Now that a ceasefire agreement has been called humanitarian & medical aid should be allowed to flow into Gaza without impediment. We call for the release of all prisoners, for the free flow of aid & release of all humanitarians who travelled on the Flotillas including the 6 Canadian passport holders

Today the mayor of Vancouver called me an antisemitic terrorist supporter. Here is my speech:

This isn’t controversial
Being against what the UN calls a genocide is not controversial

Ken Sim killed the city's Equity Office.

Now, less than a week later, he's retweeting far-right residential school denialists and anti-LGBT activists.

Evict Ken Sim.

@TheSerfsTV - "How do you think it's appropriate for an elected mayor to be amplifying a far right conspiracist and genocide denial account?"

Last night I saw Richard Linklater’s “Nouvelle Vague” at VIFF and laughed and loved it and also I thought about how if Joshua was still here we might have passed notes about it like we often did about stuff like that and it made me miss him so much.
