Such an unfathomly beautiful world we are destroying. For me, Indigenous teachings (eg https://worldviewliteracy.org/) offer a useful path forward. Also #nonviolence!

We honour the six Muslim Canadians killed and the 19 injured in the 2017 attack at the Centre culturel islamique de Québec in Sainte-Foy. Dehumanization leads to violence, and we all have a role to play in addressing Islamophobia and hate and ensuring everyone can live and worship safely.

There is a dark history here in Toronto’s east end. Nazis openly paraded on the boardwalk where signs read: “Jews and dogs not allowed.”

Reflect on that history, how silence enabled that hate, and how one should act to confront hate today.

Never again.

We remember the Holocaust and the mass murder of millions, including 6 million Jewish people. And we remember the antisemitism and dehumanization that enabled a genocide.

We have responsibility to combat hate and ensure that ‘never again’ has real meaning.

It's quite chilling to search the Associated Press wire for photos of the Iran protests and find basically nothing.

For those who don't know, for the AP to be unable to find someone to take a photo and get it out of the country means the blackout is about as dark as it can be.

Today is the one year anniversary of starting the Charlie Angus resistance substack. A year ago, I was speaking about the hypotheticals - the suspension of the rule of law, concentration camps, threats against other nations.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.
