Canada has finally said it will acknowledge a Palestinian state, in September, if certain conditions are met.

But what does this actually mean?

I reached out to several folks who follow this issue closely.

Here’s what I learned:

I'm so glad my former professional association, the Canadian Association of Journalists, went out of their way to defend the press freedom of these "journalists."

Now this harassment is a "related story" to their writeup of the CAJ's support.

It honestly just makes me so sad.

Canada’s foreign affairs minister has hit back at a bombshell report on Canadian arms shipments to Israel, calling it “flawed.”

But is it?

I reached out to the authors, and it seems like Minister Anand might be the one with some flawed information…

What they ended up saying about this latest attack on international law was…timid, to say the least:

This is what we mean when we say that RGK Jr and his gaggle of flunkies are pushing soft eugenics. Look at that phrasing: “only very sick kids should die from measles. “

Why the fuck should ANY CHILD die from measles? Why is a sick child worth less than a well one?

Seeing multiple reporters posting that the post-debate media scrums are cancelled???

You mean to tell me the commission is so scared of having to have a backbone against grifters that they’d rather deprive us ALL of the question period than actually tell the cosplayers “you guys have to go”???

As it turns out, someone with significant ties to Canada — to our biggest museum, our 150th anniversary celebration, and more — is a top dog at the company behind the El Salvador deportation planes.

It’s day 23 of the federal election campaign, which means election day is just two weeks away!

As usual, the leaders vying for your vote have been busy little bees — we've got drama involving buttons, Canadian DOGE, and Tout Le Monde en Parle.

Oh, and the girls, as they say, are fighting:

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour

The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases

Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs
What really happened after California raised its minimum wage to $20 for fast food workers
What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?
