to talk of one section of society "reclaiming" land which was stolen by our settler-colonial state and whose sovereignty remains unceded, and when settler-colonialism is at the heart of the current racialised rupture, is just grotesque
It was appropriate to have a day of mourning, but this language is very problematic in the context of Israel's actions and the political insistence on merging all Jews with that country as a unitary identity. And Minns' tie colour choice wasn't an accident.

Canada vs Australia. Compare the pair.
Carney does 1 trillion trade with China in the best interest of Canadians.

We’re recalibrating Canada’s relationship with China — strategically, pragmatically, and decisively — to the benefit of the people of both our nations.

Probably the only and most obvious solution to Russian agression.
The former Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, explains that the only way the west can avoid decades of war with Russia is to assure that Ukraine pushes Russia completely out of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea.

People need to stop pretending the U.S. government isn’t actively rebranding as a white supremacist movement.
🚨 The Trump administration has rolled out a coordinated campaign across departments, using imagery and messaging straight from right-wing and white nationalist circles.
This isn’t subtle.
