Found it! The housing policy that I can support for the Canadian election. Unfortunately, it wasn't developed by any of the parties running. It was written by @ricardotranjan.bsky.social of @policyalternatives.ca

It will take more than an Oscar to stop Israel’s West Bank plans Winning an Oscar won’t stop Israel from annexing Area C in the West Bank, as No Other Land co-director Hamdan Ballal brutally learnt, writes Leilani Farha.

"Area C is Palestine."

Oscar-winning #NoOtherLand documents the struggle in #MasaferYatta but the crisis extends through Area C. @leilanifarha.bsky.social explains how Israel denies Palestinians access to 99% of their own land & created an apartheid planning system

Excellent overview from @leilanifarha.bsky.social of what No Other Land & Area C is all about: land, identity, home, livelihood, apartheid, human rights, past, present & future.

Excited to finally have my hands on the final copy of There Is No Place for Us, by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social!

I read an advance copy this fall, & it's a really poignant dive into the human harms & catastrophe that follows the combo of a housing affordability crisis & labor precariousness.

True. But it's hard to imagine why he would choose Mendocino in light of his flagrant hatred of a sizeable part of the electorate.

Carney like other politicians is choosing to throw Arabs/Muslims/Palestinians/ supporters under the bus. A choice that won't be kind at the ballot box. Ask Kamala.

Imagine @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social appointing Marco Mendicino as Chief of Staff. A rabidly anti-Palestinian Zionist.

The Liberal Party forgets that Arab Canadians, Muslims, Palestinians + supporters vote and our votes make a difference.

The recent U.S. election proves that. Starkly.

Strong statement from ACLU on the detention of Mahmoud Khalil:

"The federal government is claiming the authority to deport people with deep ties to the US and revoke their green cards for advocating positions that the government opposes."

Could global solidarity finally force Elon's hand? Swedish workers have been striking against Tesla for 18 MONTHS – could the anti-DOGE demos now happening worldwide help tip the balance in their favor?

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Also the piece misrepresents what the Courts have said. All they've said is it's a violations of security of the person to evict someone from an encampment if there are NO shelter beds or if those available are inappropriate. The Citizen should have reviewed for accuracy.

As you say, the article actually proves your point by failing to query why people refuse shelters and distrust social workers. (Does anyone trust their potential jailor?)
