My column on voting with Gaza in mind is in print in today’s election special for @thestar.com

It feels notable that a major newspaper printed a Palestinian opinion piece in a Sunday edition. I doubt this would have happened even 5 years ago.

Change is slow, but inevitable.

In my first time writing for the @thestar.com, I shared why Gaza is the best lens to help Canadians decide which parties and candidates deserve our votes this Monday.

This election, I'm voting for Gaza. But please don't call me a single-issue voter

I just want to reaffirm that what happened to Sarah Jama was awful and never should have happened, but also to remind folks the Ontario NDP did that, not the federal NDP.

Many fed NDP members spoke out against that bad call from the ONDP and @matthewgreen.bsky.social campaigned for her last fall.
@beisan.bsky.social I'm watching the Yves Engler interview. I just wanted to let you know that you helped with my decision. I either wasn't going to vote, or go Green. I was angry at the federal NDP that they didn't stand up for Sara Jama, or I didn't hear about it. If you support them, so wil I

Black Friday sales are starting and I need to remind everyone (myself most of all) that you don’t need more things.
