a look into what exactly Judy Schulich, the scion to a mining fortune, has been up to while on the boards of so many Canadian arts institutions

in addition to being a large donor to Zionist organizations, the Schulich Foundation has also given millions to the far right think tank Fraser Institute

Canadian-built Roshel armored vehicles are being used by ICE right now in Minneapolis, including in today's operation where ICE murdered someone else.

I wrote about this company in December. And we know this thanks to the work of World Beyond War Canada.

ICE murdered a nurse today
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Decent article about the IDF "comedian" who spoke in Toronto this week.

The big question that hasn't been answered though is: What happened here between the Israeli consultate and Canadian government? Hochman's team says he was let in only after the consulate intervened.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

It's getting worse out there, because they shot a woman in the face in broad daylight filmed at multiple camera angles and there have been no consequences
I'm back home from Minneapolis now. It's an occupation. Our federal government has sent troops to shoot us in the face. It's fucking insane.

Apparently ICE goons in multi-car caravans are circling Spanish immersion preschools in the city taunting and photographing the parents and neighbors who are patrolling the school perimeter to keep kids safe.
