Now it's a day later and the APTN and CBC Indigenous news sites still have no story about, or even mention in another story of Israel abducting, in international waters, a First Nations person who has Canadian citizenship.

Mskwaasin Agnew (Dene/Cree, Salt River First Nation) was among the humanitarians on board Conscience that was illegally boarded by Israel in international waters.
We are asking everyone to contact the Canadian Government (email addresses & phone numbers on the poster)

Ugh I ❤️ Bike Share Toronto it’s come so far since I lived here (back when it was Bixi and there were like 20 stations 😂). And the protected bike lanes along Adelaide/Richmond are awesome. #biketo #bikingisbest

Honestly the GO train is so embarrassing like the lurching into every station harkens back to what I imagine 19th century trains were like. Absolutely brutal. 🫨🫨

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Tell me the last time a highway made money, the last time a school made money, the last time a hospital made money.

They don't. They are public services.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.

"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

The Canadian Justice system loses $20 billion year.

The Canadian military loses $34 billion a year.

Canadian Health Care loses $372 billion a year.

Imagine if Carneys liberals talked about services like it does the Post Office.

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse

They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

Gaza is a testing ground for this tech (nvm the absolute cowardice of the army using it). It is also the graveyard of our shared humanity. Ashamed (but not surprised) Canada continues to be staunchly on the wrong side of history. Settler colonizers gonna support each other. #fuckcolonialism
