This is so f’ing wild

Mark Carney, asked about Trump threatening genocide in Iran, urges “all parties in this conflict — in any conflict — to respect international laws, the rules of engagement.”

“That means not targeting, certainly, civilians or civilian infrastructure.”

He doesn’t directly address Trump’s post.

#newwest has become the FIRST city in Canada to pass a ground-breaking max heat amendment to its landlord licensing bylaw.

It is now the landlord’s legal responsibility to ensure that at least one room in every rental unit is kept at or under 26 degrees Celsius between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. #bcpoli

Tons of aid flows into Cuba as humanitarian convoy arrives on the struggling island Some 650 delegates from 33 countries and 120 organizations have started arriving in Cuba as part of a solidarity caravan transporting some 20 tons of humanitarian aid as the island grapples with a sev...

We must lift the US oil blockade on Cuba.

This is economic warfare designed to suffocate an island.

Food is spoiling.
Water supply is compromised.
Healthcare services are disrupted.

End the blockade now. Grateful to all those helping deliver humanitarian aid!

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles “Sonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

So it looks like some ppl are big mad and resorting to attacking me personally for sharing my 🧵on Facebook about how disinformation is spread about supportive housing in our city #newwest. Whelp! They can stay mad.

Happy International Women's Day! A day founded by socialist women and labour unions.

Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian boy and stood around as he bled to death, video shows Israeli forces blocked Palestinian ambulances while a 14-year-old lay bleeding for at least 45 minutes.

Israeli soldiers were caught on video shooting a 14-year-old Palestinian boy at close range. Immediately after, 14 soldiers stood around him for about 45 minutes as he died, blocking two ambulances from saving his life.

“Mayor Sim sets the tone for his caucus. He should state clearly that personal allegations against colleagues are unacceptable."

We agree with this statement from Cllr @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social.

Why has the Mayor failed to forthrightly condemn this disinformation?

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Absolutely horrifying. This refugee survived genocide and died because of the gross incompetence of federal immigration agents.

It doesn’t matter if he has Tourette’s, and those excusing this are indicating they’re okay with having this slur used. The BAFTA’s also clearly found it more offensive for a Black man to say Free Palestine editing that out than for a white man with Tourette’s to use the n-word towards 2 Black men.

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

In #newwest news “New Westminster police will start using drones.”

Just in the past few months in Minnesota, there have been as many ICE employees arrested for sex trafficking as there's been people executed by ICE agents

Canada must support Cuba "You cannot ‘live within the lie’ of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.”

Canada must help Cuba. Here is my latest about Canada's long and deep relationship with the island nation, and how Carney's Davos speech turned out to be all talk and no action.

noraloreto.substack.com/p/canada-mus...

There are 3000 Canadians currently in Cuba and we cant be bothered to do something to help Cubans.

Is the Vancouver right-wing billionaire that bought the election for Ken Sim still dressing #teamcanada for the Winter Olympics, because if that’s the case that probably needs to stop if we’re still peddling Canadian exceptionalism on the world stage, claiming not to be like Trumps America.

Haiti's Winter Olympics team shines a positive light even as IOC removes patriot from uniforms Haiti is making a statement at the Milan Cortina Winter Games with two athletes proudly representing the nation.

The International Olympic Committee ruled that an image of Toussaint Louverture, born into slavery and and leader of the Haitian Revolution, on Haiti’s uniforms violated Olympic rules barring political symbolism

“The motion comes after Italian news outlets revealed that an ICE unit will operate in Italy during the upcoming Winter Olympics. Outraged Italians flooded the streets of Milan after the news broke protesting the agency's presence at the games.“

I hope this motion succeeds.

Remember which Canadian MPs continue to align with Trump after the latest files. Every single one of them will need to be investigated.

This isn’t okay :(
