A thread for any 🇺🇸s or for 🇨🇦s who’ve forgotten (or who’ve seen too much 🇺🇸 TV/social media content & forgot): our laws are different.

We have ✨The 🇨🇦 Charter of Rights and Freedoms” which is a part of our Constitution. One of the freedoms guaranteed in there is the “freedom of expression.” 🧵 1/7

The RSF militia, backed by the United Arab Emirates, has slaughtered countless civilians in Sudan.

The US keeps selling arms to the UAE despite their support for these crimes. And Trump only cares about cutting deals with the Emiratis.

Enough. No more weapons for war crimes.

Being Canadian means we are treacherous because we made an incompetent hater look "silly."

Epstein's brother Mark Epstein notified FBI in 2023 that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered because he was ready to "name names” and that it was Donald Trump who ordered his assassination. #OpDeathEaters

Growing up in Gaza, I didn't realize that the siege I was living under was unique or that others didn't face a constant threat of death. It was only after I left that I understood I had grown up in a concentration camp, and that it shaped my life.

Many get sick while traveling.

One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions.

To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

I had to stop by #Walmart today to pick up a requested gift card & say this “Canadian Christmas” section of cards there.

Stopped by to check it out & hd this *tiny* moment when I thought that *maybe* they were actually selling 🇨🇦-made cards.

First one I checked a 🇨🇦🪿 on it… made in 🇺🇸. 😐🙄

Marjorie Taylor Greene is using her final moments as a politician to once again attack trans kids.

To every weirdo who tried to paint her as someone suddenly fighting fascism: this is who she always will be.

One small way to try to re-establish social trust would be to transparently disclose *in this very column* that you hung out with Jeffrey Epstein.

NDP MP @jennykwan.bsky.social was among the 30-person delegation Israel turned away from visiting the West Bank.

But when she called me, I Iearned why her staff told me the incident was worse than what's been reported -- and that TWO Israeli officials laid hands on an MP.

Here's what happened:

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

The 85% of evangelicals who support stripping rights, safetynets for the poor, and security for the foreigner are blaspheming God, what is sin but to disobey God

Whiteness is an idol because it serves them privileges. God hates when people twist his laws to oppress others
